00:00Aaron, what did you think of the tone that Cam Schlittler set for this team to start the night?
00:04Yeah, awesome.
00:06He was great.
00:07I mean, the only thing was, was obviously a higher pitch count.
00:12You know, they made him work a little bit there in the first.
00:14Rutschman has a really long at-bat against him.
00:18So they took some tough at-bats against him, I thought, throughout the night.
00:21That made it, you know, hard for him to get super deep.
00:24But he was terrific.
00:27You know, fastball, probably his best curveball of the year to go with, obviously, I thought, really good command and
00:35in control of his heaters.
00:37He wound up throwing a career-high 117 pitches.
00:39You generally don't push guys that far.
00:41Just how much of a debate was there to send him back out there for the seventh, and how much
00:44did he campaign to stay on that mound?
00:46Yeah, no debate to send him out.
00:48I was going to have him go face Contreras, no matter what.
00:54Probably should have taken him at that point.
00:57But I got a little greedy.
01:00And, you know, I mean, part of the calculus was, you know, coming into this series was the tune-up
01:06start into the five-day.
01:07You know, with the thought of, I'm going to lean on him a lot today.
01:14So probably a little higher than I'd like to go, and maybe I should have gotten him out of there,
01:19you know, for the Abreu bat,
01:21because I had Hedrick set up there, but, you know, he was just not obviously so good
01:27and felt like if we could squeeze another out or two potentially, you know,
01:32then, you know, preserve a lot of guys there that you may have to use the next couple days.
01:36And I'll see you in the next couple days.
01:36And I'll see you in the next couple days.
01:37And I'll see you in the next couple days.
01:37And I'll see you in the next couple days.
01:37And I'll see you in the next couple days.
