It just kind of happened.

Yeah.

You know, we've always wanted to be a dynamic offense.

And, yeah, you're right.

In years past, we've always, you know, had some guys that can leave the yard.

And we thought we had that this year.

And I think we still have players that can do that.

It just hasn't fallen that way.

You know, that's a special skill in and of itself.

And, you know, I probably have to, or I am and I have and I'll continue to, you know, look at what I'm doing to help prepare guys, you know, to be able to do those things.

Because, you know, one swing can change a game when you have somebody that can leave the yard.

And you always want to have that ability.

But we're not doing that too much this year.

But we've got other ways of scoring runs.

And, you know, we like to run a little bit.

We're pretty athletic up and down.

We can defend it at a pretty high level.

If you can pitch and play D, I think you give yourself a chance to win a game.

What it does require is nine guys in the lineup that are really focused on doing their job, and that's getting on base, getting over, and finding their way across home plate.

That requires everybody, so it has taken a while.
