What can I do differently?
What do I need to keep doing the same, right?
It's just kind of a recalibration.
But I think an easy way or an easy thing to get lost in is you process your preparation.
So because I think when you are prepared and you do what you need to do to get ready for the game,
I think that's what breeds confidence.
I managed your Pat Murphy talked about Reese stepping up.
He was above and beyond today.
I mean, his at bats were incredible all day.
Every bat quality at bat and we had over 20 quality at bats today and
that's the type of team we have to be.
