There was a big one in the fourth inning when they had put runners on first and second with nobody out.

Nathan Lucas tries to bunt the runners over, ends up on first base.

Anyway, you get the bases loaded.

for Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

There was also an instance in the eighth looking for insurance runs where runners on first and second, nobody out, Vlad hit a single into left field.

It was only 84 miles an hour off the bat, but you know, you got, you worked the count and got something you could kind of inside out.

I know we talked about it, and I don't want to do the Vlad thing every day necessarily, but those were two pretty big spots.

And in both cases, he did the job.

He hit a sack fly in the first case and got a single in the second case.

But I know you thought still didn't look, you know, Vladdy in the box just yet.

Yeah, and Hunter Brown, I mean, Hunter Brown started him with, like, a fastball right down the middle, but then everything else was, like, painted on the edge.

So, like, I can understand it a little bit more there.

There was the one really bad chase in the at-bat that ended in a sack fly.

Yeah, other batter's box.

Yeah.

But, okay, so how much can we build with even if the, like...

You guys are better equipped to – you and Caleb and Joe are better equipped to look at the swing mechanics and stuff like that.

I look at the numbers and, like, it's the chase stuff and, like, the not jumping on stuff in the heart of the plate that still stands out most.

How much – even if the swing isn't where –

it needs to be necessarily, can the fact that, well, he had a couple hits on the weekend.
