You want to get this young kid.

He remembers what it's like to be the young kid, right?

And how that first swinging bunt single I got was like, I got a hit.

So from a pitching perspective, I want to get him through this inning.

You know, that's a big call in this inning.

He just punched out Suarez, their best hitter, on this play.

And then you heard KY say it on the air, guarantee he's not striking out now and he's probably getting a hit.

And boom, there's the hit.

And I think that, like, you know, whether it was Barco or whoever else it may have been, that's sticking up for your pitcher in that spot more so than just getting after the umpire.

That's sticking up for your pitcher because it's hard to pitch in the big leagues.

It's hard to get outs, especially when you're a young guy.

Yeah, Wrigley's the best.

I mean, I always say PNC is the best new park, but Wrigley was my favorite old park, although it's gotten renovated since I played there a lot more.

But it's a party every day.

I used to really enjoy during BP when they opened the gates, the bleacher, because those seats aren't assigned.

The bleacher seats?

Yeah, at least at my time they weren't assigned.

They probably are now.

they would come down and stroll in and fill the rows and be talking to you during batting practice and everything.

Yes, I'm talking the outfield bleachers, like how excited they were.
