What's the biggest adjustment for them to 96 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 7: really take the next step? Because I think next year 97 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 7: you guys are gonna be big players in the free 98 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 7: aging game because you guys not only have Cruise and 99 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 7: would you got some other guys coming through the system. 100 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 7: I was talking to Mattie Lee Croy.

So what do 102 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 7: those two guys have to do to become center pieces 103 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 7: of the Nationals organization? 104 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, for me, it's all about consistency, right right. 105 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 3: I mean we saw signs of what they can do. 106 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 3: You know, jans Wood with you know, some big home 107 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: runs for us last year, driving balls. This guy, this guy, 108 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 3: you watched this guy play. He doesn't look like he's 109 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 3: running very fast, but he could fly. I mean, he 110 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 3: steals basis for us. It's all about consistency. 111 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 6: Dylan. 112 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 3: You know, he worked on some things over the off 113 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: season with his hitting. He understands that, hey, he needs 114 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 3: to accept his walks, he needs to get the ball 115 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 3: on the strike zone. So far. He's done that all spring. 116 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 3: But it's about moving the baseball, taking his walks, getting 117 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 3: on basis. Another guy that can steal some basis for us. 118 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: But what I love is him is that he goes 119 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 3: out there, he forgets about that bats and he'll be 120 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: a potential go glover too. 121 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 6: I mean, this guy plays the outfree really well for us. 122 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 7: Nice I talked about TJ a little, but he had 123 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 7: a little issue at the end of last year. Was 124 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 7: that a learning message to not only him but to 125 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 7: the whole organization of like, hey, guys, we need to 126 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 7: be better about everything on and off the field, clearly, absolutely. 127 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 3: You know what young players don't realize, especially you know, 128 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: is that, hey, he became an All Star. You know, 129 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: everybody knows. Everybody sits around, they know who he is, 130 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 3: they know what he does. So you know he's got 131 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 3: to you got to pick his spots. 132 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 6: You know. 133 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 3: We always talk about, uh, but you know what, we're 134 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 3: beyond that. I mean I talked to him over the Winner. 135 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 3: You know, I don't have any hard, hard feelings about 136 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 3: the whole deal. I love the kid, I really do, 137 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 3: and uh, for the most part, he's engaged. 138 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 6: He's here. 139 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: You know, he knows what he needs to do. His 140 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 3: routines impeccable, so you know that's that's beyond est. I 141 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: hope he learned, uh from what happened and we moved 142 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 3: on and we're looking forward for him having to do 143 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: big things. 144 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 4: You know. 145 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: The key for him is, I know he was an 146 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: All Star last year, to be an All Star for 147 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 3: the whole year, and that's something that we talk about, Dave. 148 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: Is there a specific part of his game that you'd 149 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 2: like to see improved based on the ceiling that he has, Like, 150 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: where's one part where you watch him and you're like, 151 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: he can get way better here. 152 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 3: Yo, Because consistency on defense will be one. The other 153 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 3: thing too, is, you know we haven't leading off is 154 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 3: accepting his walks, you know, because when he when he's 155 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: on base, I mean, he's a guy that makes us go, 156 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 3: he really does. So if he can accept his walks, 157 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: get the ball on the zone this you know, you 158 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 3: guys seen it before. This guy has unbelievable power, you know, 159 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: but if he gets the ball in the strike so 160 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 3: he could hit the ball a long way. The big 161 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 3: thing for him, I know Darnold's talked to him about 162 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 3: be a forty to fifty doubles guy and the home 163 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 3: runs will come, but he can also steal fifty sixty 164 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 3: bags for us when he's on base. 165 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 7: What's your starting rotation look like, McKenzie, you said, Soroka. 166 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, we got McKenzie, We've got Shiroka, we got Irvin, 167 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 3: we got three lefties buying for the fifth spot. 168 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 6: We have Trevor Williams. 169 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 3: So you know that that the you know, you got 170 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 3: hers Mitchell Parker, and we got Schanowski.

Howd of interesting moment the 289 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 7: other day or tray first pitch challenge even though it 290 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 7: was right down the middle, Max got a good choke 291 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 7: because Max alred, He's given us his feelings on the 292 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 7: ABS and how much he doesn't really want it. What 293 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 7: are your thoughts on the A B s? And have 294 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 7: you told guys who can do this? I would think 295 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 7: low Bell, maybe Abrams have some power. But then you know, 296 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 7: if you get maybe Keybert, but some of the other guys, 297 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 7: you know, some younger guys, you might be like, hey, guys, 298 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 7: you might need to save some helmet t happen for later. 299 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: We did discourage the the the pictures not to do it. 300 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 4: So that's okay. 301 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 7: So that's what that's my thing is everyone says tells 302 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 7: the pitchers not to do it. I think because it's 303 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 7: because they when they throw it they don't always. 304 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 3: See they always see the Yeah, they don't always see 305 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 3: the angle man. The catcher is right there. I mean 306 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 3: he knows, you know. To me, he's got a better 307 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 3: view of what what's a strike and what's not.

Have you given any feedback to the league. 335 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: Have any players said, hey, I really like this part 336 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: of it, or you know, when it gets implemented, most 337 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: likely in twenty twenty six in the majors, I hope 338 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: they do it this way. 339 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 6: So here's what for me. 340 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 3: You know, because I've been in baseball for a very 341 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 3: long time, I've always felt like umpires are part of 342 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 3: the game, right, uh, you know, and it's a it's 343 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 3: a human factor, right, They're gonna make you know, they're 344 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 3: gonna make mistakes like everybody else does. 345 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 6: So I'm biased to having umpires. 346 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 3: I know they're trying trying to clean up the game 347 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 3: a little bit and do different things, but uh, we 348 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 3: have it. 349 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 6: You know. 350 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: I got feedback from players, especially our young guys have 351 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 3: seen it in Triple A, uh you know, and fifty 352 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 3: to fifty a lot like it because they know they 353 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 3: don't know any better, you know that that's what they're 354 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 3: that's what they were doing. So but I think I 355 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: think it's just you know, we have to wait and 356 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 3: see how it all plays out. I don't necessarily, you know, 357 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 3: we've only done it. We don't have it here at 358 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 3: our home stadium, you know, we have in different places, 359 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 3: so we don't get to see it that much. I 360 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 3: think we only get to see it ten times. But 361 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 3: we'll see how it all plays out. You're not taking 362 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 3: your challenges home with you. I hope every every game 363 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 3: you use them, because why not you can't take. 364 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 6: Always should use them. 365 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 3: We tell the players that if we have them, use them, 366 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: But a lot of times they don't, whether they forget 367 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,479 Speaker 3: they have them, you know, we tell them or uh. 368 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 6: You know. 369 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 3: So you know, like I said, we'll see how how 370 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 3: it plays out. We'll see how it transpires about the league. 371 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 7: But if they okay, so they go to this a BS, 372 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 7: they've taken away all kinds of calls. You can argue, 373 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 7: they've taken away running over the catcher, they've taken away 374 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 7: sliding into second base. 375 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 4: What can you argue? How can you get ejected? What's 376 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 4: your way to get ejected now? 377 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 7: Because if you can't argue balls and strikes, because that 378 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 7: was kind of like the last thing, you could go 379 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 7: out there and kick some dirt over the plate and 380 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 7: you know, do the whole thing. But now once that's gone, 381 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 7: you can't challenge anything else. So what what can you 382 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 7: get ejected? I guess I don't know. 383 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm gonna have to scream at an iPad. 384 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 6: How's that? 385 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 4: You have to throw and break the I then then 386 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 4: Rizzo come catch you, be like maybe you're out here. 387 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 3: I'll dipe it. I'll get a nice I'll get a nice, 388 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 3: a nice five. You'll have to pay for an iPad, 389 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 3: which we do. 390 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 4: But have you broken one? I have it? Have you 391 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 4: seen people break one? Oh? 392 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 6: Yeah? 393 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 4: Like players are coaching both they. 394 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 6: Throw them, a slam them, they throw them. They you know, 395 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 6: so it doesn't take much. 396 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 4: Do they get a bill in their locker of that? 397 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 6: We will definitely? 398 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the next level kangaroo court. 399 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 5: All right. 400 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: Here's my prediction, though, Dave, on what you're saying, I 401 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 2: don't think you'll have a problem in twenty twenty six 402 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: with saying, hey, we're never using our challenges for abs. 403 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 2: To me, it feels more like a spring training kind 404 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: of thing. I'm feeling it out. I think when a 405 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: player feels like, you know, in the sixth inning of 406 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 2: a Major League game in twenty twenty six that they 407 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 2: got squeezed. They're going to be doing one of these. 408 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 2: You're gonna be back, guys. We gotta hold this, you know, 409 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: we gotta save one for the night. 410 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 3: I mean, we we've That's one thing that we're trying 411 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 3: to learn. We're trying to teach the players and when 412 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 3: to use it. Yeah, how to use it. You know, 413 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 3: if you know, if you're a hitter, you know, it's 414 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 3: basically loaded, you know, and you've got a chance to 415 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 3: driving some big runs or and you know, they do 416 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 3: call it a strike that you don't think is a strike. Yeah, 417 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 3: you know, if you know use it, you're right. I mean, 418 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 3: that's when you want to use it for pictures. Same thing, 419 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 3: you know. I tell the catchers, hey, be smart when 420 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 3: you use it, you know, big moments or but try 421 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 3: to save them, you know, I really do, I said, 422 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 3: trying to save him till we really need it. And 423 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 3: so so far, you know, they've been pretty good. We 424 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 3: got a guy in camp Millis who has been really 425 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 3: good at it. Apparently he was one of the best 426 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 3: in the minor leagues. Uh so we had him talk 427 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 3: to our catchers though, when when he felt like he 428 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 3: should use them and when he's you should use them. 429 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 3: So it's a teaching moment. It's been good. He's been 430 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: good with it. So we'll see it. Like I said, 431 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 3: we'll see how it plays out.

Half of instincts. Half of 512 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 8: stolen bases are instincts. The other half of speed, you 513 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 8: got some sneaky speed. Can we get a guess, can 514 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 8: we get a like your goal for stolen bases this year? 515 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: I would love to get forty for sure.

Yeah, I hope, 519 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: but I don't know about that. 520 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 7: So so one thing that we had we talked to 521 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 7: your manager earlier and he said on bass, swinging up 522 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 7: better pitches was the key for you. I don't need 523 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 7: to more stolen bases if you're on base more for sure, 524 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 7: do you just have the green light to go? That 525 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 7: was never stolen base guys, So I wouldn't even know 526 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 7: what that feels like. 527 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I feel like I have green light 528 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: most situations for sure, for sure. But I like we 529 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: talked about the sixth tool. You know what you want 530 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: to run in good situations. You know, you don't want 531 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: to run when Woody's in a good count, you know, 532 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: or something like that, you know, don't or two outs. 533 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: So I think it's all about knowing the right times 534 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: to go and you know, just to I guess helped 535 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: the team out. 536 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 8: You might still have some books from college in your car, 537 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 8: like you're that recently out of college but didn't study. 538 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 4: They didn't study at LSU. What are you talking about? 539 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 8: We still had some tabs pulled up on his computer 540 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 8: for you know that the tutology, whatever classes you took. 541 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, he got his MLB degree. 542 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 8: What is that? What was the hardest thing about being 543 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 8: in the big leagues that you were like, wow, I 544 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 8: was surprised. Obviously everybody pitches, well, you know, wow, that 545 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 8: guy's got a lot of power. What was the hardest 546 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 8: thing because you went from the SEC essentially straight to 547 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 8: the big leagues. 548 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 5: I don't know. 549 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean I would say, you know, we had the 550 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: routines down and everything like that, so that wasn't a 551 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: big surprise for me. I mean, yeah, I guess everybody 552 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: is the best player in their team, the best player 553 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: in their country, the best player and you know, their 554 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: their state or whatever it is, so you got to 555 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: prepare for that. I think, you know, just being a 556 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: step ahead of these guys is the biggest advantage you 557 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: can have, really, But I. 558 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 5: Would say the hardest thing. 559 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, that's that's a tough question because 560 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, they're all really good, they're 561 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: all very good. 562 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 5: They're there for a reason. 563 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: So you know, you just try to try to figure 564 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: out something that you can be. They can take you 565 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: to the next level and whatever that is is is studying, 566 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: the studying the guys, stetting you know, the team and 567 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: all that. 568 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 7: But yeah, we mentioned LSU earlier.
