Yeah, it's stressful during the season.

And the teams that I've been on that have been highly successful can score from innings 7 through 9.

So that's where you win a lot of ball games as a really good team.

But they're also going to need somebody to complement Garrett Whitlock in the back end of the bullpen.

I mean, you know, you've got the Cuban Missile back there who's going to be doing great throughout the whole season, had a great season last year.

But, you know, looking at what Garrett's going to bring and obviously his proficiency in the setup man role, but you're going to need another guy in there to ease some of those innings.

Because 80 innings, you're looking at 80 to 70, 70 to 80 innings for him next year.

I mean, that's a big workload.

You have to get the bat that wants to play in Boston, too.

Didn't work.

I don't know.

You guys don't want to play her?

I think that's a little bit of a theme where guys don't.

Let me put it this way.

They hear things, and then when you get here, it's a different story.

So you get perceived coming into Boston as,

differently than what you actually see when you get here.

What do they hear, like about ownership or about the city or the media or what?

Well, I think it's the immediate feedback that you get when you're here in Boston, which is great, and you're going to love it.

And that's something that is genuine, and it's genuine from the fact that the fans want you to do well.
