of they weren't brought up that way so their reaction it is what it is Garrett Whitlock can only act like he can act like he's it is he's fine you can get riled up and everything else but I do feel like maybe maybe maybe for all of baseball this can be a good thing and just understanding that you're not going to run out of the dugout for walks like you did you know in in that in that series

But you can understand that you don't have to vet everything through Instagram, your Instagram page or your PR people or worry about what the Joe sitting next to you in the clubhouse is going to think.

Maybe, maybe, maybe we can celebrate this a little bit better, and that ultimately will be another big step forward for baseball.

Do you think that Bryce Harper –

This isn't being negative to Bryce Harper, but do you think Bryce Harper, if he was in the situation with Wilson Gutierrez, standing at first base, up a run in the ninth inning, that he'd be weeping?

No, again, I'm just painting the picture here.

How many times did a pitcher...

for whoever, Puerto Rico or Dominican Republic or Venezuela, strike out Team USA player, right?

And they're looking in, kind of like Chapman does.

But everyone has to understand, that's part of the deal in this.

Competition.

I think they did.

I think they understood that.

I know there was not going to be any bench-clearing.

Yeah, you can be upset, but so be it.

And I think at the end of the day, at the end of it, and you see the manager's hug, I mean, that's another good thing, which is everybody in that tournament understood, like, it wasn't us against them.

It wasn't, you know, our CEO, Joe, sitting in the outfield of the World Series, and then they started playing Yankee baseball again, right?

And good for him for doing it.

But it was different.

That's different.
