Different teams are doing more outlandish things as they get, and the paranoia is real too.

So I think, no, I don't have much take on it other than,

We don't pay a ton of attention to it because it's a distraction either way, whether it's something that you're doing, then obviously got to clean up your tipping.

If it's not, then it's wasteful energy to worry about it.

Yeah, we're operating more that it's gonna be all hands on deck for both sides.

I think we're waiting to get the announcement and see who's gonna be first for them.

And that guy, I've been in these games where that guy's lasted six, seven, eight innings.

I've been in games where that guy's pulled in the first.

So there's no assumption past the first guy that they list on what their plan is gonna be.

But we'll find out at some point, hopefully tonight, who it's gonna be.

We won't really be surprised, I don't think, given that we've played these guys for four games and we know they have a couple of options.

Or they could open, they could do a bullpen game, they can start Munoz, who knows what they're gonna do.

But they'll let us know and we'll set our order accordingly.

Go to Ryan.

Sometimes I think it feels better to see him and know and that doesn't make it easier to hit really any of these guys.

I mean, it's funny I hear that a lot from people third time through is one obviously is something that statistically, I think everybody it's hard to deny everybody believes that in a reliever standpoint.

And sometimes I guess it helps you a little bit to see where the breaking ball is or where the fastball has to start, maybe a unique delivery and things like that.

But then you get in the box and it doesn't seem easier.

It just seems more familiar.

And more familiarity can also bring some negative things too.
