We have a lot of relationships.

We know a lot of guys.

And we spend these days, these practice days, workout days, talking to those individuals and try to get a vibe.

Who's doing what?

Right.

I was just over asking how Trey Turner is, how Alec Boehm is feeling, what's the situation at second base.

You kind of know all the hot spots and what their news is, decisions that they're making, and then you just build off of that.

And then we get our time with the players, we get our time with the manager.

So I wouldn't need any of that if I was the brewers.

If I was with the brewers, I wouldn't need that because I know all that stuff.

Well, one of the things you said was vibes.

Am I wrong?

I mean, the vibes are... Yeah, no, that to me, and the analytics crowd may disagree, but I do like to catch a little bit of like...

For a wild card series winning team, you know the vibes are good.

They're going to come in here hot, feeling good.

So for me, a little bit of the story is like, what did the Phillies do during that week?

They sold tickets.

They drew 31,000.

That's an amazing thing to have an actual game in the middle of this downtime.

Now I want to find out, like, did it help or hurt?
