You know, Vladdy has basically been outside of Ernie Clement, really the only guy that that's given you at least some resistance.

So.

I think from a locker room standpoint, it's like, let's go.

No one's expecting us to come in here and win, so why not?

You know, kind of Lou Brown, let's give him a you-know-what to kind of chew on, and let's go from there.

So kind of back to, I know we've talked about this last year, guys.

We talked about it earlier this year.

Doesn't it feel like you're watching the same season from just a year ago?

Like this kind of stutter out of the box and the injury issues notwithstanding.

And then all of a sudden you get to the break and it's like, okay, we figured some things out.

You hit a crescendo in the second half and go.

I still think there's a lot in the tank there, even though the cast of characters looks different than 2025.

It harkens me back to major league two and Vaughn lost his fastball.

You know, we're like, you got to get the skull and crossbones and the glasses and just get him back into that.

The real kill chickens.

Yeah.

Get the, get the dog back in a man a little bit.

Um,

There is something about the confidence.

And when you mentally get knocked down multiple times, I think that's the hard part for me, just knowing that you worked so hard to get to that ninth inning.
