Bradfo

That's probably the most satisfying win I've been a part of in WBC.

You know, the USA versus Venezuela one where we came back with the Trey Turner home run in 23.

I mean, that was incredible.

And that was euphoric.

But that was sort of like emblematic of...

you know emblematic of like we're losing we could get eliminated here and then we kind of snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in that kind of way which is always thrilling this one was just like man like look at this group of guys look around we went four and oh in this pool and we blew out mexico in front of their fans like it was a it was just a really dominating win i couldn't believe cervelli's only 40 years old it's not a knock on him but i don't know like i think he's doing a good i mean for your perspective like what's your take on cervelli as a manager

He's perfect for this event.

He's played in it a few times.

He lives in Italy part time.

His connection is super legit.

He attacks it with intensity.

He came up in the old Yankee way.

He expects to win.

And I think in this type of tournament, you don't want to get too analytical, to be honest with you.

You're riding hot hands.

It's a small sample.

You just try to do whatever you can to win every game and kind of constantly reassess as you go.

And he's had a steady heartbeat.

You know, he brings that Italian culture, of course, to the locker room.

You know, we gel really fast with this group of guys.
