Craig, how are you?

I'm good.

How are you guys?

We're doing well.

We're doing well.

Your baseball team's 7 and 3 in the last 10.

You've made a little bit of ground in the division and obviously leading the wild car chase.

What was the emotion of last week like?

And I don't mean like the Craig Council Wisconsin stuff.

I mean the Cubs and the Brewers and what last week was like?

Well, I think, look, like the reality of it is that they're a really good baseball team. They're the

best team in the big leagues right now,-wise and i think you know going up against

that team that that means that you're going to have a major challenge um and so i think it was fun to

watch our guys uh you know rise up to that challenge and take on that challenge and and succeed in that

challenge so that was probably the biggest thing. It was just good baseball.

It was the first day they beat us pretty good and wasn't a great game.

The last four days were really good baseball.

Craig, something I always know you talk about is you should want to play in high-stakes games, great atmospheres down the stretch.

For you as a manager, has it changed for

you maybe those first couple of years to now in what managing those games going into October,

knowing that the playoffs are on the line, then maybe you felt years later in right now?

No, not a lot. I mean, I think, you know, this is, you know, a fun time of year. It's, it's when, you know, emotions get turned up. There's no question about it. And that, that makes it more fun. Sometimes it makes it, you know, a little tougher on the loss for, you know, the hour or so after the game. But, but it's when you're in it, it's, it's why you want to be in it to have, to feel it and to be a part of the fun stuff and the hard stuff. And I've told our guys that number of times. It's like, you're going to feel the good stuff and you're going to feel the bad stuff just more this time of year. And don't, like, run away from it.
