Probably not the best person to jump in on your first time picking up a bat in a couple of years, but...
I was able to put a couple of balls in place.
So I was like, okay, this is, this is fun.
And, but then you look at the metrics that come off of it and like, Ooh, I really need to get in the cage.
That's the thing, a bad thing about today's game is like, there's so much feedback and it's like, Oh, I hit that ball.
Well, and it didn't go anywhere.
It's like, Oh crap.
So, uh, but it's fun.
I think getting back and talking with guys and being around the game, uh, that part I love.
It was.
It was.
I actually did it in spring training, too.
It's great, I think, for guys to be able to see spin and see different things.
Whatever picture they're facing that day kind of gives you an opportunity to have some at-bats.
But it's also a little weird because the ball's coming out of a hole.
So it's doing as much as it can to...
to replicate who you're going to be facing.
But technology is, it's amazing in what it's able to do for, for guys now and allow them to, to take some swings and get their eyes locked in on, on what they're going to be facing that night.
Yeah, information was different.
I mean, we had the information, and we'd have our meetings, and we'd go over the different things that each pitcher threw, whether it be starters or bullpen.
