Dodgers Postgame: Landon Knack discusses his start against Giants, playing with fellow rookies

when you think about this outing it was more of an uphill CL but you found different ways to be effective how did you find just managing yourself through this outing yeah I felt like uh I was a little off early in counts with off speed like and of course I need to land it a little bit more early but we were making pitches kind of when we had to a lot um really curveball especially felt really really good today um and so like I felt like for the most part we were just kind of keeping them like in between the entire time um and just doing a good job mixing Dave was telling us ahead of the game that you know he wanted to put you in a situation maybe get a little deeper into it how do you I guess kind of manage that with yourself you are someone who want to let it go early but also finding ways to kind of keep it there you can get deep into yeah you kind of have to trust the fact that like we put in all this work I mean you you uh you know the conditioning is there to be able to pitch deep in the games even if it's up at 100 pitches uh it's still there to be able to rip the entire time and so it's uh it's trusting that and continuing to just go all out the entire way um and just like start to finish just keep going like the results have been pretty good all year like what have you just been proudest of when you look at the season so far for you what you've been able to do up here uh I feel like I've just kind of showed them my stuff plays here um I've done a good job kind of like again like mixing and keeping people in between and showing that I have four pitches that I can throw for strikes and continue to kind of use all four as a weapon and so uh just kind of proving to myself that I can stay here pitch here for a long time belong here so has it been fun like like you have a lot of like other like young guys in the rotation right now is it fun when you have a group like that and you guys are all kind of succeeding and helping carry the load a little bit absolutely yeah I mean it's obviously guys you come up with this entire way to be able to see them come up here and have some success to and be able to kind of come contribute here I mean it's it's fun it's cool to see the young guys come and and step up and do their thing here and so yeah no absolutely it's it's been a great experience your walk up song is usually return at the Mac today your fiance and Nisa chose milkshake uh could it stay I mean it might have to I don't know we we uh we actually kind of got a little deeper in there so may maybe we do have to keep it I don't know thank you appreciate yall
