Uh how would you describe your, your approach at the plate and what you'll bring to the red line of every day? Um My person to play, you know, being aggressive on his own, um getting my walks, you know, trying to, you know, create good I BS. That's all about. You gotta be on base to help your team win. So for me, it's, you know, I like to be in *** second, you know, and um for sure, I wanna be able to be in *** great position. Um And on the base to create runs to create runs, we gotta create um We got *** lot of runs here, we could, you know, do some damage and everybody can run here. So I'm, this is *** special room. I'm excited to be part of this group and, you know, go from there, Jer, uh, as, uh, you're partially stepping into some pretty big shoes when you play first base here. Uh, are you concerned about this along those lines? Fill in for the, at least partially for Joey. Um, it's always gonna be pressure, you gotta handle it, you gotta handle it. Always gonna be pressure, um, in the big, especially in the big big league level, you have to handle the pressure. If you don't handle the pressure, you can't, you cannot survive in this game. So for me just putting myself in *** great position, you know, have your routine, have *** uh *** plan and execute it, like I said, um um last year I get trade um in the first game, my first game was in first base and I was, you know, I'm, I'm ready to, I'm ready, I'm ready to help the team win.
