We're kind of exactly where we were last year.

We had a really good season last year.

We're kind of exactly where we were at the same point.

It just feels different.

You know, last year,

we were sort of a metronome, you know, we, we never, I think we had a five game winning streak in early April last year and never won five in a row again, the rest of the year.

And it was like, it was frustrating.

Like, why can't we go, go on a win streak?

But we didn't get swept until mid August.

And then I don't think we lost four in a row until late September.

So that's sort of one side of the coin, which is incredible consistency with no ups or downs.

And then this year it's been, you know, we went 20 out of 23 and,

which was incredible and a lot of fun for a lot of people.

And then now, obviously, we've lost 9 of 11.

And so it's like we're in the same place.

It just feels very different because the downs are always really painful.

So we're in a good place.

We have a lot of good players, and it's a really long season.

So the shape of the season has been interesting.

Not one I've experienced.
