You'd have to look that up.

They said, hey, first round, nobody's going back-to-back.

You pitch, the next day is off no matter what.

So in that way, they're not treating it like the playoffs.

They're smart about that.

I can't speak for all the other teams, for the other countries.

I think they might be a little more aggressive with that.

But at least for USA, what they don't want, I don't think, is the reputation of...

hey, you sign up to the WBC, we're going to grind you to win that tournament.

I wish they could.

Even as a competitor, we all wanted to pitch more.

Guys want to go back-to-back, but they're like, nope, we told your team you're not going back-to-back.

Maybe in the championship game, we might have one or two guys available for back-to-back, but they're very cautious about using guys...

you know, knowing what time of year it is and that you can't push guys.

So that's right.

That's right.

Happy to do it, man.

Always good to talk.

That's my intro.

It's a good reminder that I need to be more thankful.
