I mean,

I look at where things were at the end of my career and, you know, now 15 or whatever many years later, you know, I see how guys are treated now and how managers have to, you know, walk a little bit lightly around players and things like that.

I mean, you have to change because guys change and guys respond differently in different areas.

They've just got to give them a chance.

And I think the way that offense is swinging the bats is,
