It's just like, you know,
is there a little bit of luck to the Connor Griffin?
Like, I mean, did anybody expect this to happen this quick as a 19 year old?
No, but Hey, give, you know, sometimes people just deserve credit for, for getting it right.
And like to see a guy, the first guy after all those stats you just read, Dave Buick, you know, give, give the pirates scouting some credit.
Yeah, I think Nick Gonzalez stays in the lineup at third with Triolo being a defensive replacement.
But again, what you've created, I think what Donnie Kelly's mindset going into this was, let's get competition.
Let's fight this out.
You have a couple first basemen.
You could always move Mo Hernan and play over Horowitz if he struggles.
You have multiple DHs.
And so I think that you're going to trail is going to get his his time.
I think what you might see now, I was talking about this before when you didn't know what was going on with Connor Griffin.
What you might see now is you might see Lyle get a couple of D.H.
opportunities and Gonzalez go to second base.
And you know, again, more flexibility.
The teams have more flexibility in their bullpen.
and their lineup, and their defense.
All those things make teams that are winning teams come to fruition.
I think Traiola has been the guy that's never really got the chance.
