you could just tell that it was a guy who was just fighting him mentally more than physically.

Yeah, I mean, reason to believe, yes, but I think there's...

probably greater evidence for the skepticism that, like, I know Jonathan India was not who the Royals, he's not produced the way that he did before he was with the Royals and that that trade, although Brady Singer hasn't produced terrific either, but he still was a piece in the lineup that's more valuable than the replacement.

And so, like, I think that has the potential to be an underrated loss for him.

I think the depth part of it.

Yeah.

Yeah, and I think, you know, because that factors into the India stuff that you're talking about is like what's the replacement.

I think it's one of the reasons why they gave India the money.

For sure, because, like, especially when you look at the way that the Royals have hit recently, you know, I mean, they've certainly hit more home runs, but they're about middle of the pack over the past couple of weeks.

But where they're crushing it is getting on base.

Yeah.

Like, it's Jonathan India's strength.

I mean, Lane Thomas over the last couple of weeks, his on base is 480.

Yeah.

Isaac Collins is 476.

Vinny Paspantino is 424.

Isbell is 417.

Caglione is 387.

I mean, they've got four guys during that stretch who have a walk rate.

of at least 15% during these last two weeks.
