What mindset do the managers have going into Game 6 of the World Series?
Do you look at it as one season, or has it kind of been like two or three at this point?
One, to be honest with you. I think that whenever you start a spring training, this is kind of where you want to end up. Doesn't always happen, so you have to appreciate it, but yeah, man, this is the story of the 2025 Blue Jays. Pretty cool.
Third row on the right side. John, when you're in the middle of things that are happening live, George hitting the home run, Yosevich doing what he did last night, these incredible, maybe for the ages, kind of baseball moments, are you able to sort of be part of what the history of it is, or are you too busy managing to appreciate all that's going on?
A little bit of both, but much more so kind of in the moment with what you're doing. Those two particular moments, I think, appreciated the magnitude of George's swing in game seven for a few seconds and with a few players in the dugout. And then Trey was kind of, it was kind of like a slow drip, you know what I mean, over seven innings. So you, I mean, I just remember at one point I said to Pete, I said, how many strikeouts is that? And he was at 10, because you kind of lose track of that a little bit. When you're following along in the order and things like that, all right, who's coming up next? But man, there were some funny adjectives between myself and Pete after a lot of those pitches that Trey threw that were in the zone and then out of the zone.
So it was fun to watch, but I think that you're a little bit more in the moment of managing than you are kind of being a fan. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, those are okay names to be a part of. I saw that last night, too. That's pretty impressive.
Arding on the left side here. John, how close did George get to starting yesterday's game?
He was right on the fence. I think he probably could have, you know what I mean? And I was really juggling what's best for him, what's best for the team, not just immediately to start the game, but kind of how that game may unfold too. He was close, you know what I mean?
How do managers appreciate historic moments during intense games?
He was close and he was ready to come in, and I'm glad we didn't need him and got him an extra couple days, but hopefully he's good to go tomorrow. Yeah, what's your kind of expectation for game six? What kind of boxes does he still have to check? Not many, to be honest with you. I think just making sure he feels comfortable and confident tomorrow, you know what I mean? And not just for, you know, one at bat, you know, to go in and to compete and kind of get locked into a game. So he's kind of checked every box physically so far. So see how tomorrow goes.
Staying on the left side, Shay. Hey, John. Day later... just as you're thinking back to some of the things that Trey did just that played out yesterday that you maybe beforehand warm up, like what are some of the things that you'll, that you'll really remember from Trey's day yesterday?
It's going to sound funny. The initial comebacker that he kind of bobbled and then the way he flipped it to Vlad kind of showed me he was where he should be mentally and didn't panic. The double play to end the seventh, obviously, I'll remember that. The number of pitches he threw, I'll remember that. That's a new high mark for him. But I think just striking out four or five in a row, when he got into a rhythm there, it was fun to watch. those are the things that jump out. You know, there's a lot of quality pitches. You know, there's some big, big strikeouts. Striking out, I believe it was Alex Call to not get Otani up to the plate. It was, he kind of avoided some dangerous areas too. So, I mean, I was, like I said last night, I was kind of in awe of a lot of what he did.
And Davis was saying there wasn't a lot of sleep on the plane last night coming home. I'm just wondering what the vibe is on a flight like that, knowing there's an off day, but just understanding that the next game you play, you can clinch a World Series title list.
Yeah, the vibe was exactly how it always is coming home with an off day, you know what I mean?
