But now, you can now get a little bit granular and there's better information.

And me, my coaching staff, we're going to want that information.

But that's only a piece of the puzzle.

I talk about it in like you're trying to place good bets on the field.

Those numbers, those data points help you place those bets.

But it's not 100% certainty.

You know, at the end of the day, the players go out and play like I talked about before.

So it's equipping them with the right information at the right time that's digestible, but also getting the players feedback and listen to your players, you know, because certain things might not land for the player or, you know, there's other

aspects of the game that's going on with the player, and that's why you have to know the player.

So analytics is just a piece of how we're gonna go about our business in the clubhouse and on the field.

To your second point,

Baseball's hard.

It's such a hard game and there's no level above this.

Some players should get called up to the next level, but there's no level above this.

So, you know, like Mike, like David alluded to with the Blue Jays, like you just don't know.

And that's the beauty of baseball.

Like you can have like 162 game season is the toughest thing to navigate in sports.

Even the Dodgers this year, like they spent all that money.

Yes, they won the World Series, but it was a grind for them to get there.

It wasn't a cakewalk through the 162 game season.
