00:00What if any guarantee did you get about being the guy to get the saves or are you?

00:19Important getter of outs that those outs may come in the fifth or the sixth or the seventh

00:25You know obviously postseason is completely different, right? It doesn't matter who pitches

00:31What role as long as you get 27 outs with a win, that's all it really matters

01:26So we have some guys on this team that I've been there and done it and I think you know

01:29just adding more of us to that clubhouse is you're going to bring that culture there and

01:35And once you get that culture established and it's it's all going to be a hard team to beat
