David did you enjoy your birthday yeah I did uh it was a good team win and um yeah good to get another one in the series Carlos talked about how good your fast ball was at the top of the zone at what point in the night did you start to realize that was going to be a Pitch that you could really lean on yeah I think it was pretty early uh we were able to execute with the fast balls up at the top of the zone and um yeah we were getting swings and misses and so uh kept going back to it and uh using some of the other stuff to to be able to get back to it how much more I don't know confidence is the word but are you just gaining as you keep stacking up these starts after yeah I think um good performances do that for you you know they build confidence and um you know just trying to to look back at the starts and what did I do well what can I build off of and uh what needs to get better for the next one and so um you know I think we're just sticking to the process and taking it one start at a time one pitch at a time and um trying to simplify it as much as we can are you feeling extra importance for the games now that we're in September yeah I mean there's obviously uh ramifications that uh these games come with but I think we're still taking it one game at a time we're trying to go one and0 every day and um just because we're get L later into the season we're not changing anything uh we're coming every single day and like I said take it one day at a time and try and go win that one game and then and then we'll move on car described almost a feeling of inevitability when Lindor is at the plate and you guys need a big hit how would you describe that feeling or sense in the D out yeah know I felt the same thing uh I felt like in that inning that he hit the Homer if we could get a guy on and get him up to the plate something special was going to happen and um he's been doing a lot uh he's had a great year and um I know he's going to continue to do do what he does and um yeah it's special he's uh he's been doing a lot of it lately and uh when I think you saw it was kind of contagious at the end you know guys those those runs at the end were huge for us uh to kind of continue the lead and and put ourselves in a good spot for the night so um yeah he's he's been doing great and I think everybody in the lineup has they come working every day whether they're doing good or bad and um trying to contribute that for Steamers if you haven't thrown as much this year as in the past how important has that been to your overall yeah it's been very important I think uh being able to use the two different fast balls has been big and um so yeah just depending on on our plan and the matchups you know um that kind of dictates the usage and kind of how the game's going and so uh I think early on tonight kind of like we talked about uh the foram was going to be something that I could use to my advantage what is the career high and strike as me for you it's cool um I think it's yeah I mean it's a cool thing to have but uh the win is more special how else do you plan on or have you already celebrated your birthday the win's good enough for me um I will take that that's that's a good enough present for me and um call a family and say good night and um yeah it'll top it off what does um reaching 30 home runs again me to you um it feels good um I haven't really thought what he really means um all I know is today when he won the game and he help to get their offense going so I was pleased with that happy with that and um yeah we got to continue to climb them up does mean just the fact that a lot of your hits it seems like especially lately whether it was both hits today come in spots yeah I love that I love that I I I want those moments and um in April you really talk about it I think I had those moments as well I just didn't come through and right now I'm coming through it's baseball it's um it's a wave a good way right now as long as we can um thank the Lord for blessing we have yeah when whenever I come up in those situations it might look like I'm the guy doing it but the guys in front of me are the ones that are actually big time you know Jeff had a greater bat in the ninth inning um I mean they and Al Al had a great at B well you know to the ground ball now I get to come up with second first and second um just some out of me just following their their steps so it's a Contin and just what happens uh work out that I'm the one getting big along the lines of those big moments Peterson and Carlos both described almost like a a feeling of an inevitability in The Dugout when you're at the plate in those spots do you feel that at all when you're at the plate um right now I'm walking to the plate and um I feel good you know feel good but um I'm in the moment you know I'm in the moment I prepare in the when I'm in the top step and then I'm on Deck going through scenarios preparing and then once I'm in the Box I just let things happen you know um I'm glad it kind of feels like that for the people are outside you know um that's a good thing um I'm just living in the moment and uh enjoying the moment do you feel an extra urgency to the games now that we're in September I've been feeling that for a while been feeling that for a while this is not just September um yeah September we getting closer you know we have less games uh but for a while there we have had a sense of urgency and it's not just me it's everybody in here even the guys that get cold up they understand that we're in a mo what's it like for you um MVP Champs second time around tonight even louder you mention April it feels great it'll be a dream it'll be a dream but right now I'm just trying to play winning baseball and we'll see where we have the end of the year and hopefully wi in the postseason and if it happens it would be a dream it be it would be something extremely special but right now I'm focus on winning baseball baseball games and um at the end of the day um I appreciate the love the friends are giving me um and I just got to continue to put up a good show for them you know so so you keep on getting louder and louder what did you see from Peterson tonight what was that what did you see from Peterson tonight uh he executed he a true professional he's preparing he's going about it the right way they in and day out he's not get letting the moment get too big for him he's um in the moment and um he he has come a long way I'm super happy for him the way he has executed his game plans um this year how much play every day at this level no days off just powering yeah no I mean the the no le off we it hats off to the training staff here to to the athletic trainers um everybody's helping me prepare day in and day out to nutrition me he's done a fantastic job forcing me to do things that at the time I might not want to do it he I always say that he's the most consistent guy in the organization and um and then to the Lord for blessing me who help you know I uh it's going to be one Buck um quotes just post up every day and that's I'm trying to be do you to reach back little more at this point Ian you've been through five five plus months so far and now it's the most important month um every day you have to um you have to be disciplined to go out there and get it done you know it's it's one of those where if you can't get up on a month like this one there's something wrong you know um this is a good time of the year whenever you step outside it's getting a little colder um gets darker a little
