So I thought, again, I say it every time I come on with you guys, I will always defer to Kevin here, but it looked to me like he was thinking a lot in the box.

And, you know, even sometimes his legs looked a little jumpy.

Like in the spring, I thought very calm, very relaxed on everything.

And I just thought he was thinking a lot, guessing, probably guessing wrong.

You know, they're going to come at me with fastball.

because the narrative is, can I handle the velocity in the major leagues?

And then a week into the season, now everybody's spinning breaking balls away, away, away, and he's pulling off the ball.

So now he's got to think about that.

And now here comes the high heat again.

And I think he has been caught in between and thinking a lot in the box.

And I don't blame him one bit.

It's a different game.

And he's getting adjusted to a million different things off the field as well.

I thought he was on time.

on both the balls that he hit.

And quite frankly, I don't think the pitches were exactly where the pitchers wanted them to be.

If I'm remembering, they were both kind of middle or a little in.

He's had trouble with the ball away.

You know, and Joe's talked about it, Kevin, I'm sure you have as well.

You know, opening up, pulling off, that sort of thing.
