Matt Clement

And I think we're, you know, we're threading the needle pretty tight when it's between 97, 98 and 99.

But as long as he's in that area code, most of the time, I think he's probably feeling pretty good.

Well, I'll say this.

He benefited from all the Cruz talk because nobody was really paying attention to what Marcelo Zuna was doing.

And then you look down and he's off to a slow start.

I think these guys are professionals.

These guys have played eight, nine, ten years and been successful year after year after year to some extent, sometimes more successful, sometimes less successful.

There doesn't seem to be any panic in him.

I don't see anything technically.

I'm not a hitting expert, but I don't see anything that he's doing.

He's not chasing a ton of pitches.

He seems very patient.

He's worked himself into good counts.

It just hasn't happened yet.

It's funny because if I go back to prep him to come on the show today where I was yesterday at this time,

Cruz was there with him, and Reynolds was there with him.

And now all of a sudden, that's how quickly this can flip.

And I think a small sample size right now, and he's going to do it probably when least expected at the moment, but all eyes being on the other people right now, he's probably benefited because it's kept eyes off of him during the slow start, but I expect it to happen soon.

Yeah, I think that some players just like to hit where they are.

And, you know, if I'm a two-hole hitter, you know, I'm doing certain things.
