US the only daily living taking care of when you work they've done right at that moment you ever trust that's really really good -- -- without them. -- they're great people like you play you stay here a minute because I wanna ask you and we can swing the other the microphone or do you know this has -- kind of loop -- new year obviously. And everybody's been talking about it for -- you to. Everything is kind of put. But there have been brought together here as a pitcher right now. You're pitching the best you've pitched in the big leagues that's and -- the team is not going so what is it been frustrating how was it when -- individual. Accomplishment is doing great and yet things aren't going great for the days. It's definitely frustrating you know it's always frustrating when you -- when -- especially. With the team we brother today we you know we expect to win and that's. There is -- -- was frustrating and doesn't happen right now then you know sometimes the process and and he's got to sort of take what you do and sometimes even as far as I know you know on long turnaround -- good evening James and durable and very good contacts blog this there earlier this yourself. You don't have lost children are filled. Confident whenever possible nonconference teams come from behind you playing -- so. It's -- you know it's good -- it's different neighborhood that doesn't matter what I do for us and we don't win. More than we lose so it's that's for all right now we gotta gotta -- we don't have much time left in the season so -- don't know. -- -- -- -- -- And on over here guys. Thank clay it's almost as if you had. Two seasons because when you start off this season. Gonzales really did look like clay buckles resembling what what's wrong what's going around and on the CRA's we have there now. You're looking like the guy we expected this week. How do you approach is what you thought of this season it's it's been pretty strange if you look at their way to what how you start off from the beginning how you are now. Yeah it's an -- world where Percy. Going through adversity it's tough especially the soldiers start to do performing and brought their new -- -- in the -- -- they come off an injury Doug Oxford everything that happened right there and grab workers returning didn't start had a slow spring the first six or seven starts this you're. We're not good at all so it was no when it's you -- unemployment numbers are going to be -- World -- I of these old Russell. -- curtains drawn distraught when there's this evening and that's sort of got me slowly back to where I'll I'll were merely continues. She is what you guys get into a routine -- you're in your routine. Arm slot everything seems to work out how do you repeated that. And continue that so you don't have these little -- down I don't know if you guys. And William. And everybody knew exactly what they're doing wrong on every -- you on -- bill won't know there's still wouldn't. To make mistakes and that this move -- teens from using this. It's pretty taxing maritime muscle removed played ball goes a long way. You know I just that's -- part about it but. Don't think you can win here need to play these -- and employee agency can learn looking close here he's going to play them well he's either you're there. -- -- -- Pull -- of these are -- Kessel is still so the economy in the short porch I'm sure we're. You know it's it's -- good -- just fun way to tell. We can't -- be sound and did you do miss a hole this beautiful you're gonna have a short memory -- didn't go back down. I think I've I've lost count of how many pitching coaches you've had. -- your career here yeah. I know there's another one. What would your reaction found out that the Bob McClure missed throughout the seasons pitching coach is no longer the pitching coach tell you that's. I feel like that's the business are various holes -- home when things are going good there's. There's always got a mere reason regardless of the there's a reason they're not and it's. Some people would just for insurance that I think that's that's where was. I really really -- imagine. -- -- we'll talk to join him he was sort of put me on arrival as far as guided -- It's sort -- starts off.
