So you got to pick your poison a little bit.

But you also have to understand that I think you look at game four of the NLCS.

I think we're talking about a totally different kind of animal here that can do things on the field that not many people can do with all the respect in the world for Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh.

So we'll be mindful.

I do know that.

And we'll try to give them as many different looks as we can.

This one's similar to the last one.

First one after the division, obviously a little bit different with some simulated games and crowd noise.

This one, very similar to before the CS.

It's a regular workout yesterday with some live ABs.

Today's going to be a little bit of the same with a little bit more

attention to detail from a defensive standpoint, and then some more live ABs that will try to recreate some situations.

So I think all of the fundamental stuff you feel good about, we've just done it in real time.

Just trying to keep the rhythm and timing of guys in the batter's box.

I think he's been in the float tank with cucumbers in his eyes, getting a foot rub.

These were good off days for him.

Again, I think that Louie's a unique guy to where he is not going to back down from a challenge.

He knows how we're going to be asking him to be used again.

What he did, you know, so far, 10 out of 11 games being in is remarkable.

So these off days have been good for him.
