And you're talking about the one he caught, right?
The line drive in Miami?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we're sitting there and it's me, him and our bullpen coach, Josh Bard.
And they we have this game in the bullpen and it's been explained where it's like we have each have a call and we'll have like a random pick of us and like, you know, show it comes up.
Hey, I'm in, you know, we're basically.
betting that he's gonna 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 why is it there don't you write something on the wall or something yeah yeah yeah yeah because joe was like yeah have the boys go go bring you down there and show like they're not gonna let me in the bullpen in the middle of the game show no go ahead
But, and I remember the whole, it all worked out so perfectly.
It was so, it's so wild where, you know, J-Bone goes in, Jonathan Erb, he goes in and he puts his glove on, right?
And it's so funny because he's left-handed too.
And he got, I remember the bullpen coach goes, hey, if it hits us, if it hits right at my face, I'm not moving.
You got to catch it.
And, you know, we're just like, yeah, yeah, like, right.
And we're just like, well, what if it hits you?
And he's like, well, I get the point.
And like, they're just back and forth.
Right.
And then all of a sudden the ball gets hit.
And it's coming.
And I remember I distinctively grabbed him and I'm like, I go, J-Bo, J-Bo, J-Bo.
