Mike Elias

I mean, if you watch the World Series game, especially game seven, there was a lot of baseball plays that happened.

And if you don't take pride in those aspects of the game,

That's how you lose that game.

And that comes with PFPs, controlling the running game, all that little stuff.

That's something that we're going to be doing a lot of in spring training because these guys are so talented.

They're going to work religiously with our hitting coaches.

And our pitchers are going to work on their shapes.

But when it comes to the baseball side of things, that's something that you can control as a player and as a coaching staff.

And that's something that's going to be at the forefront.

Yeah, because I don't know it all.

I know for a fact that I am by far not the smartest person in baseball, and that's why I like to lean on everyone around me.

Coaching staff, players, front office, everyone has an input, everyone has a say in kind of what we do on the field, and I need all that input from me and that feedback because sometimes you get a little too close to the action and your views get a little jaded and you need the checks and balances of either

Like I said, the coaching staff are front office members as well.

They kind of, you know, keep the main thing the main thing.

And that's something I'm really going to rely on is that collaborative effort.

Yeah, whatever Mike wants to cook up.

That's what Mike does best, go out in the off-season and cook.

No, I trust Mike.

I trust his group.

For me, as a manager of the team, it's all about who the players are in the clubhouse.
