Marshall Harris

I'm just saying once he gets on base, which he tends to do, I'd like him to have a shot to score without driving himself in.

And Alex Bregman last night being in the cleanup spot, okay, if that's what you want to do.

And I think the only reason he batted cleanup and not fifth, like you said, is because Ian Happ was out of the lineup because I think otherwise Happ would have been fourth and then Bregman would have been fifth.

But I do – I'm okay with it.

If the bottom of the order – if Pedro Ramirez is out here getting three hits, and I understand why Craig wants to get him into the lineup more.

Yeah.

But I've been consistently saying Carson Kelly's a better than the bottom third of the order on this team.

Who's that?

Oh, no, I don't think he cares.

I'm just saying if you want a more productive offense.

And right now, I got no issues with what's going on because they're scoring runs.

Yes.

Much like Dansby Swanson, the price of how much we're paying you doesn't need to determine where you are on a day-to-day basis.

What determines that is, how are you hitting?

A needed time because the pitching is what it is, and they're giving up five runs a game over the last six games, which is not a low number.

I had to read the text and then I went out, got back in.

I was like, wait, is this real?

Wasn't even thinking about Ben Brown except for the context of, man, I can't wait until Friday when Ben Brown takes on Jacob Mizorowski in that opener in Milwaukee.

That's all I was thinking about when I thought of Ben Brown.

Or the fact that, I don't know, he's got a 1.85 ERA over 20 appearances, including a 1.70 ERA in eight starts.
