They're gone.

Graham crackers and gummy bears.

Yeah, I think the starting pitcher is number one priority.

And if there's rain, usually the manager's telling that starter, hey, there might be rain, hang tight.

And so a lot of these starters, they have very in-depth routines in terms of they get stretched at a certain time, maybe around 6 o'clock.

They might get on the bike at 6.10.

They might have their ointments put on their arm at 6.15.

They might put their uniform on.

And then they have all these very specific routines, almost every one of them.

And so if you're in a delay, you don't want to –

strap it on and get loaded up to then be sitting down.

So it's, they're communicating with that starter more than anyone and they know right away.

And so that's why you have that 30 minute bracket that when the tarp comes off, they really try to get that starter 30 minutes to start doing all of that stuff as a catcher.

I just go when he goes.

And so my routine was always predicated on the 30-minute rule.

I tried to get out there 30 minutes before, and I could get all my stuff done in 15 or 20 minutes on the field, my stretching and all that on field.

And then when he came out to actually throw, then I was ready to go.

So my routine didn't change much.

But the infielders, very much routine-oriented in terms of a lot of those guys had very specific times.

And if you're a rookie and you were in the cage at, you know, 648, when that was a big boy's turn, like, you're going to get thrown out of that cage because they're very regimented.
