  • Like the way he was for you guys to be out there.

  • Then you get a little leading the game gets a little more comfortable.

  • Yeah, When he was rolling like that, we knew all we had to do a score, a couple runs, and he was gonna hold him.

  • And, uh, I know they scored a couple of runs late, but, you know, we were able to hold him off.

  • And no one.

  • Game one.

  • Where do you feel you stand in all time?

  • Mookie's right now.

  • There's Mookie Blaylock.

  • There's you, uh, Mookie From Do the right thing like you feel you're up the top of this point.
