If he feels comfortable doing it, you know, I'm going to listen to players and trust them.

You know, I've known Bo for a long time.

So we'll see how today goes.

I mean, for me, I try to take me out of it, you know.

But for me, it's really special.

Managing the rookie ball Gulf Coast League team and playing 1030 games on a Saturday at the complex is a far cry from this, right?

But I think you think about the work that you've done, the people you've met, the adjustments you've made.

This was always the end goal, right, with this organization, that I think that it would –

Happen?

Probably not because of how this game works and how there's a lot of movement to this job.

So I'm really excited about this, but I'm just as excited for guys that I've known for a long time, for Bo, for Vlad, for guys that have been here for numerous years.

It's just really cool for the organization and I'm just thankful and humbled that I'm the one doing it, leading them into the World Series.

Hey, John.

What can you share about your plans for the starting rotation?

I can share that Trey Yusavis will pitch game one, and we will announce game two probably a little bit later today.

And I'm sure I'll talk to you guys again at some point today or tomorrow, and we'll go from there.

Is Chris Bassett a part of those discussions, or is he more leverage relief like we saw in the CS?

Most likely, Chris will stay in the bullpen and figure out the best spots for him.

But he's, I think, throwing the ball really well and is in a good spot physically and mentally.

I think they've both said it to where they kind of feel like brothers at this point, right?
