But Kangaroo Court just, you know, generally just another thing, and it wasn't every place that I went to, and I played on 10 different teams, but I think that's just another layer of –

You know, trust and camaraderie and culture that's built within the clubhouse.

The fact that, you know, and obviously it's Max Scherzer, right?

Future Hall of Famer, 41-year-old man we're talking about here calling out his manager.

But when you can have someone a little bit down that totem pole a little bit, maybe making those same comments to their manager.

Just let you know how collective and tight they are as a group.

And I love what Max had to say about the situation, right?

We don't know when court's being held.

Obviously, that's an organizational thing that's done behind closed doors, right?

But the fact that he made a comment and said, I think it was to Hazel that we'll talk about it on Tuesday, lets you know that sometime between yesterday and Tuesday, that court case is going to be settled.

And I really do hope that we do hear a little bit about it, what the fine was during the conversation.

But it's just one of those things, as you know, Kev, as a player, it's one of those things that's best behind closed doors in terms of what the fines are and everything.

how much money they are and how the process is done.

It's a fun little tease for the fans to know that this goes behind closed doors and maybe eventually on a show like mine where you're retired and you're not affiliated with an organization or team anymore, you can come in and tell all.

But it's also great insight for me for my podcast to the majors where maybe I'm going to ask guys about Kangaroo Court and some of the crazy stories and finds that they've seen or encountered themselves.

Yeah, I think it's just an extra layer of strategy that you have to talk about as a team and as an organization, right?

And I think there has to be a lot of trust on, you know, definitely your catchers and certain hitters in certain situations.

I mean, I think last night was a crazy example of, you know, Blue Jays catcher challenging in the first inning on a, I think it was a 1-0 pitch or an 0-0 pitch, but...

There are certain times that you just know very obviously as a catcher or as a hitter that the call was made incorrectly.

I think that's a cool thing about this.
