so suffice it to say muncy play some of his best ball here at oracle park.one tonight was really about pitching and how it did not go. well, alex cobb starting pitcher started off strong, didn't give up any runs in the first 3 innings. but then things kind of start to fall apart. and for tyler rogers in the 6th, that's where the wheels really came off. however, it is still early in the season. so cobb afterwards in the clubhouse said this team isn't getting too depressed just yet. >> not i do want to say. >> no, want to put together for the homestand that. you know. we're trying not ride the roller coaster this still early. i know fans a year in the. we still feel like we can put together a good stretch. we're in. we're striking distance of when you get a good stretch and then we're back where we want to. >> we also spoke to tyler rogers after the game in the clubhouse. you may have seen him during the broadcast angrily throwing his glove away in the dugout after he was pulled from the game, giving up 4 straight walks. that led to that max scoring excuse me,

but as your first time in oracle park, what do you think of the digs? local park is really nice, actually with the one thing that stuck out to me is the fact that as soon as all the people, if the birds came i guess is game night for them as well. their fees thing now on all the leftovers lived in the stands. i thought not maybe one bird during the game and i could not believe that it was such a swarm of them. once we came out here to get ready for this live shot. so that was probably the most notable thing that i noticed tonight, other than the obvious cool winds in miss coming off the water. that, of course, all right behind the ballpark. that's probably what i'll take away from this. but hate a great game to come and be it for my first time here at oracle park. great reporting tonight. era of them burned. they know when it's feeding time now the real season it's finally starting for the golden state warriors. >> yes, they just played 82 regular season games, but when your core has won 4 titles in the last 8 years. this is the part of the season that
