Greg Giannotti

That statement, 100%.

Yeah, of course.

I mean, this is why, if you're a general manager or you're a coach, you've got to really be careful what you say.

And I know it's easy for me to sit here and say that, sitting behind a microphone every single day, reacting to what I'm seeing and what I'm hearing.

but when you're a head coach or a general manager and you're trying to give reasons why just tell the truth just just say look man you know we don't want to we don't want to pay him five years yeah it had nothing to do with run I don't want to hear about run prevention because run prevention is basically what you're trying to improve you haven't done that yet I mean even in right field with Carson Bench you know in extra innings I guess it was against the Pirates was it or whoever it was early on in the season this plays the ball in right field game over yeah I

I mean, so thank God that we have at least run preventions at the top of the list of what we're trying to improve here.

Yes, I do think, though, that that should get better.

The thing I'm more concerned about from yesterday is it's another bad David Peterson start.

Now, if you go back to...

The end of last year, August 2025, his ERA was 6.68.

September 2025, his ERA was 9.72.

And now he's come out here in 2026 with two awful starts to start the year.

Well, he's had one good start and two bad starts.

If he...

If this keeps going this way, they'll bring Minaya out and let Minaya start and put him in the bullpen and get himself straightened out.

Yeah, mop up Minaya is what they call him these days.

Yeah, so I will say one thing.

They lose the game 7-2, but only two pitchers are used.

There was no high leverage situations that were going to be needed, and guys got rest in the bullpen.

So there's always a silver lining to stuff like this.
