Okay, so that's part of the game, injuries.

But availability is a huge tool in this game.

The 1998 Yankees had three guys hit over 20 home runs, and Tino Martinez had 28.

That was the top home run hitter.

123 RBI.

Not this, oh, we didn't get Schwalbe.

We didn't get Alonzo.

We're not going to be any good.

That's BS.

Joe, before you – really good call, by the way.

I appreciate the passion.

I appreciate the – you clearly know what you're talking about.

But I will say two things.

Number one is the back-to-balls thing is worthy of a bigger conversation because this is what Toronto did, and I do feel like they're pivoting back to actually not swinging and missing nearly as much as they did certainly at the beginning of the year.

But, Joe, here's the problem with this is that – with the home run thing.

And you guys can tell me if I'm full of hoey.

The problem is that when you start an offseason and you define this skill set as the thing that you're prioritizing and you don't get it, then that's a problem.

Because they clearly knew that by saying that, they clearly are saying we view this as an important part of making our team better for the next step.

That is the thing.

Joe, you have a lot of good cases to be made.
