You know, who knows?

You know, if you're trailing by a run and it goes, you know, you got a couple of strikes on you, you know, if you can draw a walk out of something, that could be a big part of a game.

You know, it's hard to pinpoint.

But there's also times, you know, you'll see teams, not just ours, it's done selfishly sometimes.

You go, what are we thinking here, you know, or what are they thinking over there, you know?

But like a lot of things in this game, easier said than done.

Well, you know what?

I think both of them would be very, very good at it because they had such great eyes.

You know, they knew the strike zone.

But there might have been a little selfish challenges here or there out of both of them.

Yeah, you know, but you will notice, you know, if a team loses their challenges, you know, then that zone gets a little wider again for some reason, you know, when they can't challenge anything.

You know, I think them umpires, too, you know, they get a little ticked off when certain guys challenge them.

You're just hoping, you know, you don't run out of them.

That's for sure.

You know, Bark, I mean, he's got a big-time arm, man, you know, and it comes out easy.

You know, great two-seam fastball, good breaking ball.

And, you know, he's just a big, strong horse.

You know, I saw him a couple years ago for the first time when I was coaching with the Mets when we went out to Anaheim.

And, you know, we had our A lineup, and we were playing pretty good at the time, and he was a mismatch.

I'm going, man, who's this guy, you know?
