I want to look...

And you can get a little bit lax in your approach.

And that's what I've seen is this is a high chase team with not a lot of barrel.

And that's not good.

When they were high chase, high barrel, you could sort of hang with that.

But what you really want is just high barrels.

And so getting back to focusing on hitting the ball hard.

I think is the best scenario.

And one guy that's hitting the ball hard just about every time is Okamoto.

And he's taken pitches on the outer half.

He's very disciplined in his approach.

And these guys are really good in the big leagues, but they're not good enough to just paint like video games.

They will miss over the middle of the plate.

And if you're looking one way or the other, and you're disciplined enough to not swing at a pitch you're not looking for, and you put that good swing on it, you're going to hit the barrel with the talent they have.

Hitting the barrel shouldn't be good enough.

Yeah, but they had him on the ropes.

They had him on the ropes, Jeff.

And, you know, that's when you've got to bury these guys.

And, I mean, how many times have we said it or seen it when you get a really, really good guy that shows a little bit of weakness that you draw a little bit of blood from a jab, you've got to go for the knockout punch.

And you go for the knockout punch by boxing him in.
