Jose Iglesias is the second baseman. I think Mandy has finally listened to us.

I think he's finally listened to the RICO. Not that he has to get that from the RICO. All he's got to do

is watch Jose Iglesias play every freaking day and he'll know Jose Iglesias needs to play every day.

So I'm certainly not you know taking credit for that

but the more I watch DJ and Jeff McNeil and even Harrison Bader really cool off.

I don't mean to offend you, Pete, but Harrison Bader has gotten himself into a little bit of a tail spin where you start to wonder like are we getting the second

half production from Bader that we got in the first half because he's isn't he like old for his last

18 or something like that it's not good yeah and today he got on in game three he got on with a

what is it like a random like

error by by Lopez or whatever the yeah it was the taper in front of the catcher

and then Nick Forecast threw it up the first baseline.

Yeah, so that was his one time on base.

Yeah, and so, so it's at that point now, listen,

he's just struggled, but we've had,

we've seen a lot of players struggle this year, so I'm not going to pull the plug on him just yet because for a long time he played pretty well.

But I do have to do, I have the defense Jeff McNeil for one second here because there were some quotes this weekend

which made me happy because I was right this whole time and he talked about how he's trying to adjust his swing because and I don't want to we're not making the blame game here but he said lack of shift has definitely hurt him he used to try to see the ball, place the ball in certain areas,

and he can't do that anymore because of the lack of shift. So now he's just trying to pull it.

He's just trying to take it, he's just trying to hit the ball. He doesn't he's not trying to see the ball and like put a place it somewhere. He's just trying to hit the ball.

Why is it not affected Louisa Rise? You know Louisa Rise is a very similar hitter in which his exit Vilo is one of the lowest in the league,

his batsbeat, some of the lowest in the league, but he places the ball in perfect spots and he

ends up winning batting titles every single year and I know you've said
