There can be only one.

There can be only one.

And there's a couple pieces of sound we'll get to at some point today, one from Matt Quattrero, one from Bobby Wood Jr., the one from Q is probably more important.

This is the first time, and one of the things that I do every morning after a Royals game is I go through the sound from the night before, if they've played, and pull some clips so we can talk about it.

This is the first time I just completely ignored anything related to the game itself.

I mean, it's all about where this team is right now and where does it go.

They're coming off the end of a series, the end of a homestand.

There's an off day.

knocking around what happened in the fifth inning is meaningless at this point.

Until they get to a situation where they're on an upturn and they're starting to challenge even to get to 500, almost all the discussion about this team is about the overall direction.

It's a 10,000-foot view.

Not 30,000-foot view, but maybe a 10,000-foot view.

So I think I think last night, maybe it's just not just because they lost seven nothing, but it was it was the culmination of a series in a homestand.

And I think today is the first day for me of all right.

Now it's not about the individual games anymore.

It's similar in football as well and basketball.

When your team isn't scoring...

They look lifeless.

And because when you're playing baseball, if you keep making outs, how do you show fire?

You're going to run.
