The first one, the ground ball, was the one that there's no excuses, and he'll be the first one that tells you that.

The pickoff, they got us there.

He was going to go.

We thought we had a tip there, and they got us with a quick step-off move there.

I wouldn't consider that one a mental mistake because, like I said, he was trying to get some momentum there and being aggressive.

But the first one is the one that can happen.

Did you talk to him about that?

He knows.

He knows.

He was pretty pissed when he came in.

He knows.

Why do you want to be here?

Why do you love space?

Why do you love being a part of history?

Ultra aggressive at times, expanding at times as well with some of the guys.

We just got to get back to what we do well, which is controlling the strike zone, getting good pitches to hit and doing damage.

If he's healthy, we're going to see that a lot.

I think a lot of guys saw 2023.

It's just we got to make sure that he recovers well.

First three innings, a lot of pitches, a few three-ball counts.
