Say three Hail Marys, everybody's got a clean slate, so let's just get to work.

You have to do that with young guys.

I'm looking forward to it.

I understood what happened with him on special teams, so I've heard all that.

He's a young man, and obviously his draft value is what you think of him.

I can't really answer until I get my hands on him.

But I'm going to challenge him to be a three-down player, challenge him to be a special teams player.

So all those things are a part of being a young running back in this league, especially with the two guys in front of him.

Doing well.

It's amazing as up and down as this first five games have been.

You have Skeens on the mound and can come home 500 against a division opponent you struggled with last year and one of the better teams in the National League with the Mets.

Yeah, I think it's such a dynamic with O'Neal Cruz out there.

At the start of the year, as bad as it went with those first two fly balls with your ace on the mound, it's put him in a spot where it's just polarizing and everybody's watching it.

And I've got to think about this a little bit.

And, you know, I checked out like six foot seven outfielders that played center field in the history of baseball.

And the only one that came there was two that came up.

One was an old timer.

I didn't write down.

Sorry.

The other was Aaron Judge, who's probably played there for probably less than 100 innings, if even that.
