Kevin Ploiecki, just Chris Sale, just these guys that are enjoying the game but also understanding the team camaraderie part of it.
How can we get everybody to come together and actually pull for each other on the field as hard as you'd be pulling for yourself?
Yeah, I would agree.
I mean, I think, again, it's such a long season with 162 games plus 30 games in spring training.
You have so many different, again, to your point, you have different groups in the clubhouse, different guys, but how do you tie all that together?
How do you get everybody over to somebody's house after a game or on an off day?
um, to get to know the players and just take the, take the mask off from, you know, being in the clubhouse and, you know, whatever, who cares?
Everybody's gone.
Oh, for 20, everybody's had four bad starts in a row.
Everybody sucked at some point.
So we're all here to try to figure out, you know, to, to, to help that guy.
So if, if, if we, if we do that as a whole, as a group, um,
then that's going to benefit the team right so that's where i think captains i mean you know if you if you had captains you'd have to have probably you know two of them one on the pitching side one on the position player side um and and then again you know that becomes dicey because you want to be able to get the guy that is consistent every single day yeah and baseball is a very inconsistent game it's very difficult to be consistent at it um and you know if i was going to pick
One guy, one guy, one guy out of 21 years of being around teams, that's very difficult.
But, you know, Juan Pierre, very early on, comes to mind.
I was not expecting that.
All right.
Juan Pierre.
Yeah, Juan Pierre.
I think he's a guy that a lot of guys, I think, would name because showing up to spring training, getting there at 6 o'clock in the morning, and I'm already hearing somebody in the cage bunting, and I'm like, who is this?
