Speaker 1: Matthew Boyd to the Cubs. They all start joining us
Speaker 1: right now on FT. I'll carry our conversation over to
Speaker 1: you for a moment here. First off, how you doing, Bud.
Speaker 2: Doing, good Man? How you doing? I actually got to
Speaker 2: meet your parents.
Speaker 1: I heard about that. I was going to bring that
Speaker 1: up at some point. Were they nice? Were they nice
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 2: Oh? They were so kind? Yeah? Good bad, good, good good.
Speaker 2: I'm glad.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for Santa Loo to them meant a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were at regularly recently. So I want to ask you,
Speaker 1: do you how much attention do you pay to the
Speaker 1: history of an organization or a rivalry or a series.
Speaker 1: We were talking about how the Yankees just stomp on
Speaker 1: the Twins for like twenty years, going back to literally
Speaker 1: AJ's rookie years in or early years in the Twins organization.
Speaker 2: Does any of that come up?
Speaker 1: Because most players I've spoken to are like, I don't
Speaker 1: know anything about the history of this rivalry or whatever else.
Speaker 2: I'm just playing ball. But what about you?
Speaker 3: I mean, it comes up sometimes some of it you're
Speaker 3: aware of. It's like Cups Cardinals, you know the rivalry there,
Speaker 3: but like some of it at the same time, like
Speaker 3: just doesn't hold the same you know, you know it's there,
Speaker 3: but it's not going to really change anything.
Speaker 2: Like it's just if you follow the game sometimes you're
Speaker 2: aware of that stuff. But I mean, when it comes
Speaker 2: down to it, it's like you go.
Speaker 3: Do your thing and it's it's like hopefully, I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, it just doesn't really have too much baron
Speaker 3: on you.
Speaker 4: But have you ever seen teammates get intimidated by going
Speaker 4: into places? Because I played for the Blue Jays in
Speaker 4: fourteen and I remember going into Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 5: These dudes were doing.
Speaker 4: Interviews on the on the field, and I'm like, you
Speaker 4: guys never do any of this stuff anywhere else. And
Speaker 4: then we go out and we get waffled by the Yankees.
Speaker 4: Like you see teammates that get and how do you
Speaker 4: even talk to them when you see that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think as you guys know, when
Speaker 3: you're when you play in a place sometimes and you've
Speaker 3: been there for multiple years unless I mean, I remember
Speaker 3: in Detroit, it was always like Cleveland was always something
Speaker 3: that was just hard for us, you know, like we
Speaker 3: wish it wasn't, but we just lost there a lot,
Speaker 3: you know, Kluber and Carrasco and Bauer would you know,
Speaker 3: shut us down, and Tomlin would come in and shut
Speaker 3: us down.
Speaker 2: Like it was just.
Speaker 3: Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason for it, but there's
Speaker 3: just a mental thing there. And when you come into
Speaker 3: another club sometimes you look at that. I just remember, like,
Speaker 3: you know, when we were in Seattle and at the
Speaker 3: time they were the Astros were a team that it
Speaker 3: kind of had their number, and it's just like coming
Speaker 3: from Detroit, it was like, oh, that's not that big
Speaker 3: of a deal.
Speaker 2: But then you know, like they're like why were you?
Speaker 3: They'd have the same reaction to you, you know, kind
Speaker 3: of feeling a way about Cleveland sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Right, So sometimes that stuff just builds up over time.
Speaker 3: But like when it is there, you just got to
Speaker 3: recognize it and be like, Okay, it's still the same game.
Speaker 2: You know, there's no there's no hidden hex or something
Speaker 2: on this game or whatever. It's still baseball.
Speaker 3: Go do what you do, and more often than not,
Speaker 3: if you do the things the right way, you know
Speaker 3: the symptom of that's winning and you get over those things.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know if you heard the numbers, but
Speaker 6: what'd you say it was one twenty two and forty four.
Speaker 6: Scott was the Yankees records. It's two thousand and three
Speaker 6: against the Twins. They're eighty games over five hundred and
Speaker 6: against them in the last like twenty two years now.
Speaker 7: So for me, here's the thing.
Speaker 6: I was there two thousand and three in my last Twins,
Speaker 6: I went away, okay, but teams changed, Yankees changed, Twins changed.
Speaker 6: Is that just an organizational mindset? Because you know, they
Speaker 6: played in the playoffs, they got swept. Every time Yankees swept,
Speaker 6: the Twins played in wildcard games, they beat them, right?
Speaker 6: Is it because the press brings it up even though
Speaker 6: the players like, I don't know anything about that.
Speaker 7: I wasn't here, but you know the media.
Speaker 6: So do you think that could possibly creep in a
Speaker 6: team's head just because the media brings it up?
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess, I guess it could. Anything's possible.
Speaker 3: And you got to think about the turnover on those rosters, like.
Speaker 2: Oh, how far guys go back?
Speaker 3: It's not you know, it's it's not probably not much
Speaker 3: more between like twenty sixteen at this time, right, So
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, maybe sometimes that sneaks in and
Speaker 3: sometimes it just I don't know. Just sometimes there's just
Speaker 3: winning and there may not be another explanation for it,
Speaker 3: you know, it's just how it happens. But I mean,
Speaker 3: i'd like to think that like when that stuff gets
Speaker 3: brought up, you just I mean, all that stuff is
Speaker 3: you become aware of it as a player, because, like
Speaker 3: you said, the media is going to bring it up
Speaker 3: to you, but you go, you acknowledge it and just
Speaker 3: keep going about what you do. You know, it's it
Speaker 3: is weird. That's a crazy record though. It's a crazy,
Speaker 3: crazy stat going back that far.
Speaker 4: All right, since you're with the Cubs, who's the Cubs?
Speaker 4: Who's the Cubs rivalry with? Is it with Milwaukee? Because
Speaker 4: I played in Milwaukee and it's like Chicago Cubs fans
Speaker 4: love like ah, we come to at the time Miller
Speaker 4: Park and like, oh look how many Cubs fans there are.
Speaker 4: It's like, well, you're just too cheap to drive down
Speaker 4: to Chicago. Or is it with the Cardinals? So where's
Speaker 4: where's where's the rivalry really at with the Cubs? Now
Speaker 4: that you're in the organization and you can see it firsthand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think there's always but the historical
Speaker 3: one just because of time and the leagues is the Cubs, Cardinals,
Speaker 3: you know, like that's that's that's the reverie right there
Speaker 3: with the Yankees, Red Sox and the Giants and Dodgers
Speaker 3: that you hear about, right, It's one of the best
Speaker 3: rivalries in sports, I think. I think the proximity and
Speaker 3: since the Brewers came to the National League, you know,
Speaker 3: a handful of years ago, like and that that proximity
Speaker 3: of being you know, only an hour and a half
Speaker 3: apart makes that a fun rivalry too, you know. And
Speaker 3: I mean anytime you get to play like multiple games
Speaker 3: against quality ball clubs, you know what I mean, like
Speaker 3: or multiple games against anybody, you can always bring out something.
Speaker 3: So I've been playing in Milwaukee, it's it's always a
Speaker 3: fun environment there. I remember in twenty eighteen we went
Speaker 3: there for the last series of the year when they
Speaker 3: were pushing for a while or pushing for a playoff spot,
Speaker 3: and that was you we were with the Tigers and
Speaker 3: that was a great environment. And every time we've played
Speaker 3: there this year against the Brewers, it's always been a
Speaker 3: good environment. And you know, it's I love, I love
Speaker 3: all the games that you know, the fans get into
Speaker 3: I think it's awesome for baseball and whatnot.
Speaker 2: But I think they're both good rivalries. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to give any.
Speaker 3: Locker room talk or you know, bulletin board material for
Speaker 3: anything one's better than the other.
Speaker 7: That's funny.
Speaker 5: That's funny, Matthew.
Speaker 6: But I got to ask you this, are you guys
Speaker 6: sitting there going we have the third best record in
Speaker 6: the National League and we're six and a half games
Speaker 6: behind the Brewers. Have you guys gone to counsel and
Speaker 6: been like, hey, have you thought about putting some pancakes
Speaker 6: in your pocket or trying something different counts to keep
Speaker 6: up with these guys, because I mean, ten wins in
Speaker 6: a row, nine wins in a row, eight wins in
Speaker 6: a row, it's like they lose one, they win nine,
Speaker 6: they lose when they win ten.
Speaker 7: You're like, you guys have gotta be sitt there go.
Speaker 6: We're playing pretty damn well and we're losing ground rapidly,
Speaker 6: Like what is going on?
Speaker 3: I mean, it's hats off to them. They're playing great baseball,
Speaker 3: and obviously you want to, you know, have runs like
Speaker 3: they're having, and and that's it's amazing when you have them,
Speaker 3: But when it comes down to it.
Speaker 2: You got to be you.
Speaker 3: You acknowledge what they're doing, but it doesn't change what
Speaker 3: you do, right, and.
Speaker 2: Baseball is a crazy game. You know you can do
Speaker 2: You can do stuff.
Speaker 3: You can go on runs like that, you can have
Speaker 3: stretches where the balls just not rolling your way right,
Speaker 3: and despite it all, like you show up and you
Speaker 3: know what you expect yourself individually and collectively as a team.
Speaker 2: And sometimes that's harder than others.
Speaker 3: When you have a team, you know, like the Brewers
Speaker 3: and they're so hot right now, they're doing their thing
Speaker 3: and it's they you know they're they're a good ball club,
Speaker 3: you know, but we know how good we are too,
Speaker 3: and you know, you just go okay, like they're doing
Speaker 3: what they're doing. You trust that come September when it
Speaker 3: rolls around, like standings will be where you know, like
Speaker 3: they'll they'll they'll settle where they're supposed to be. But
Speaker 3: you just double down on what you're doing in those
Speaker 3: times and saying okay, like you can't let outside things
Speaker 3: change your process because that's when things start to go awry.
Speaker 3: And you know they're playing great baseball, but you know,
Speaker 3: we go out and we keep doing our thing, and
Speaker 3: we trust what we're doing, we trust our process, and
Speaker 3: you go from there.
Speaker 1: Hey, we love ripping slab packs on Arena Club. I
Speaker 1: just ripped one in a Ruby pack. Those are fancy
Speaker 1: schmancy kip and I pulled a matt Shaw twenty twenty
Speaker 1: three Bowman Draft Aqua Lunar Creator refractor card.
Speaker 5: And I guess what.
Speaker 2: Guess what?
Speaker 1: I got a little offer.
Speaker 2: You get the instant off or right away.
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're offering me one hundred and twenty one bucks,
Speaker 1: sell it back and then I can get a new
Speaker 1: slab pack.
Speaker 2: What do I do?
Speaker 8: I want to see this thing. Hold on, look at that.
Speaker 8: That's a beautiful card.
Speaker 7: You know what.
Speaker 8: I think that's a safe bet. I think it's gonna
Speaker 8: make you a little bit money. I think the more
Speaker 8: more big league time he gets, I'd almost take the deal, though,
Speaker 8: I'm in it for the chase. I like opening more packs.
Speaker 8: I think that one hundred and twenty one can buy
Speaker 8: you a couple more slabs to open, and uh, I
Speaker 8: think you keep chasing until you get someone you really like.
Speaker 7: But that's the best part about it for me.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 1: You can sell it back one hundred and twenty one
Speaker 1: bucks and then open up another slab pack Use the
Speaker 1: code foul to receive twenty percent off your first slab
Speaker 1: packer card purchase at arenaclub dot com slash foul.
Speaker 4: Can you put your finger on what makes Craig Council
Speaker 4: when he signed his contract the highest paid manager at
Speaker 4: the time. Obviously Dave Roberts now is higher, but like
Speaker 4: the value that he brings because I try to explain it,
Speaker 4: it probably it's better coming from somebody that sees him
Speaker 4: day in and day out, right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it was really like Steltony
Speaker 3: when I got to be around you know, Craig in
Speaker 3: spring training was just like the attention to detail over
Speaker 3: the course of one hundred and sixty two games, right Like,
Speaker 3: as you guys know, there can be things that that
Speaker 3: slide down like that slide that were focuses early and
Speaker 3: then they drift away, whether it's something as simple as
Speaker 3: holding runners or throwing behind the runner.
Speaker 2: Stuff that should be just.
Speaker 3: Like the attention to detail and trying to wind in
Speaker 3: the margins and all those different things.
Speaker 2: And I think from day one in spring.
Speaker 3: What really impressed me was counts, like demanding some of
Speaker 3: these things out of us, whether it was holding runners
Speaker 3: in bolt, like doing something as simple as like, hey,
Speaker 3: we want to be quick to the plate. We got
Speaker 3: to if we can eliminate extra bases, that's going to
Speaker 3: be huge for us. So in our first few bullpens,
Speaker 3: let's put an emphas on holding runners, like, you know,
Speaker 3: shouldn't be too much to ask when you're going through
Speaker 3: PFP's all these little things that may seem minuscule and
Speaker 3: small in the moment, those can win baseball games, you know,
Speaker 3: all through the stretch, and that can be the difference
Speaker 3: that when it comes to the end of September, you're
Speaker 3: going remember when we kept that guy on first instead
Speaker 3: of Thatch and he didn't it wasn't able to get
Speaker 3: that extra base, and then that ball that might have
Speaker 3: been a hit ended up being a double play and
Speaker 3: we're out of the inning. Like, those are the little
Speaker 3: things that can make differences over the course of the season.
Speaker 3: And I think counts being able to ask ask those
Speaker 3: things of us in a way that and he's such
Speaker 3: a good communicator too, you know, you know where you
Speaker 3: stand with him, and I just it's I think it's
Speaker 3: what elevates him as a leader.
Speaker 2: And it's been great, you know, and I mean.
Speaker 3: I've really appreciated it down to our picture talks, Like
Speaker 3: in spring training, it's like, hey, you know, the big
Speaker 3: thing for you is going to be healthy this year.
Speaker 3: Like you haven't done you haven't you haven't pitched you know,
Speaker 3: massi amount of innings since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: So it's going to be you got to communicate with me.
Speaker 2: I'm going to communicate with you.
Speaker 3: We're going to find ways to you know, do this
Speaker 3: and that to make this work so we can be
Speaker 3: pitching all the way through October. And it's just like
Speaker 3: having those conversation up front and then checking in on
Speaker 3: it and whether it's you know, something as simple as
Speaker 3: that or demanding we do something different in a baseball
Speaker 3: game to help us win games. Like it's awesome, and
Speaker 3: it's like you see why he had the success he
Speaker 3: had in Milwaukee and he's had as a manager, and
Speaker 3: and it's I'm so happy.
Speaker 2: To play for him. It's a lot of fun and
Speaker 2: you know, we got a great ball club.
Speaker 1: It's a great answer. I'm gonna ask you a fan
Speaker 1: question here. A lot of Cup fans watching on TV
Speaker 1: and in our chat on YouTube, Chris says boyd how
Speaker 1: or who taught you your move to first?
Speaker 2: That thing?
Speaker 1: Damn near a back dog. And I'll add to the
Speaker 1: question because I think it was your last start or
Speaker 1: the start before when it went a little viral. There
Speaker 1: was just people going back and forth on Twitter like it's.
Speaker 2: Not a bock because blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And I actually think like that's the form of social
Speaker 1: media that I really do enjoy where people are just
Speaker 1: debating a sports topic going on during a game in
Speaker 1: real time. So anyway, I don't know if you caught
Speaker 1: that at all, but your thoughts and your answer to
Speaker 1: Chris's question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Mark Yeshino, Bellevue Community College out by Seattle,
Speaker 3: Yosh taught me my pickoff move when I was at
Speaker 3: Bellevue Community College's summer baseball camp. Like it's a place
Speaker 3: where my dad, my mom and dad dropped me off
Speaker 3: when I was nine years old, and Yosh is a lefty.
Speaker 2: He kind of took a liking to me.
Speaker 3: Taught me my move then, and every off season I've
Speaker 3: just continued to go back and work on it with him.
Speaker 3: It's one of those things if you get an out,
Speaker 3: that's a bonus. If you can hold a base runner
Speaker 3: at first base and not get it out just because
Speaker 3: the threat of the move. I mean, that's that's a win.
Speaker 3: And those are kind of the little margins that like
Speaker 3: can make a difference. And we've gotten some more outs
Speaker 3: on it this year and that's been awesome. Tommy's helped
Speaker 3: me get toime with it too, temm me how to
Speaker 3: be because you know, it's one of those things where
Speaker 3: if you don't practice it, you can get into some
Speaker 3: bad habits, and those bad habits can tip a runner
Speaker 3: or whatnot. And I mean scatting reports, you know, spread
Speaker 3: like wildfire in this league. So if there's something that
Speaker 3: like you do that you know can help a base
Speaker 3: run or getting extra base or whatnot, you know, it's
Speaker 3: it'll get out there. So Tommy's been being a lefty
Speaker 3: has helped me, you know, stay sharp on it in
Speaker 3: the season. I think I've only been called on one
Speaker 3: bock on it on that move, and that was Joe
Speaker 3: West and he was hiring third base and there was
Speaker 3: a guy on third and he bockd a run in.
Speaker 3: It was a first and third and I picked off
Speaker 3: and and and and Joe called me for a bock.
Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen on that.
Speaker 3: But uh, I think that's the only back I've been
Speaker 3: called it going over And I know people, I mean
Speaker 3: getting thrown some mentions here and there, people very you know,
Speaker 3: passionate about my move on one way or the other.
Speaker 2: But it's a.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's never I haven't been called a bock
Speaker 3: on it, you know, And it's and it's I don't
Speaker 3: I don't think it breaks the rules at all, you know, so,
Speaker 3: but yeah, it's it's a weapon, and you know the
Speaker 3: goal whether it keeps a guy at first or gets
Speaker 3: it out either way, you know, it's it's something that's
Speaker 3: that's beneficial.
Speaker 7: Before you before we got a little bit off baseball.
Speaker 6: Mark Burley never got a ball called on him either
Speaker 6: until Joe West got him right, same thing because you
Speaker 6: know why, because Joe get picked off by the bitcher.
Speaker 7: He'd like, oh wait picked Oh wait, I'm not Oh
Speaker 7: he got me back. It has to be a buck, right.
Speaker 7: But he was up the first.
Speaker 6: I don't know if you've ever seen Burley throws his
Speaker 6: glove up in the air, gets subjected.
Speaker 7: Ozzie comes out and gets subjected.
Speaker 6: It was in Cleveland, Okay, next time Burley started Joe
Speaker 6: West was like Angel. It was Joe and Angel Hernandez
Speaker 6: on the same crew, so we had Angel Hernandez at home.
Speaker 6: Joe was like, it's second or first, And I told Mark,
Speaker 6: I go listen, if you throw over, you're gonna have
Speaker 6: to give the most generic move in the world, like
Speaker 6: pick your leg up and just go to first.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 6: So we call throw over and sure enough, picks his like,
Speaker 6: I mean, the most obvious, like I'm going to first,
Speaker 6: woom back by Angel Hernandez the homeplate umpire, I'm like,
Speaker 6: I knew it. I can't believe it. And they just
Speaker 6: did it to prove the point that Burley's boot move
Speaker 6: was a back, even though he literally did like the
Speaker 6: most generic like hey guys, I'm going to first, and
Speaker 6: you're like, yeah.
Speaker 7: It was unbelievable, unbelievable. So Angel's gone now so you
Speaker 7: don't have to worry about that. So it was but
Speaker 7: just be careful, Oh I will, I will.
Speaker 2: He really had a good move.
Speaker 3: That was he was. He was on the Blue Jays
Speaker 3: when I got u when I got called up. It
Speaker 3: was a quick minute, but yeah, that was a It's fun.
Speaker 3: It's fun to watch all the lefties move too. I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, Freed, Freed's got a great one. Showed has
Speaker 3: got a really good one too. He got a guy
Speaker 3: this week. So that was that was so it was
Speaker 3: fun to watch, all right.
Speaker 5: So my question is July and August.
Speaker 4: I try to tell people when I played, like people
Speaker 4: say the dog Days. What I liked about July and
Speaker 4: August in baseball was dudes start getting pissed off at
Speaker 4: each other.
Speaker 5: Do you have any good.
Speaker 4: Like, because because the season just grinds on and like
Speaker 4: some people like aren't doing as well, it's hot, all
Speaker 4: that stuff, do you have any good stories about dudes
Speaker 4: getting mad at each other at the end of the
Speaker 4: season that kind of like then you know, fizzled out
Speaker 4: and everybody everybody calmed down.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if I have any good
Speaker 3: stories that I can recollect. They definitely happened, They didn't
Speaker 3: mean a lot of it's over a little petty stuff
Speaker 3: over the course of the year. I will say this
Speaker 3: and and and he's probably gonna get mad at me
Speaker 3: for telling us. But last night a team dinner, Bridge
Speaker 3: was just angry the food couldn't come fast.
Speaker 2: Enough and h and.
Speaker 3: It's like dang Bradge, like can we just enjoy your
Speaker 3: show dinner man and and have some fun and like
Speaker 3: once he got fed, he was all happy. But but
Speaker 3: but I think you start to see little things like
Speaker 3: that where on and most of it when you have
Speaker 3: a good perspective, it's pretty comical in hindsight. But uh yeah,
Speaker 3: as you guys know, you can get around some guys
Speaker 3: over the year that get a little salty. It's one
Speaker 3: cool thing about this ball club is that, you know,
Speaker 3: I we we got some good guys, and we got
Speaker 3: some really good attitudes, and we had a team This
Speaker 3: last team flight coming into Toronto, I think was our
Speaker 3: best team flight so far. You know, guys are always like.
Speaker 2: Guys are, Guys are talking, Guys are in the aisle
Speaker 2: having a good time.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to give us in trouble with FA or
Speaker 3: anything like that, but like, you know, like it's a
Speaker 3: good time on the plane, good time on the bus,
Speaker 3: on the mic. And I think that speaks to you know,
Speaker 3: where you're at with your ball club.
Speaker 2: It's pretty fun.
Speaker 3: Guys enjoy being around each other despite how the season's going,
Speaker 3: despite how our individual seasons are going. And we got
Speaker 3: a lot of good veterans and justin Turner and you
Speaker 3: know Dan's and and Happer, like you know, we keep
Speaker 3: guys light and uh and you know, give guys a
Speaker 3: hard time when you're supposed to, but guys are lying
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 2: So we're in a good spot with this ball club.
Speaker 3: But you know, as you know, there's stuff this time
Speaker 3: of year can get pretty petty at times, and it's
Speaker 3: a it's always a good time when it does happen.
Speaker 7: All right, Matthew.
Speaker 6: First of all, you guys probably went to Barbarians and
Speaker 6: for everybody, I don't know if they still go there,
Speaker 6: but that's where everyone used to go back in the day.
Speaker 7: I'm sure you've probably been there. It's good.
Speaker 2: We did Jacob's last We did Jacobs.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, all right, fair enough.
Speaker 6: Hey have you ever did you ever know Woogie or
Speaker 6: did you ever know are you a fan of the
Speaker 6: forty nine ers of the Dolphins? Because you look like
Speaker 6: Matt Dylon from Something about Mary The whole time I'm
Speaker 6: sitting here looking at you and I'm going, do you
Speaker 6: have something in his air?

Speaker 2: I've heard the Matt Dylon guy. I've heard the Matt
Speaker 2: Dylan comparison quite a bit. That's a good looking guy,
Speaker 2: so I'll take that.
Speaker 3: No, he is.
Speaker 7: He's in some great movies too, so yeah, definitely.
Speaker 5: I mean listen.
Speaker 2: Character and something about Mary.
Speaker 6: You know, yes, it wasn't it's not cruel intentions. What
Speaker 6: was the one with Denise Richards and Wild Things?
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was. You should have been Matt Dylan in
Speaker 7: that movie because that was a good character to be.
Speaker 5: There, just saying.
Speaker 1: Young, handsome Matt Dylon.
Speaker 2: That's good. I get a guy from Peloton too, but
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't have a pell.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
