And just because we don't agree doesn't mean we can't be great friends and things like that.

We don't want to agree on everything, and that's how you don't get better.

So it's one of these things that

whether it's Eric Neander or Kevin Cash, when they allow everybody to be themselves and then come together as a unit from the clubbies to the cooks to the front office, everybody is on the same page.

I mean, if you want to go to Topgolf, you have all that stuff available there.

It's the same thing, but it gets popular.

But it's what's going to work at 100 miles per hour because that's what everybody's pitching at.

So it's not trying harder.

It's not crashing.

And it's just a reminder these days you have to protect the player just as much as coaching them.

It's slowing down.

It's not chasing those numbers.

It's not reading the metrics and thinking you're improving.

But that's the tough part about being a hitter these days because you always want to try to improve and you don't know which things will make you better or not.

You have to just go through them.

So it's just trial and error, but always being available and making them understand faster is not better.

I'm a lot slower, that's for sure.

Aren't we all?

I would say I'm a lot more humble too.

I think we thought we knew everything back then.
