I mean, how do you feel about being a part of a team that's still sort of coming up together?

They certainly did, yes.

And I think, honestly, that is a big difference from this current White Sox team from years past is that this is a group of guys that does seem to gel well together.

And you saw that in the second half.

You know, they started to hit more.

They started to pitch a little bit better.

Bullpen was still a little bit of an issue.

But I feel like knowing what I know about the White Sox clubhouse, I think you'll mesh well given your personality.

So looking forward to seeing how you vibe in there.

So I'm going to ask you one more question that I didn't discuss with you outside the podcast, and I'll hold this against me, but this is, I think you can answer this well.

In your opinion, why is baseball not boring?

As we saw.

And isn't there like a big stat that says basically, you know, even your best hitter, three out of the 10 times, you're going to get a hit.

Like there's so, so much failure, right?

Well, one, I'd lie to you.

One more question for you.

Yeah, you seem, like you said, very loose, so I always appreciate that.

You mentioned about, you know, pitching, obviously, and making your pitches and doing all the things right.

How do you feel about ABS coming into play in 2026?

That's right, yes.
