Those conversations happen so much behind the scenes between the staff and the players and player to player, you know, like.

listening to Vladdy and, and, and Brandon talk about that play specifically, you know, they talk about it sometimes when I'm out making a pitching change about what pitch they're thinking about doing it with what runner.

And that's just kind of how we operate, but the player usually tells you when he's ready for it.

You know, I think that just the play last night, I said it after the game, like we saw Pete's lead, the initial first pitch and kind of where their first base coach was positioned and, and,

I think myself, Vlad, Marlo, Drew, and Valley all kind of were like, whoa, there's an opportunity.

So all being on the same page, you know, as opposed to maybe a couple weeks ago, you're getting Valley's attention and kind of, you know, saying, hey, hey, look at this, look at this.

I think he's kind of caught up there a little bit.

So the player tells you, you know, and it's been cool to watch him grow each and every game.

Thank you.

Thanks, Jeff.

Be well.

Talk soon, man.

Thanks so much for doing this.
