Hold on, let me write that down.

Yeah, homers are great.

Yeah, homers are great.

That might be a T-shirt, actually.

good point um you know we finished middle of the pack with in in homers and yeah i obviously i think for a good portion of the year you know like we were still within the top 10 and i did we didn't i mean the last month month and a half we did not hit a bunch of homers and i think obviously you saw the some of the run production as a result i think homers give you again it's the immediate opportunity to put runs on the board which is which is always always very important um

I think, again, making sure that we stay true to the offense that we are and not trying to settle out to be something that we aren't, I think is also very important.

And we knew, I feel like our best opportunity was to always put ourselves in a position to score as many runs as possible.

And that's getting on base so that when you do hit a home or a double, it's two, three runs.

But I think there's guys going to take steps forward next year and that total will grow for sure.

I think the reality is,

you know, like the goal is to create a system, an offensive system, right?

There's a minor league component to that.

We're trying to develop and extract as much as we can from a player perspective to, to make them capable big leaguers, whether it's for our organization or somebody else, right?

That's how you drive player value.

I think at the big league level,

I use the word extraction a lot.

Right.

Like it's about taking what you have because everybody is there.

You're trying to further develop them.

Right.
