Well, if that's the case, I love it, actually.

I don't want to be one of those normal, considered old-school kind of baseball people.

It's just the fact that we're willing to try new things, and a lot of it has to do with just data and information.

Although Penguins in the Clubhouse, I understand, is a little bit different.

The different theme trips are different.

But when it comes down to the everyday operation, we're probably as old school as it gets when it comes to playing a game of baseball.

Oh, my God.

Where do you begin?

There's something really, the one thing that jumps out is that you can't make the first or third out of third base, as an example.

And from my perspective, I want our guys to get to third base.

with less than two outs as often as possible.

One of the other things, just like hitting leadoff hitters, power hitters in the leadoff spot, the number two hole for me is no longer a traditional spot in the batting order.

I really pay attention to reverse splits.

In other words, righty gets a lefty out better.

and a lefty gets a righty out better and not be afraid to utilize that in game strategy.

You just don't necessarily go by the way they've been drawn up way back in the day.

There's a lot more information if you really pay attention.

There's a lot of anomaly moments in the game, and just don't run away from them.

You have to have the courage with your conviction.

You have to have the support of the people above.
