Have you experienced that at all or have these models, the perception of you from front offices remain pretty much the same?

You know what I mean?

In what sense?

Well, in the sense of, like, there can be a team where...

maybe doesn't show a lot of interest and maybe then it gets someone hurt or maybe just says, Hey, there's a good picture out there.

Like I'll give you an example, like Jordan Montgomery a couple of years ago, the Arizona wasn't bank.

That wasn't their plan, but they, Hey, this is a good picture.

And have you seen any of it like go up and down or has this just been like, no, we value Lucas this way and we're going to stick to it, you know, from front office point of view.

The, well, when they say that, but then, you know, player teams have problems or get hurt, whatever.

Have you seen any...

It's a different approach from teams when these guys get hurt, when their roster changes in the last, let's say, I think it stays relatively consistent.

When was the toughest time?

Was it when guys went to spring training?

Was it as spring training is going along?

Was it opening day?

Is it now sitting here?

You're talking about emotionally?

Yeah, just in terms of like, man, I really want to play.

I love...

the people here, and I love being here with the people I love and everything else, but you only, for your entire adult life, have only known one thing, right?
