This is This is your fifth career World Series starts.

So you're you're familiar with what comes with this?

You're familiar with what it might feel like.

I just wonder in this, you know, different time.

Just sort of as you prepared for for this moment.

What if anything felt different about it?

Yeah.

It was a great, great game tonight, all the way around for us.

Um, you know, it didn't feel it didn't feel too different other than being not in our home ballpark or being on the road or anything like that.

But, um, you know, like you said, I've got to do this before.

And, um, you know, the last couple haven't gone so well for me, so I'm fortunate toe, get out there in game one and get another chance at it.

And, uh, you know, we pulled out a win tonight and our guys played awesome.

And, um, we're excited.

Come back tomorrow, try to do it again about that.

And there's We've talked about this through the years.

There's no way toe elegantly ask the question.

But I mean, you you pitched as well as anybody in the regular season in the postseason is what it is.

So how do you manage?

Just carrying around whatever that is.

If it's anything to you.

If that occupies any of the space in your head on a day like today, what the chance tonight represented for you personally, you're just a good as your next start, man.

So, um, just try to make, uh, make your pitch is have a good start, and then four days from now, try to make another good start.

And, uh, that's that's all I think about.

I'm not worried about what happened in the past.

I'm not worried about, um, you know, good games, bad games, things like that.

You wash it, you know, I'm gonna celebrate tonight.

And if I had a bad one, I would have been disappointed tonight.

But tomorrow's a new day and, uh, we want to know in the world Siri's, That's pretty special, man.

We'll come back and try to tomorrow right on.

And you guys are very familiar with this.

Last night on this show, I mentioned that there's like, 17 guys in your dugout that that have been through this and there's Charlie Morton on the other side that has If there's a value in in that Clayton being familiar with what this stage is, how do you describe what that would be if it's anything?

Um, yeah.

You know, I think the one thing that experience could do is that no, that you've done it before and that you've had success in that situation.

So, um, you know, for for the guys in that clubhouse, you know what we did in the last series coming back 31 I think we can, you know, from our past experiences know that we can win games in the postseason.

And, um, when you got guys in the clubhouse like J t like Mookie like seeks, like months all the way down the line up, Um, you just have that belief in that confidence and guys.

And so I think that's what postseason experience does.

It just gets you that little extra belief that you can win a game in the postseason and thankful that we got a lot of that in there.

All right, last real quick because we're getting ready to show this highlight.

And when we get to the Cody Bellinger home run, I am I nuts?

Or does it just does it sound different off his bat than any other person?

Bumper?

Um, yeah, it za different sound.

You know.

He's just, uh, he's wiry, strong wire.

He's strong, and he's got some juice.

And, man, he's come up clutch The last two games for us, he's played unbelievable defense.

His shoulders popped out.

It's back in now.

We're good.

And, uh, it's just, uh, just one of the many guys on our team that does some pretty special things on a baseball field.

Tell your guys to leave the boppers shoulder alone.

We need We need the shoulder intact if you're a Dodger fan.

Clayton, Thanks so much for sir.

Congratulations on getting the victory tonight, man.
