It was a lot of years before they won a world championship, and they had Smoltz, Glavin, Maddox in their rotation, and they had Andrew Jones in center and Chipper Jones and a lot of other good players, and they just kept going in, and they finally won it.

And then they played better that particular year, and I think that's what we need to do is to continue to strive to get a little bit better.

Oh, we love to bring Kyle Schwarber back.

It's a priority for us.

He knows it.

But I also know he's a free agent, so that's what ends up happening when guys have free agency.

You never know what happens.

But, oh, it's a real priority for us to try to bring him back, and he knows it and his representative knows it, but we'll see what happens.

Okay, Crystal on the left.

Well, that's a hard question.

And when I say hard, not that they're not an easy question.

It's a difficult question to answer because the reality of it is we have a lot of solid players in our lineup.

There was not a gaping hole.

Now, Bader got hurt at the worst time he possibly could, right, for us.

If he wouldn't have got hurt, would it have changed the series?

I don't know.

I wish we would have had a chance to try.

That 4-3 game would have been different.

We had speed on the base pass.

We wouldn't have to pinch run.
