Anthony Rizzo

That's kind of like your mentality when you're young.

And I was saying with our bullpen, we had guys in different stages of our careers where you had the stable end guys, you know, Stropy and these guys that had been there.

Grim had been with the team for a while, but then you had C.J.

Edwards, me.

I know Rob Z had kind of been up and down a little bit with us.

So we're like new guys on the block, and we're kind of trying to find our way.

And with Joe, it was like you were saying, Joe, would you have a good outing?

You're probably going to get called up the next day, right?

So you know if you do well, you're back in there the next day.

And that was just what I remember.

So you guys had such, when I first got there, a diverse team.

personality group and it was almost like a larger than life person, you know, group that I just was kind of, let me just go, let me just see what's happening here.

I don't want to come in and start throwing, you know.

But I mean, you and Lester and Lackey, it's like, okay.

I don't want to be, you know, talking, let's just listen a little bit and see where everyone's at.

Right.

And Gregor, you were here in some tough times and I've, I've got to hear the stories of coming in and, and, uh, winning pretty quickly.

Like what,

changed in your vision when you look back?

Like we sucked and then going into like, oh, this we're the we're the dudes.
