And I think people will probably say, well, a lot of it does because it's, it's, we've seen it for a lot of the season, but I do think that, you know, I think tipping your cap is a loaded phrase in this, in these parts, but I don't know.

Yovani Cruz.
God, I think he's going to be a problem, right?
I think, I think we're going to be discussing Yovani Cruz when we come to blue Jays, Yankees game for quite some time.
