Shane Bieber

He started last night, right?

And then we find ourselves in like the 11th or 12th inning.

And he's like, babes, if this gets squirrely, you could tell he was the wheels were turning.

And he's like, can you pitch?

And I was like,

Yeah, yeah, I can.

And so I went and told Schneids and Pete, and Pete was like, yeah, we might need you as a last resort.

And I think I was probably very close to getting the ball.

But ultimately, I choose to believe it's working out the way that it's supposed to work out and was able to make the start tonight.

Yeah, I was definitely amped up, right?

Just you have to get yourself ready to –

to pitch in the 19th inning of a World Series game marathon and potentially, you know, I was thinking about my first big league save and in the World Series, that would have been very cool, but very happy with how things worked out.

I don't know.

I got back to the hotel around 1 a.m., fell asleep there shortly after, maybe 1.45, 2.

Yeah, I didn't sleep very well.

Yeah.

thought I used it really well tonight I think that came in lieu of not having a great slider tonight and kind of yanking and opening up early and they weren't chasing and so had to rely on something else I think that's the benefit of being able to command five pitches for the most part and you figure out pretty quickly what's working what's not and obviously you you continue throughout the game and in warm-ups in between innings to try and straighten out that slider and

and land it.

And honestly, I was saying earlier, I thought the best one I threw was the last pitch I threw.

And unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the out.
