00:00We're going to leave it out there.

00:04I don't think that the pressure, the moment is going to be too big for us.

00:07We've got to go out there and win one baseball game.

00:09We've done that all year.

00:11Everyone's bought in, and so I don't know how the game's going to play out.

00:14But as far as kind of the moment, winning a game,

00:17I couldn't be more excited to get to sleep

00:20and wake up to play a baseball game tomorrow.

00:22If Shohei agreed with it,

00:24what kind of conversation did you have with him for tomorrow?

00:28Just kind of figuring out what his temperature is on starting

00:32versus coming out of the pen, and so we're close to a decision.

00:36He never pitched it with a three days rest in a regular season.

00:39Are you confident to send him out to the mound?

00:42I am. I am. We all are.

00:44This is game seven, so there's a lot of things that people haven't done,

00:48and you've just got to trust your players and try to win a baseball game.
