I mean, especially when you're – they're a lot of fun because there's a lot of hope.

And at the beginning of the year, no matter how bad you're supposed to – I mean, even the Rockies, like, they're home opener even though they're probably the worst team in baseball.

It's fun because it's like a new beginning and you aren't out of it and you have a chance.

But, like, I think this year is even more special for the Pirates because there's this buzz behind them.

That's why I think last night's win and hopefully today getting a win is just huge momentum coming into this.

Yeah.

You know, it's a lot of fun.

You know, for these guys, if you think about it, they went right from spring training to New York.

They haven't slept in their own bed forever.

They're going to see their families and everything.

So they get the day off tomorrow to kind of get home tonight, actually.

Get the day off tomorrow to get acquainted with what's going on.

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.
