Everything about that situation is you can look at it as being overly aggressive because of what you've dealt with.

because of what's been going on, because you feel like you have to do something, and sometimes you overthink situations.

Listen, when you think about Nico, he got a great jump.

I mean, a great jump.

He had a hop, gone, boom, a great throw behind.

When you look at Williams over at shortstop, these guys are always taught to be on the first base side now, so it gives you a little advantage to put the tag down.

He had a quick tag.

But with all that said,

Unless you're safe, it's a battle.

No, and I've always said manufacturing runs for me.

makes you less of a one-dimensional team.

You know, winning ball teams, and when you get to postseason, we have arguments all the time, whereas, you know what, the three-run home in the first set in the postseason, you know, propels you, you know, to winning games and winning game one of a series.

Yeah, you got to get there first.

We ain't talking about postseason right now.

We're talking about game 50, game 60, game 65.

Can you manufacture, can you put the ball in play when you have guys in scoring position to get them a third, to have less than two outs and a routine fly ball scores a run or a ground ball to second base scores your run.

The strikeout is something that I think don't get enough attention, especially in crucial situations like

You can't strike out.

And when you think about the big boys in this lineup, I think that's the one thing I kind of look at is like, you're good enough, in my opinion, to not strike out in some of these situations because I've seen you be really good.

Now, do you go to trials and tribulations of a season?
