It's not like their AAA team is loaded with quality that the guys just are being kept down because they can't crack the lineup, but they're really good.

And we also didn't see anything pop up like...

That was like a real bonus, a real step forward.

The Guardians, for instance, who nobody ever respects.

Well, they've had two rookies step in, and they're both hitting the ground running.

DeLauder and...

And, you know, which was expected.

He was the number one pick in the draft.

But De Lauder, I don't think any... And both of them are playing great.

And so that really boosts the lineup that everybody thought was a real pea shooter.

Well, nothing like that's happened for the Royals.

But I don't think we saw just cratering from Vinny Pasquantino.

Vinny Pasquantino himself, and I know he puts a lot on himself, he is the single biggest reason they're struggling.

I don't think there's...

I mean, he's supposed to be like OPSing near 800 or something, and he stinks to the point where they just sat him out for a mental breather, I guess, you know, the day off and then with a day off to follow.

That's not that, you know, he's a he's a 155 type guy, you know, games.

So that's probably the biggest single reason.

But I would say it's that they could.

I don't think we estimated that.

or estimated that if they didn't play at what we thought each level could, that they still would win a reasonable amount of games, and 20 and 30 is not a reasonable amount of games.
