Um, you've got just a bunch of guys, Ty Jameson Tyone.

Um and they just

It doesn't seem like in fact I think it would be better for them to finish five hundred, just miss the playoffs.

rather than make the playoffs at five hundred and get trashed in the first round.

I think that the fans would be look ahead.

It's like

Key gonna remember that year where they where they were edged out of the playoffs even after their season had finished, they were watching on the big screen and and they missed.

I think that was better than going to the playoffs and getting crushed.

I think at the trade deadline on August third they had that in mind because all of the major changes that they made came on the pitching end and and they wanted to be ready

or the off season, heading into the off season with with a short time to sort of rebuild because December first and the and the work stoppage that is likely and who knows when that will be over.

I have confidence that next season will start sometime in early April if uh if not on time.

But

If you've only got a month to build, you would rather spend that month, as you point out, building your offense rather than working on your pitching and your offense.

And the pitching the rotation is in place if they have um players coming back from injuries like Cody Ponce and and uh Trey Yesavage and and they're gonna be losing Shane Bieber a and Max Scherzer.

But they have enough to set up a solid rotation heading into the season.

So that leaves them with the ability to focus just

on the hitting side and part of that is knowing um by the end of the season and into November

whether guys like Addison Barger can be counted on next spring or whether they have to to reach down and find somebody with a little pop in their bat to replace a guy like that.

So I I agree with you but I disagree with you.

So yeah, no we we're on the same page but uh
