And you know coming off three tough losses in a row and got one of those guys amount of the game the face in and night it's you know if you know it's a bit battle and it was a great game for -- but there. In counseling about who we could against him -- that ability. Well tonight was kind of a blueprint of what you guys did last night but I'm curious you have such a great approaching you had a good approach to him in the past because he's white hot. And you've had success against him in the past what was it that you were looking for to him and you've carried over -- got another your five your last day so you're saying about really well what do you look at for up there. Playing right now I mean really im just trying to get this and it you know just skip thank you to simple normal normal stuff. -- I realize I had. You know better numbers against Felix and everybody else if he passes it. Some reason it's worked in the morning thank you right. Don't -- -- -- that's a tough year for offensively if you feel like maybe. Things are starting to go your way a little bit obviously you know. Hoping to get your batting average to 250 that's probably not gonna happen but you feel like things start to turn in their turning at a good time. Yeah I mean really. This year offensively. There's nothing I mean -- -- -- just didn't get out the rest of these and it's not gonna turn out too low self. I mean it's just all about trying to get -- -- -- some help the team win.

I -- likened it to not vehicle many cheap your call the play. The Saunders played it. Yeah like he yeah I hit it kind of knuckle bump me up back. I don't think based on overtime and short so. It was just you know trying to catch him in you know thrown out anyway possible so simply not a move like either short I don't think that. You know for a guy you you say did you would've done it sure yet great instincts and you and I have impressed with your footwork around the back how is the adjustment been for you at second base.
