World Series: Brewers pitcher Aaron Ashby speaks after Game 2

He's done that pretty much all year. He's thrown a lot of pitches in the dirt to that guy over the past three and a half years, and he's blocked almost all of them. In those moments, he locks it up. That's kind of expected, but certainly grateful for it. What moments are you going to see a prayer guy or you're going to take a breath guy? What are you? A lot of breathing. just kind of you know you know praying for peace I guess this is kind of like calm feeling that I've felt like I've had for for a while now and just kind of continue with that and and trust and trust in what's going on and wasn't me to be up to old yeah that you know it's been a great feeling the last one the last three times we've done it so doesn't feel any different now feels you know, like Big Wood just feels nice to be out too. So we still got to go in there and take care of business. This is an incredible lineup, an incredible team that we're facing across the way over there, and I'm sure they're going to bring it game three. Does it feel any different when you're pitching with a time run? Can you feel the closeness of these games? Yeah, I feel like all the games have been generally pretty close up to this point. It doesn't necessarily change the way that I'm executing pitches or trying to pitch these guys. It really just kind of stays the same, swing and miss or weak contact. Preferably swing and miss, so just trying to keep that going. After the eighth, was that a check-in with Murph to see if you had the ninth? Did you know what the plan was going into the dugout there? I just assumed. I knew they had a lefty coming up from Mesa, and they asked if I was good. I told them I was good to go. So I don't know that it's much of a question. Either way, I felt good to go, and we got McGill behind me if I get into some trouble. So certainly incredible plan B. You've talked about learning to not make too much of these postseason moments, not get caught up in them. How did you kind of teach yourself that? Failing probably quite a few times in the past couple postseasons, Trying to grip it too tight and make too much happen, be too good, throw too hard, any number of things that you can do in big situations when there's a lot of adrenaline, so trying something new I guess.
