BONUS: Replay Coordinator Mike Brenly Joins & Makes His Play Tessie Debut

We appreciate you coming on and we just got to start because I mean, you're you're on the ends here.

I got I got to ask how you feel just in general about this team.

Obviously, it's been a wild road to get here, but we're less than I mean, the playoffs.

It's crazy.

They start in September.

We're in September.

We're a week into this thing.

So how do you feel just right now about the state of the team?

I mean, it's hard not to feel positive.

It's hard not to feel the wave of positivity going on within the building.

And, you know, I think anyone that's been involved with the team, especially on a day to day basis, you go through stretches in a season where you feel like you're never going to lose a game.

You know, I equate it back to the 2018 team and it didn't matter what the score was, who was pitching, who we were playing, what the circumstances were.

We were going to win.

And if we didn't, it was almost a shock to the system.

Like, wait a minute, what just happened? We lost the game? And then we'd go reel off 10, 12, 11 in a row, whatever it was.

It's the same feeling now.

You go through stretches where you don't think you're ever going to win a game.

And you're constantly waiting for what's bad going to happen.

Who's going to give up a homer? Who's going to ground into a double play? Who's going to make an error? It's just a feeling that engulfs the room.

But lately, I mean, it's just been that feeling of who's going to be the hero tonight.

You know, whether it's Mickey, whether it's Siegler or Sogi, down the list, name a guy.

And, you know, it's not always Rafa and the big boys every single night.

It's been really cool to see these role guys come up and fill a unique role and just run with their opportunities.
