No, I like the answer.

I'm running out of ways to ask it.

You know, here's what I need from John Snyder when it comes to Vladdy.

And I mean that respectfully.

I don't mean to sound like an ass.

I want consistency.

You're not going to bury Vladdy.

I don't want you to bury Vladdy.

You don't have to bury Vladdy.

And one of the things I really do admire about John, and I went back and looked a little bit because I'm saying, okay, the messaging, the public messaging around Vladdy, how much has it changed?

He's been real.

And that's good.

That's what I want from my manager.

is I want that consistent messaging.

I don't want you to say or do anything that is going to add more drama to the situation.

And I talked about this a little bit

We were having a discussion about John and sort of how he's emerged as a manager.

And I said, one of the things I liked about John is you'll look at the things he's gone through in his managing career here.

You know, the way that series ended against Seattle.

You know, the stuff with Barrios in Minnesota.
