01:19more games to get there for the
01:21regular season.
01:22So we're excited right now
01:25obviously and we're excited to
01:26start.
01:27Oh it's great.
01:28I mean the start to the season
01:29wasn't what we wanted but we
01:30knew how good of a team we are.
01:31How many great players we had
01:33around us.
01:33So I mean it's just a matter of
01:34time.
01:35So we started clicking and you
01:36know turn things around and it
01:38ended up being a great season
01:38for us.
01:39No it was obviously we got off
01:41to a tough start but everyone
01:42just kept working kept their
01:43head down and stayed focused.
01:45And I'm very proud of this
01:47group group of guys that know
01:48how to win games.
01:50It's in the culture and it's
01:51been a it's been a fun year
01:52honestly.
01:53It's kind of like this team that
01:54tough the tough times kind of
01:56make you obviously it's a game
01:57of failure.
01:58So you've got to show up every
01:59day and work at it.
02:01And I love this ballclub and
02:03we've done a really good job
02:04competing.
02:05I'm proud of the group and got
02:06to keep going.
02:06I don't know it's very different
02:07for me personally.
02:08Obviously not having as big of
02:11an impact on the field.
02:13Just seeing the maturity of
02:15these young guys to step up and
02:17obviously I think every Astros
02:18fan has seen over the years when
02:20something happens and somebody
02:22needs to step up.
02:23It's like somebody fills in
02:24right away and it's exceptional.
02:25I honestly am just truly happy
02:27to watch him go on to perform.
02:29Get to know who I am.
02:36Yeah it feels good obviously
02:37getting the opportunity to be
02:38able to have a chance to be able
02:40to do it.
02:40Also feels good that you're the
02:41one that gets it done.
02:43And yeah being able to get it
02:44done in that right moment
02:45definitely feels great success
02:47and greatness doesn't come easy.
02:48You're going to have to battle
02:49and fight for the things that
02:50you want for greatness success
02:52and it's going to feel that much
02:53better once you get there.
02:54A lot of sleepless nights
02:55rollercoaster ride for sure.
02:57Lot of ups and downs.
02:58down early. We kind of leveled out when we started to play well and then we put
03:02things together and look at us now. We're right there back in the division winners.
03:07Yeah I've been in baseball for 35 years and I know what a bad team looks like
03:11and I knew that this was a good team and I felt really good about the team, the
03:14makeup. I felt good about the choice and the manager and Joe Espada and I felt
03:18like it was just a matter of time before we got things going and when we got
03:21things going we took off.
