Yeah, just, I mean, just want to be grinders, play the game the right way and play hard.

And, you know, I've heard about what it's been like the past two and a half weeks.

I was definitely encouraged by what I saw before I left and, you know, in the

you know, 24 hours since I've returned to Bradenton.

I'm seeing all the right things, but we'll see.

We'll see it come opening day, and we'll see a month into the season and two months into the season.

There's still time to, you know, form that identity, but just got to come out, you know, playing hard, playing the game the right way.

Yeah, I mean, they've certainly listened.

You know, it's not like I was talking to Ben or Bob weekly or anything like that, but in exit meetings last offseason and then some conversations that we had, or exit meetings last season and then,

Some of the conversations that we had during the offseason, they were listening to me and I would assume others with some of the changes that have been made.

So it's good to see.

Like I said, got to go out there and compete.

Yeah, I mean, it's just continuing to evolve.

Hitters are going to have different approaches off me, different plans off me, and

We'll have different plans off them.

You look at it over the course of a season or two seasons, but really it's a game-by-game, pitch-by-pitch thing that adds up to a season or two seasons.

Just going one day at a time, one pitch at a time, and letting it go how it will.

We talked about you having another pitch, the sleeper.

What it's going to do for your arsenal?

Yeah, I have no idea what that is.
