Obviously, you're always going to see a little different, what the behind the scenes look like, and then try to understand what that means.

Okay, I got to ask you one question about Vladdy.

You know, I know you've seen him.

You saw him yesterday.

I know you've been around him a lot last year, and he's kind of going through.

I know you saw him at his best playoffs, World Series, Mad Lab.

Boy, everything he was swinging at was going through the wall or over the wall.

It was something special.

Now it's not so much.

If you had to give him a piece of advice, what would it be?

And as a manager managing superstars, how do you keep a superstar out of a superstar's way?

I hope that made sense.

Well, the first part, I'd have a little tough giving the advice right now when we're getting ready to play him the next two nights.

But I think he knows the way I see it.

think what he should be doing from last year and and how he to me what his his swing or direction should look like uh glad he was kind of like this last year a little bit if you remember i think a lot of people forget because of the end of the year glad he you know he went through the part of the year where he didn't seem like he was getting the ball in the air enough

Uh, and kind of the same type thing where he was getting his hits.

He was hitting for an average, but he really wasn't hitting the ball over the wall yet.

Um, and then he found that and I think he'll find it again.

He's too good.

Uh, his swings too good.
