I mean... Well, I had just, you know, not to taint anything, but, you know, we're good with it and it's gotten...

I'm at peace with it, but my, we lost my brother November 2nd, 20, uh, 2024.

No, 20.

Hold on.

Yeah.

2022.

So, um, and that, that obviously that was during the off season.

Um, you know, that was the year I spent all year in, uh, AAA Rochester, uh, with the nationals.

And I, uh,

I wasn't throwing hard.

I wasn't getting in any outs, any miss or anything else like that.

I remember telling myself it wasn't as fun as I, you know, as it was before, uh, you know, just from a competitive standpoint, you know, I always loved the game of baseball.

Um, you know, so I essentially just took it upon myself.

It was like, look, I'm, then it's my last year.

Um, that was a lot for me in the sense of like mental, mental grind.

Um,

trying to keep it together, keep a smile on my face every single day and trying to just be a good teammate, good person.

Um, and that was the, that was the year that really kicked my ass.

You know, it was really, really something where I was like, man, I've never been through something like this.

It was really, really hard.
