But when I'm a manager or when I'm a general manager of a team, dog, I'm, I'm putting it all out there.

Like I don't have, I don't have a tight grip on this, on like a job.

I don't have, I want to be what I need to be in that moment for my players.

And I'm going to push all in to what I think.

And at the end of the day, I'm going to sit on the podium.

I'm either going to have a ring on my finger or I'm going to deal with the criticism.

And I think John Schneider's slowly growing into that more than he was as a younger manager.

I mean, they probably don't even... They probably don't truly think about it.

Like, I think about it in my head.

In 2014, I was on the Royals.

And it was like, we went in and faced Mike Trout's Angels.

Bang.

Swept them right out.

Three games.

Then the Orioles with...

J.J.

Hardy, Delman Young, I guess Chris Davis was out at that point, but, like, Matt Wieters.

Like, that was, like, each time we weren't supposed to be the team to win.

And we win two games in Baltimore, and we come home, and it was like, I remember thinking, we have to win game three.

We have to win this game.
