I have to think that he's going to do that.
Yeah, let's bring in Shai.
Shy, John came on and said that George Springer might play some outfield.
What situation you think would force John to have to put George in the outfield?
Shy, I've never asked you this question before, but do you know what the relationship is between David Popkins and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
when it comes to, you know, last year, I think the kind of tampering down the slumps, like the slumps just didn't last very long.
I think last year we saw Springer go through it about a week and a half, right?
And then after that week and a half, he was hammering baseballs.
This extra base hit thing with Vladdy is taking forever.
I mean, it's just, it's happened too long.
And I wonder that relationship, if David walked by Vladdy and went, hey, get your hands up higher.
Would he listen?
Like, do you know if that relationship's good enough between those two people?
I know he's got a Vladdy, everybody seems to want to tell us that everybody and their mother wants to tell us, like, you know, do this, do that, go there, go here.
When it's just every day that guy that's around you the most, how's that relationship?
Do you have any idea what that relationship's like?
Shia, whenever you talk to Ernie, does he ever talk about the lineup changes that he has to go through?
Like tonight he's hitting second.
Last night he was hitting third.
I think the last couple nights he's hitting third.
