That's why I'm kind of bothered by this.

I'm sure many fans are bothered by watching the same thing over and over.

But I think what's going on is if nobody's having success and you're looking for someone to call a team meeting or to be like...

Can we start being some bulldogs out there and fight a little bit more?

I think some of the old veterans, the Bregmans, the guys, the Dansby, the guys who would normally be that guy, I think because they're struggling, they're so in their own head about trying to get out of their own slump is that they kind of don't.

I've been there before.

I've had slumps too, so I understand how this feels where it's just like you don't feel like you can speak up anymore.

Because you're like, you're only hitting 175.

You're not doing your part where you're like, well, no one's like, because you speak up and be like, well, you're not doing good well either.

And you're just like, that's not what a leader is.

A leader, even if you're doing well, if you're doing bad, doesn't matter.

Get the team in there.

Start talking.

You're not wasting a season.

I don't care about your feelings anymore.

And same thing kind of with Craig a little bit where it's just like.

You're watching the same thing too.

Are we going to have a line change?

Why can't we get Conforto?

Why can't we get just a bunch of different hitters in there, give every starter a day off just to be in the cages or just to give them a mental break?
