Keegan Matheson

I don't have to listen to Keegan come in and ask dumb-ass questions again.

Right.

After another loss.

Well, five and seven is better than four and eight, needless to say.

It's weird.

You have to tee the guy up right.

And I've stopped caring over the years.

I used to be nervous about asking a guy after a bad loss when I was younger.

I've stopped caring because I'm always there, and I think they know me, and they know that I'm not trying to screw them.

But at the same time, you can't just ask a guy, so how did it feel today?

Because they will go up and down me and blow me up.

Like not this team as much as maybe like the Bautista and Donaldson years where I got told to go a lot of places.

But after a loss like that, I mean, it starts with John Schneider.

The first question, what am I going to ask?

It's, you know, you try to be a little forward thinking.

You try to at least acknowledge that these guys aren't idiots.

They're aware that they just got beat.

They're aware they lost.

And, man, you've got to try to get through that BS a little bit off the top without offending them, right?

Because if I'm only going to be there asking those bad questions, they're going to think that's who you are.
