But to Triolo, the point, that's the way they're rolling.

Griffin's down.

They only have Gonzalez and Triolo on that side of the infield.

You're going to see a lot of them.

I know he's catching a lot of criticism for the –

For the bunt the other day.

The non-bunt the other day.

Eight pitches.

Right, right.

And I have a lot of people ask me about that play.

And this is like, as an older school baseball person, hard to get through this.

And I see it in high school now, right?

You see people swinging at a 3-0 pitch, down two to lead off the last inning of a game.

Well, I think the thought process of letting him swing there is guy just threw eight pitches in a row.

He's going to throw a cookie here.

And this is going to be the best pitch, especially one of my lesser hitters, can hit.

And unfortunately, through the strike three slider –

um and it made it look bad and then it made it look worse and people complained a little bit more about triola but i think in the grand scheme of things you're going to see connor griffin when i don't know at some point you're going to see him and and you're going to it's going to be beneficial to me that triola's had all these reps because you are going to need them injuries happen things happen and and he's a big part if this is going to work this year he's a big part of that left side of the infield

You know, every one of these new rules I've been slow to warm to, I really love the strategy behind this ABS system.

I think it's great.
