You come up with a runner on first.

I can't imagine the highs and the lows that you were feeling in that bat and what looked like it was a grounder to the pitcher.

Pitcher throws it to second, looking to get the force.

They botch the play.

What were you thinking and feeling in that moment, in that at-bat?

That's so interesting, Ian, because we kind of say or hope for or think the same thing in our own way here.

We always talk about it.

These guys are going to give back to the

you know, the back of their baseball cards.

And we're, as talk show hosts, talking about you guys.

We get very exasperated sometimes.

I bring that up to say, sounds like you guys do too.

I could hear it in the tone of your voice that it's like, you guys got to be baffled sometimes.

Like, this has to change.

Alex Bregman is a much better player than that.

And there are many examples.

You guys have all been in your slumps at times.

So that is what it is.

You guys just know it's got to get better, and you know it will get better.

And it just sounds like you're just as frustrated as we get.
