So I would say, what is your take on that?

I know you've had to answer this question a lot, but what's your take on benching guys?

What's your take on the perception that you run a clubhouse, that all that stuff is allowed?

No, I was just saying, I was using it to say accountability.

It's always accountability and analytics.

Those are the two things.

Yeah, and the base running stuff is... That's the thing casual fans can... They don't want to hear about the advanced stats and they don't want to hear about a guy getting thrown out at second base and then the manager saying, you know, well, there's a reason for that because we, in our pregame, we had discussed that there was an advantage and I want to be aggressive.

Like, that's the kind of thing fans push back on.

How many strikes there were.

You know what?

It's been in all seriousness.

I had questions for him, and I don't always agree with everything he did.

I had some questions.

I say this all the time.

It's become players win, Boone loses.

It's just no matter what happens.

He brings in a reliever, gives up a home run.

Why would you bring in that guy?

He brings in a reliever who gets out of a jam with four strikeouts and an inning and two-thirds.

It's like, well, where else was he going to go?
