It wasn't a Chris Bryant situation when they were waiting for the arbitrary deadline.

You know, that's that's different.

But now that he's up, I don't think sending him back down is the best idea either.

But I agree with these guys.

You know, I agree with the concept that David brought up and that Bruce was talking about.

That doesn't mean that your development comes at the price of a team who is clearly out to, as Tom Ricketts said, win World Series.

But I don't know that relegating him to utility is the best use of everybody's time either.

And you know, you bring up La Stella and you know what that reminded me of Mark, the Chris Coughlin, La Stella, somebody had to be in the minor leagues on a world series team situation that the Cubs had in 2016.

That was, that was tense.

Well, and Zobris did not have the career with the organization who drafted him.

In the career?

Yes, Rome, yes.

That was the Astros.

He was with the Astros system before he ended up going to Tampa and then before he ended up coming here.

Yeah, what was that?

I can tell you that.

You know what's really funny, too, is you know the first thing I think of because I'm a baseball old lady.

How do you score that on your box score if you're keeping score at home?

I was not keeping score at home of a spring training game.

I'm just going to get that out right now.
