Cause we know you can win in a lot of different ways.

We talked a lot of like, you gotta, how are you betting on the talented guys in the group?

knowing that a lot of them have been there before and the guys who haven't have really good makeup and love to compete.

Like, Rookie had never pitched in the playoffs before.

This guy's pitched on big stages, and I know it hasn't been in the big leagues in the playoffs, but he's pitched really big games.

We will bet on him being able to handle the ninth inning in a playoff game because our bet is, like, pitching in the WBC from having the country, the entire country.

It's like,

you know, somewhat equivalent to that.

And he was unbelievable, right?

So he's, like, unfazed by those.

So I think it's a lot of those conversations of, like, these guys are talented.

Let's put them in good spots.

Yeah, Starr for sure.

He looks great.

Velocity's really good in bullpens.

He's feeling awesome physically.

You know, continuing to work on, you know, the cutter and two seam and like rounding out what's already, you know, if he just went fastball split and he could dominate and as he rounds out the arsenal, it's going to be really challenging for teams as he gets through the, you know, third time in the order.

We're super excited about Rookie.

I think there's an underappreciation of how hard it is to make the jump.

Never mind baseball.
