Yeah, and I've learned through.

The thing is now,

Which I agree with to an extent.

When you bring up a young kid from the minor leagues, a lot of these young kids, man, they breeze through the minor leagues, and they never fail.

They hit .345 the whole way.

They do all these things, and then they get to the big leagues, and it's a...

it's hard, you know, it's the highest level.

If you have a weakness, they're going to abuse you and abuse you and abuse you.

And if you haven't been through failure, you kind of hit the brakes and mentally you don't, it's, it's hard.

You know what I mean?

So, um, and, and that's why, like, I'm a firm believer in, if you're going to call a kid up from the big leagues, you got to roll with a man.

You know what I mean?

Like if my career would have been different, if I would have gotten sent down that first month of the year and, um,

I mean, I'm confident in my ability, and I know it would have played out like it did, but

Mentally, that's hard.

That's hard that you breeze through.

Then you hit a roadblock and it's like, oh, go back here and figure it out.

But you can't figure it out there because you've already dominated it.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.
