There's going to be excitement at the park.

It's really going to be exciting.

And, again, as important it is to come home from this road trip 3-3, I think it's important to keep that momentum going.

I think Donnie will stress this, to start this season at home the right way in front of your fans to keep them coming and keep them hungry and keep them believing that some of these expectations are possible.

Well, I feel like his personality comes out a lot more than Shelton's did.

And that's kind of – honestly, that's just each person.

Everybody's different in that way.

And Shelton can be very successful where he is now at the same time doing it the way he does.

There's been a lot of managers that have done it his way.

I think one of the things that stuck out to me with Donnie right away last year –

is how he uses the bullpen.

I think his use of the bullpen was so much better when he got the job.

You could tell guys were comfortable with their roles.

They knew their roles.

Their roles were consistent.

And I think that's the part that nobody likes to talk about.

that's the winning part of baseball in today's day and era when you have pitchers going five innings.

Yeah.

And, and he kind of like, I feel like those guys have confidence in him and what he's going to decide to do when he's going to do it.

And I think the fire, like I, I, I think some of it's probably intentional, the intentional fire that you saw last night, you saw it a lot last year, right?
