Yeah, I mean, I think I did a good job of keeping baseball baseball, you know,
and trying to compete and give our team a chance to win.
I mean, I think you kind of saw the emotions early.
But yeah, I mean, I feel like I did a good job of keeping the game baseball,
but obviously this place is special to me.
No, I said I wasn't going to be, but I don't, I'm coming to figure out.
I don't really know myself that well.
So yeah, you know, it didn't catch me by surprise.
The timing did at least told me 27 and ended up being 37.
So it was really close to first pitch which or like 35 for whatever it was.
They told me 27.
So I kind of figured it'd be around anthem time.
So the timing kind of threw me for a loop a little bit, but I think the emotions
would have been the same, you know, regardless of the time, but you know,
I didn't I don't know what to expect man.
I don't try to predict much, you know, I try to be pretty present with how I live
my life.
I haven't really thought about it too much, you know, obviously getting traded,
you know, I'm trying to throw myself into the, you know, being an LA Dodger,
you know, and get to know this team and get to know the staff and get to know
everything and
you know, get settled in with everybody here, you know, and go out and compete
and try to win as many baseball games as I can here.
So there hasn't been a ton of thinking back to my time in Detroit.
