But for the Pirates, their pitching is hit early.

And for the Cardinals, their position players have hit early.

Like J.J.

Weatherholt coming up, you know, two years before he's drafted.

He's young.

Jordan Walker, like, remember, he's just, what, 24, 25 years old.

He feels like he's been in the big leagues for 10 years.

But he's still young relative to big league standards.

So...

I think you have to give credit to the Pirates and the Cardinals for identifying talent early on in their drafts, capitalizing on them, developing that talent, and getting them ready for big league action early.

So, yes, I think it's happened quicker than most have expected for the Pirates pitching and the Cardinals sitting.

I would agree with you, Layla.

Yeah, I mean, I think Moyes' bias, Harris, right now factors into the DH role.

You're getting to the point where Moyes has said you're going to play him against righties and against lefties because he's one of your, what, top three, top four hitters.

He's going to hit really against anybody.

And it was interesting.

During the last home stand, I saw Moyes as we were down at locker room media availability, and he was looking at an iPad, and he was looking at his video from down in Iowa.

He wasn't looking at his last couple at-bats against the big leagues.

He was looking at Iowa stuff from 2025 and 2024.

So I asked him why.
