Jeff Blair

You're throwing him in the deep end.

That's at least for me anyway.

I mean, he's 29, Jeff.

He ain't 18 or 19 or 20 or 21.

Get over it.

Act like you've been five from 34 before.

Like, I don't know if he has or not.

I didn't follow him enough in Japan, but...

It's the big boy league, man.

And, you know, the first thing you do is you go to the club.

You say, I want the big boy pants.

And then you go get what you're hitting, coach, and you say, what are you seeing?

I know what I'm feeling.

I'm going to tell you that part of it.

Tell me what you're seeing, and let's simplify this thing as much as possible.

And let's try and not carry over a negative to my next at-bat.

That's kind of what you're seeing, right?

Once you see one at-bat look the way it's not supposed to be looking, then it kind of carries over, and it's a trickle-down effect.

like it's just sort of that merry-go-round, here we go again, uh-oh, I didn't get a hit in my first at bat, maybe I punched out, maybe I got a good pitch to hit, popped out, and it just seems like now you're seeing shoulders are down when he runs to first, and you just, optically, you can start to see it a little bit, so I'm just not sure DH named all the time, and it is awfully early in the season to give up on it, you're basically, if you did that now, I think you're,

Oh, you would be.
