And, you know, regardless, it may have been a coincidence or something, but like, you know, to me, that's something that stuck out the most.

The secondly thing that stuck out the most was, um,

I saw one of our trainers down there, Jonathan Erd.

Another friend of the program.

i remember seeing him a little down and i said hey cheer up man we're gonna win this ball game and he's like yeah you're right you're right and we and sure enough will uh the miggy hits it then will hits it and then he i remember him um after the when we're celebrating he was like thank you for that thank you for that and i was like dude you did it to me and i i gotta make sure i gotta i gotta do it back like we gotta keep each other up we gotta you know and

But the thing is, he's one of the most exciting, high-energy-driven person in our bullpen.

In the sense of cheering, being there, being in the moment.

He's all about it.

He loves the game, dude.

He loves it.

He generally just makes me smile in the sense because I watch somebody just

genuinely just enjoy the game that is a part of us you know and he's you know he's amazing well i told him he's a meme like off of the otani third run yeah yeah which by the way him and kopec both like said they actually predicted it like the day before or something i don't know well we the funny thing is that we were actually talking about so uh it was in miami and we're set we're sitting there and you're talking about the one he caught right yeah the line drive yeah yeah okay

So we're sitting there, and it's me, him, and our bullpen coach, Josh Bard.

And we have this game in the bullpen, and it's been explained where it's like we each have a call.

we'll have like a random pick of us and like, you know, Shohei comes up, Hey, I'm in, you know, we're basically betting that he's going to, you know, hit a home run.

And if we get, if we, if he hits a home run, we get a little, like a little tally in it.

There's no reward or anything.

It's just more of like bragging rights at the end of the year, whoever wins it all.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, go ahead.
