And these are all good teams.

So not surprising.

I just think we needed to do a better job of capitalizing.

Well, I think the way that our roster is constructed, we have our

quote unquote big money guys are the leaders of the team and they are the like kind of the foundational pieces of like why we're a tight knit group.

Our clubhouse is very,

very intertwined, like not clicky at all.

I've been in clubhouses that are clicky and it's not a great recipe to win baseball games.

Yeah, we do everything together, off nights even when everybody's trying to stay away from baseball, we're all going out and getting dinner together.

The teams like this one are the ones where you don't really want the season to end because these are the guys that you've literally spent all your time with for the duration of the season.

Yeah, I mean, a lot of guys on this team that I'll keep in touch with for the rest of my life, no matter what goes on from this point on.

And I attribute that all to the way Ross and Mark and everybody kind of built this team.

They built it with high character guys and

Also guys that love to win and want to win and kind of have those chips on their shoulders and want to get over that hump.

I think it factors in when your backs are up against the wall.

And there's only one way out and that's to start throwing punches.

And I think that's exactly the type of group that we have in the clubhouse.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the way that we respond.

Yeah, I just think we all enjoy being around each other so much, not only from a baseball standpoint, but from a human standpoint as well.

We have a lot of really good people when it comes down to it.
