Pregame 3 Press Conference

Q. Seranthony, how is the preparation different in the playoffs versus regular season knowing that you can be called on in high-leverage moments in the third or fourth inning as opposed to waiting until later in the inning?

SERANTHONY DOMÍNGUEZ: Yes. At the end of the day, you gotta be ready for the game, like every day. You gotta be focused on your job and try to help the team win.

Q. Seranthony, what did you learn from last year that you can apply to -- that all the pitching staff is applying into this year?

SERANTHONY DOMÍNGUEZ: Yeah, I learned a lot because it was my first postseason. And like not only me, a lot of guys, first postseason, and we learned from how to compete in the postseason is way different than the regular season, because every game matter like more than usual, you know.

Because if you start behind, you guys know they're going to make pressure on us, but if you start forward, you make pressure on the other team.

Q. What is it like to when you play, you just came from Atlanta, and now you come to Citizens Bank Park and the passion of our fans. What does it feel like when you're pitching on the mound and you feel the crowd and that passion that they want you to succeed?

SERANTHONY DOMÍNGUEZ: It feels really good, because you feel all the support in the stands. You feel all the Philly family working with you, like pushing the same way.

And it's not a secret we love the fans, and we play for Philadelphia, and we play for the team. And I feel so proud to be a Philly.
