You guys have done so many renovations, and obviously this has been ongoing, the renovations, the pre-planning, the building, the kind of staggering over a couple of years.

Was that always the vision from the start, or is it something you've adjusted with on the fly?

Or do you still have more stuff?

What else can you do down at that place?

Exactly.

With Mark Shapiro, now, I don't know if you worry about the future of baseball in terms of the upcoming CBA expiration.

And that's been well documented that there may be a battle between the owners and the players, and maybe both sides are starting to dig in.

How has that uncertainty in the future affected the way you're doing your business on a daily basis moving forward?

Well, and obviously, you know, you guys got games tonight, and you got games throughout the week, but we're big litmus test guys on this show, and I'm sure this is not a surprise to you.

When the Dodgers roll through town, we're probably going to highlight that series a little bit more than the Rockies rolling through town, with all due respect to Colorado.

A little bit more.

Do you allow yourself to do that?

I get it's a long season, but what do you expect the energy of your group to be?

How do you expect to approach that three-game series compared to maybe every other one the rest of the year?

Well, there was, I guess, a story circulating down at the park today that Steve Kerr had left John Schneider a note after the World Series and kind of admired the way he was managing and dealing with the platform and the spotlight.

Anyone reach out to you, Mark?

Any letters hanging around down at the park that we should be aware of or what?

That was seamless.

That was actually brilliant.

Yeah, as you should.
