So maybe we're getting closer, but I think the 2026 Blue Jays have taught us to wait until we see it to really believe it.

It's in the DNA, fellas.

I've seen that guy get redder than I've ever been in my life.

It's in there.

It's in there somewhere.

But he doesn't like to do it to the media.

And that's smart, honestly.

I know that after most games, listen, I post and write about what John Schneider tells us.

What he says to me is a heck of a lot different than what he is saying to Vlad in the clubhouse.

And I know this.

I've had players before tell me that what Snyder comes in and says to us, and comes to your locker and says to you, that's way different than what's out there publicly.

And that's a good thing.

I think if you play that the right way.

But eventually, fans, understandably so, want to hear their frustration also expressed by someone...

on the field, or in that dugout.

And like you said, Hayes, with Vladdy, that miscommunication on the pop-up wasn't busting at the second there whatsoever.

If you're not doing the big things, you need to do the small things.

Absolutely must.

If you're the last player on the roster, that's how you keep a job.

If you're one of the highest paid players in baseball, that's how you keep leading the team.
