I mean, I'm going to,

quote Paul again with his talk about how we want to thrive in an environment where the scoreboard is visible.

Yeah.

Right.

I didn't realize how much I craved it until I got my heart ripped out on opening day by the San Francisco Giants.

And man, it just, it's terrible to lose and it's amazing to win.

But it's just such a great way to end your day every day.

Did we do it or not?

Are we making progress or not?

And it's just visible.

And it's such a fabulous thing.

I love the competition of it.

I love that there's a winner or loser at the end of every day.

And I love that we're just going to show up again tomorrow, no matter whether we won or lost.

We're playing again tomorrow, man.

And that was the biggest surprise and probably my favorite part of the major leagues in my experience last year.

One of the foundational experiences I had in rehab with the Reds was this sort of like flipping of the script that we wanted to promote durability rather than just like just get a guy back.

So our strength group did a fantastic job.

If you look at the bodies that emerged from our rehab group with the Reds, they were packing on muscle.

They were moving better.
