This is smart.

This is a really smart coaching staff.

John's a really smart manager.

This is the second year in a row they have stressed, and I do believe they stress fundamentals in spring training.

Without a doubt.

And it's the second year in a row that they've been –

In May, they've been kind of disappointed with what they've seen from this team.

We know about that last year with base running.

I mean, it's, you know, after having Danny on, I did look at the standings and you just kind of sort of fiddle around with what the wild card may look like at some point.

Yeah, it's, there are a lot of, there's still, the good thing is there's still a lot of opportunity there.

There's still a lot of opportunity out there because other than the Yankees and the Rays, nobody's really seized this thing and run with it.

And I don't even know if you'd say that about the Rays.

The Rays have a good record right now, but the Yankees have kind of been going... They've almost done a wire-to-wire thing so far here.

Like, they've been...

They're playing like a team that knows that they're about to get Garrett Cole back, too.

There's a real sense, I think.

Just watching a couple of Yankees games, hearing some of their commentary, just doing some reading on what's being said around the Yankees, you get the sense that they realize that this is a good opportunity here.

They're pocketing a bunch of wins at a time when a bunch of other teams are just kind of,

Yeah, they really do have it going on right now.

We're going to be joined, hopefully, by Bobby Valentine in a few minutes, former Major League manager.
