And so we can, you know, it's a place that we're going to mix and match with it, essentially.

I...

Yeah, I mean, I do think for a while it was, you know, the league kind of played a north-south game with them and challenging them kind of up with fastballs, up out of the zone, and then, you know, soft, just varying speeds for sure.

I think he has controlled that a little better as of late, and frankly, he just hasn't squared the ball up and hasn't driven the ball very much.

The ball's been on the ground a lot, and you're just not going to slug with the ball on the ground.

So, you know, he went through a whole bunch of different phases in a pretty quick period of time.

I think that's fairly normal for a young player, too.

He's a talented hitter.

He's 22 years old.

He's done some very good things in the league, you know, quickly already.

So there's a good player there.

And sometimes you've got to go through some struggles to get there.

I mean, it helps.

I don't think it can change the whole thing.

I mean, I think we all need a pat on the back or an affirmation or a good result to kind of get us to the next moment or let us fight through tough times, right?

So I think it's important.

But he's going to have to go up and have good at-bats today and moving forward.

So it's always a good thing, but it's never the answer.

Well, yeah, I mean, I think you're always, everything is yes, you know.

We all should be making adjustments.
