What what this day was like for you?
Just another day. I mean,
it was just a great day to contribute.
You know you have to go Grey organization.
You know, playing for a
title and a division title,
and I think you know this is what you're
going to see against these two book club.
The rest of the the reminder
again that we got against them.
You know, great ball going great ball game.
I mean great pitching from both side.
And you know, I'm just glad that we.
Come up, you know today with
you know you all about the team and
the victories and increasing the lead,
but you just hit 835 feet worth
of home runs as a 42 year old.
I I think I I have my many
many other in my career.
I don't think like that.
I'm just glad you know that I
was able to contribute tonight
and help this book club Wang and
mild data and unbelievable job.
You know, throwing a strong innings
out there to keep us and the gang,
and you know,
it's it's pretty awesome.
2nd at that
you saw him the night before, take me through
it. Well, that's not my first time
I facing and I'm facing last night.
Obviously it just go back
and forth like that.
I face him before where it has he says too.
So just one of those things that
you look for a good pitch to hit.
And in that situation and try to put a
good swing and hopefully for the best.
And that's what happened.
Static reaction on that second home run what?
What are you trying to communicate
or the emotions?
Are you trying to show to?
There's nothing coming to
communicate to anybody.
This is just part of the game.
This is part again Q series you
you know you're going to see
that from a lot of our guy.
The CD that you know it's
just part of the game.
You know it's a.
It's a fun series funds for the fans and
whenever you get a cushy like that, you
know I mean just whatever comes out of you.
This is not something that you plan
on and say I'm going to do this.
It's just something that
you're really insecure.
Secures our bad, you know.
Cute situation right there.
They see, you know,
give us that league and then I came
up and hit that three run run.
Obviously to give a little bit more cushion.
But then at the end of the day it's
it's whatever comes out and that's it.
I don't try to communicate
anything to the team.
Thank you Bill on fire.
Since the All-Star break,
did anything happen around that time?
I don't know.
You tell me my,
my don't know.
I think I'm reporting good swings
all year long and just something
you gonna get some breaks
and all the time don't.
So I feel like that's how it is all about.
You did what you did in the place said,
but maybe Tyler Dylan doesn't hit their
home or you spoke up in the hitters
meeting and tell hitters what to watch
for and that's how you lead by example.
You lead guys help help guys.
Is that something you take pride? So
I think at the end of the day,
what I love about these guys,
these young group of guys,
you know they're not only had the
talent and the ability to go out
there and perform their respect,
they they want to learn.
They want to get better.
They care about their organization.
I mean, I think you know whatever
we are securing the meaning.
That's why we trust and go out there,
whether it's myself.
No langadi poli, whoever you know,
we have more experience than
some of these young guys here,
and I think it'd be a change if
they don't take advantage of.
Some of us can give you know
whether it's in the heating,
meaning whether it's in the dog out,
and that's what I love.
I think is, you know,
I'm having a great time just like
I did last year with the dryer.
A lot of young players,
you know that I was able to mentor,
sort of here and not mingjing every single.
Again, you said this 100 times this year.
You were all about winning
a world championship.
That's all you care about,
but it's 700 now at all in the
back of your mind you ever think
about it, it is in the back of
my mind because I don't think.
But it's always behind.
That is, it is behind me, so I don't.
I don't want to tell you the truth
if it happened happens, I think.
I'm blessed with a career that I have
and if a guy has that in store for for my
career then I'll be totally more blessed.
But if it doesn't happen,
I think anybody around can agree
with me as being an amazing career.
Amazing run. So I don't.
I don't think about it to tell you
what I think about it is anytime
I'm out there in the lineup,
just try to do the best that I can
to help this buckle up to win.
And whenever I don't just try to
be the best cheerleader you know
and be ready to try.
I'm having been said, you know,
if my name is Cole and and that's it,
that's my main focus.
I didn't thought about it 102 hundred
305 hundred 400, whatever it is.
I just go out there and play
and whatever happens happens.
I think after by this time next year
I'm gonna be thinking about what
I have accomplished in this game.
But for me and I'm being honest,
and I think you covered me a long time ago,
I don't.
I just don't think about it because I'm
still an active player and you know,
I don't want to take that for granted.
I don't.
I'm just blessed,
you know,
with the talent that I have and
I just put a little extra work
extra and and just try to execute,
you know,
and how fun.
