is a great reminder of the importance of playing great defense, um and always providing value to your team regardless of what's going on on the offensive side.

And that's where

year after year he's put up

as consistent a stat lines year to year as anyone in baseball.

Um so it might like there might be stretches where it's like, oh man, like

He's been inconsistent, but when you look up over one sixty two and every single year you're right around a one twenty OPS plus guy and play great defense.

Like every single team in baseball needs that player.

So um yeah.

Yeah, I I didn't think we were gonna get a position player or um

You know, didn't feel like that was like a a pressing need, but then you you add a player like that and it's like, Wow, that really does help our roster a lot, especially when you play seventeen straight and there's opportunities for lefty matchups for him and he plays a primary position like center field, Matthews Pete in the lineup, but gives him a couple of days off his feet and like all that stuff really adds up and he's a uh

So gotten to know him a good bit and he's been a a huge positive already.

Yeah, absolutely.

And I think you're framing it the right way where it's like, you know, you go to hopefully into a playoff series and it's in an ideal world you you know play

five games and all your starters get six or seven innings and you go to your bullstand guys, but that's just not the reality, even for the best teams.

And so if you the more guys that you can have that span three or four innings, the better.

And it it might not be this picture perfect lineup of how things go, but that's not the reality of of playoff baseball.

And it's also some of the excitement.
