Yeah, pleasure to be here.

Been well.

It's fun to get up there and see the excitement in the stadium, see all the changes, obviously, in the stadium.

Everything looks beautiful, and hopefully baseball will start to match that here pretty soon.

Yeah, those are difficult.

I mean, everything that they've been going through, the stretches they've gone through, how they've lost games, and then you put yourself in a position where, okay, we fought back, and the letdown that comes at the end of it, they always seem to happen during these rough patches.

You just can't seem to get over that hump, and they will.

It's just...

Last night's game is probably one of the more difficult losses they've had all week.

So that's something that with the pitching they faced, that's another thing.

It's like you can't take a breath when it comes to our offense and what it is right now.

So it's difficult.

It's a tough loss.

But the good thing about this game is you get a chance to do it again tomorrow.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's something that, as a player and being in different clubhouses, they're all different.

I think when you look at this team and how it's constructed and what they were able to accomplish last year, they probably fully felt like, okay, now we put ourselves in a position that we're going to win this baseball game.

And

For the most part, you don't necessarily get wrapped up in one game because that one game doesn't define 162.

But when you're trying to get things turned around, that's when it's focused on a little bit more.

It hurts a little bit more.
