And for me, Vlad reminds me of a right-handed hitting like Jordan Alvarez where it's like –

And I think Jordan has tapped into his ceiling more than Vlad has.

And I think Vlad has even more than that.

Yeah, I think Vlad has more than that.

But it's like there's rare holes.

There's minimum holes that you can go to in a playoff game.

Like, dude, you see what he's done against the Red Sox for years.

There's no coincidence of that.

These players in these situations show up because they put the ball in play.

They don't strike out as much, and they don't have that many holes.

And as Rich Hill talked about it, your boy, great friend of the show.

I watched this one, too.

He talked about one pitch equaling up to actually... Yeah, two and a half pitches.

And I found that fascinating.

And how the pressure of a situation makes it so you don't want to make a mistake as much.

So you grip the ball a little bit tighter.

So now you couple that with a guy who's at the plate where you just know there's no hole for you to go to.

That's a living hell.

That's Vlad.

And I think they have a chance in this series...
