You're not scoring Ryan O'Hearn from first.

Unless you have a ball that just dies in the corner.

So maybe he's talking about a home run.

Jared Triolo in his major league career has hit 19 home runs over now four seasons.

His fourth major league season.

So he is not the guy that's going up there to win you the game.

At the plate.

He's someone that has to assist in someone else winning you the game.

Especially when it's not a one-run game and just a little seeing-eye single or a little bloop can get it done for you.

For the guy that is already struggling this year with just two hits and 17 at-bats.

But somebody else who is having a very, very difficult start to the season...

is the man being paid the most money of anyone on this franchise.

That's Brian Reynolds.

An eight-year, $106.75 million contract extension that was signed in April of 2023.

Brian Reynolds is making $14.25 million this year.

And what has he done to show for it?

Through, yeah, four games.

I get it.

Small sample size.

Three hits and 18 at-bats with one walk and eight strikeouts.
