I get it, man.

There's math involved.

There's a lot of, as Marshall likes to do, looking ahead involved.

And I, just as a general statement about Will Venable, I'm anxious to know if...

This man is a good manager.

I have no idea yet.

And it's because the players, and I don't know who's managing the team, like how much information he receives about lineups and pitchers.

I feel like he's probably pretty controlled.

The answer, though, I'm sorry to pile on.

Carlos Mendoza.

But that's a... You're trying to end what was at that time a 10-game losing streak.

It became 11.

Look, even if you're not paying attention to Nico Horner this year in the slug, you know that this guy is contact.

I mean, you know that about him.

You know that this guy is clutch.

And I don't think that his explanation was particularly satisfying either.

So I got to go with poor Carlos Mendoza.

So you're going with Carlos Mendoza.

It's interesting because we have that explanation of why he decided to pitch to Nico Horner, who had been in that situation earlier in the game.
