And that's an area where we've got to get better.

Tony?

Just two follow-ups on what's already been asked.

One, why is Carlos Mendoza the right person going forward?

I believe Carlos has all the same traits and assets that I believed in when we hired him two years ago.

And I think over the course of his tenure here, he has demonstrated that.

We had a tough year this year.

There's no question.

We are all disappointed.

We are all frustrated.

Mendy as much or more than anyone else.

But I still believe he's a very good manager.

I think he's going to demonstrate that.

And two, just regarding the trade deadline, I mean, looking back, to what extent do you regret not acquiring a starting pitcher, even if that might have meant giving up a prospect that you clearly didn't want to give up?

So I think holistically, as I look at our pitching staff, we needed to do more over the course of the season.

That is very clear.

What we were faced at at the deadline –

Yeah, I think our fan base would actually be perhaps even more upset if we had made some of those moves.

But the entirety of our run prevention unit was not good enough this year.

Hey, David, going forward, what do you see as the most fixable thing for this club?
