Like four innings, five innings, whatever.

They just had a couple more.

So here's the question.

If you had Bregman and Cabrera, do you win that playoff series?

Absolutely.

I mean, because those pieces, it feels like, it's exciting because those feel like on the nose what you guys can use.

What's the scouting report on Cabrera?

What are the things that you feel like he does well and can help you with?

Yeah, he's like a darling of pitching ninja.

Like, how is this 92-mile-an-hour change-up working?

What I hadn't realized is that he had Daniel Moskos as a pitching coach last year, former Cubs staffer and close with Tommy Haddaby.

So that bodes well, doesn't it?

Yeah.

So when you guys have to deal with, like, it was a really crazy and adventuresome run for you guys in the playoffs, and then it ends.

And you start thinking about when do you go, okay, I've let this go, and now I'm starting to think about 2026.

Is it immediate?

Does it take some time to work through it?

Do you beat yourself up for it?

So the haircut looks really good.

It does.
