Oh, it's my favorite thing.

Is it spring season?

Rob, I think spring is one of the most underrated parts of just the season.

I know, yeah, when you win games, the division, all that, and fighting for a postseason berth, that's great, don't get me wrong, but that smell of grass, and being on these backfields, I was telling you, I haven't been back here since I was done playing.

Yeah, we're at Jet Blue Park, yeah, Fort Myers, yeah.

So seeing all this, it brought back...

Some bad memories, but but also some great ones.

Right.

So it's you and I were the same.

I'm just a baseball guy.

No, not at all.

Even with the injuries to the Orioles, which that's not ideal with Westberg and Jackson Holiday on the shelf to start the year.

You know, I'd like to say we can look into spring.

The reality is it means something different for whoever's there.

You're on the team, right?

Yeah.

Stay healthy.

Do you feel good enough that you can go out there and play?

You know, we're here in Boston or Fort Myers.

Crochet, if he goes out there and has an ADRA, I ain't worried about him because you see what he does during the regular season to get ready.
