[Music] I know this wasn't your major league debut but I have to imagine with the first career start catching working with Gavin Stone did it feel like today was the main debut for you yeah 100% um going out there you know first pitch taking in the whole atmosphere of it you know it's it was a dream come true for sure yeah to navigate just our lineup so effectively with what was working really well for the yeah going into it we had a good uh game plan um Sinker was working well um you know just the back and forth game with Sinker slider and you know mixing in the change up and you know he threw a hell of a game so it was easy to catch you know he kind of led the way must the way so yeah he made it easy for me for sure what's different about Gavin Now versus maybe especially we talking past play add more more towards Arsenal yeah I think the Sinker is a big part of his game now um you know working on his slider I think his slider got a little better so you know adding two pitches you know helps your game you can mix and match a little bit more so yeah I think that's what was working for him today and to get your first big league pit this afternoon at one just the emotions how special it was that it was awesome yeah know um you know going into it I thought I was facing and uh shanee B B I think it was um and then got to the field uh herdle was a lefty so you know I was getting I was getting ready for Shane and then heard that news so it was good you know I settled in for at B um got a walk so that was refreshing right there and you know after that you know settled in and it was good after that there was a lot going on big pregame ceremony how much did it help to see Stone out there and kind of normalize things and see a your face and just get locked in with him yeah was real good just um yeah I've caught him a lot in AAA able a coming up so you know that was a calming thing for sure and you know working with him's awesome you know he pounds his own and we got a good game plan so it was was smooth going through what was your family's reaction I saw them out there very emotional my uh Mom I'm sure know got her on camera she was trying to keep it together the whole game you know girlfriend um I'm sure everyone was emotional but I'm glad they made it and it was awesome day for sure yeah have you decided what you're going to do with the boy I'll probably give it to my dad you know see if he wants to hang it up but um you know once I get a house probably um hang it up on my wall and yeah cherish it forever so congratulations you all so much
