It wasn't, like, you know, if I recall correctly, I don't think, like, platoon splits were very good, but AC was really adamant about, let's play the kid.
Let's give him some exposure here in this, in the playoffs, this big moment.
He'll be better for it in the long run.
He ended up, obviously, being a key piece for us.
That's crazy.
This isn't, like, this rollout.
Yeah, and at this time of the year, you know, like...
Obviously, we know what the percentage plays are, what makes the most sense, but it's also you do want to factor in some level of gut feel and how the guy's doing and can he handle the moment or not.
Those are some subjective elements that do have to be considered given what's at stake.
it's just like it happens organically you know it's a good focus and like all of a sudden like um you know for the clubs that are lucky enough to get into the playoffs you know this is kind of like you bear down on kind of what's most important and you don't want to leave any of your secondary responsibilities you're obviously maintaining those but you know hopefully by the time that one o'clock comes around you've kind of gotten those out of the way so that you can focus on these things you go back to your notes like hey i want to make sure to touch on these things uh later in the day and you know we're lucky we have a very unified group here and um you know during this regular season either one or two of us you know make the trips
But now, I think we all make the trips together, and it's fun.
It's a lot of banner that goes on, good, bad, nervous, excited.
And it's funny because, fortunately, I've been here for a couple of championship runs.
The things you kind of remember from our end are those celebrations, the conversations that we have in-game.
Since we're not on the field, those are the things that we kind of reflect on.
So, yeah, hopefully we have some more of those this year.
What was your first clubhouse celebration?
That was in 07.
The Royce Clayton celebration.
Oh, well, I don't remember that.
