So if like your starting shortstop gets hurt, the chances of you finding a guy who is as good as your starting shortstop is much different than like a platoon first baseman coming because that guy might still hit a lot of homers.

He doesn't need to be great defensively, you know, etc, etc.

I can't remember what it ended at, but at the end of the season last year, I want to say Judges was like 9-point-something, and Shohei's was very similar as well.

Some sort of off-speed pitch, you know, some sort of breaker that it actually looked like he hung it a little bit.

Yeah, you very, very rarely see a guy tag up from first base going to second base.

Graveline, we don't need to be hitting a three-run homer.

Come on, you've got to duck on the pond.

Just fucking put it in play, Graveline.

Or maybe you throw a high fastball because this guy is trying to hit a homer very clearly, so maybe you try to entice him into swinging at a high fastball.

Yeah, Grella!

Boys, what's going on, man?

It feels like coming home every time I'm with you guys.

Honored.

Pat, you probably remember this.

I fell in love with the game 94 when the World Cup came here.

I was seven.

I guess you were like eight years old.

And there's like a magic that comes with the tournament.

It comes with singing your national anthem.

The stadiums are packed.
