Our coaches are fantastic at

having these, you know, superstar type players, but it's still challenging them to focus on the little things like,

you know, there's, there's value in the margins there.

So I think a lot of that, when you, when you have the right person who's ready to work and wants to win, you can, you know, even the best players, there's a little more in there that you can get out of it.

Yeah, I think for us personally, which is really what we care about and focus on, going into the offseason, it was, hey, we run this team back

We think this is a championship caliber team.

There's going to be a couple of needle movers available.

Not sure how much we're going to be able to access them, whether that's via trade or free agency, but we feel really good.

We had a lot of great performances out of a team that won the World Series.

We also had guys that performed below their career average.

If those guys just have a normal bounce back year, you're like, oh my God, this lineup is...

unbelievable again and then you have some of the younger guys take a step forward so there was a lot of um you know we talked a lot about it in the offense in the office of like okay this is like we have to be patient you get antsy uh you want to do stuff you want like last year was bananas like the last two off seasons have been crazy this year was much more like okay let's let's be patient let's be prudent let's see how things play out because the team

as it is, is excellent.

We have guys coming back.

You have a full year of show.

You have, you know, River Ryan, Gavin Stone coming back, a full year of Sheehan.

You have like Rokey who's now got his, you know, his feet wet and understands how to navigate a major league game.

So there's a lot of guys coming back, but just as is really good.

So it's like, let's be patient and,

Be mindful of where it is that's really going to be impactful and not just make a move because we feel like, oh, this is a good player.
