03:05got a chance to witness history
03:08and you know this game has been
03:10around for a long time and to do

03:14He's one of one and he couldn't

03:20He couldn't be you know be more
03:22humble.
03:23And so we won a ball game.
03:26He had a tremendous night at the
03:27plate.
03:28He accomplished 50 50 and we
03:32clinched a postseason berth.
03:33So across the board it was a
03:36it was a great day.
03:37Now again I can't really explain
03:38it.
03:39I really I really I'm really
03:41just a fan watching it just like
03:43y'all are.
03:43You know I just happen to be have
03:45the closest seat you know.
03:47So all all the feelings and I
03:50don't even know what feelings and
03:51emotions I have is just
03:52unexplainable witnessing history
03:54like what we see is like
03:57expected you know.
03:58And I think it's crazy that he
04:02lives up to those type of
04:03expectations.
04:04But that's also what makes you
04:05speechless.
04:06Everybody's happy and excited and
04:08whatnot.
04:08But we also know we have this is
04:10business business to take care
04:12of.
04:13We'll we'll enjoy tonight.
04:14We've got to get some sleep and
04:16be ready because we still still
04:18got to finish the season.
04:19I've seen a lot of history.
04:21I think I've been in the league
04:21that long.
04:22I've seen a lot of history with
04:23Albert hitting seven hundred
04:26Guano and Yati setting the most
04:29starts together as a battery
04:30record and then you know show
04:32doing 50 50.
04:34Crazy.
04:34Every single one of them has
04:35been special.
04:36Today was was nothing short of
04:38it.
04:38Be able to see what he's done
04:40since I've gotten over here is
04:42special.
04:42And he's a he's an unbelievable
04:45unbelievable dude to go along
04:46with it.
04:46So it's just it's it's fun to
04:48watch every single day.
04:49There's pressure going in to try
04:51to get 50 50.
04:52Everybody knows it and
04:53everybody's here to watch him
04:54and what he's able to do day in
04:56day out with with everybody all
04:57eyes on him to watch him.
04:58This is nothing short of
04:59sensational.
05:00You want to get in postseason
05:01that's just the first step.
05:02We got a lot of work in front of
05:04us.
05:05Got the Rockies coming in and we
05:06got to go take care of business
05:07with them.
05:08And yeah once every time I feel
05:11like after he got the first
05:12homer it was a possibility
05:14because he got like maybe three
05:15more at bats because he got
05:17three at bats in the first two
05:18innings you know.
05:19So after that you feel like at
05:21any point when showing swing the
05:22bodies it can be a homer.
05:24So for me that's the that's when
05:26you start thinking about the
05:27possibility.
05:28I kind of knew it was going to
05:29happen because there's 10 games
05:30we're going to Colorado we're
05:32going to L.A. that he loves
05:33hitting there.
05:33So I'm pretty sure it was a
05:37surprise for everybody that
05:37happens to it.
05:38Yeah after the game it's just
05:39like the message is simple like
05:41I mean we're really happy that
05:43we first of all we don't take
05:45for granted winning series you
05:46know like coming here winning
05:48this series is important for us
05:49knowing that we got nine games
05:51left and we try to win the
05:52division.
05:52But being in October we don't
05:55take that for granted because
05:56it's something that a lot of
05:57people don't get to experience
05:58and show how tiny is the best
06:00player in the game half never
06:01playing in the postseason.
06:02So for for us just to do for him
06:06and us giving that honor that
06:08he's going to play in the
06:08position for the first time I
06:10think is pretty special.
06:11And the message is simple.
06:12We we're not done yet but we
06:15celebrate the little things that
06:16happens during the season
06:17because we never know when it's
06:18going to be the last time you're
06:19going to get the opportunity to
06:20be in October today.
06:22And then we win and we know we
06:25finish the postseason so keep
06:26going.
