Moving on to the offense a little bit.

You know, man, this is, this is a big concern with me.

Let's start with Michael Bush here in the Michael Bush situation because, again, and I keep harping back to it.

I'm not in disagreement that the decision that Jed made to trade Chris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo or not give Anthony Rizzo

$100 million.

I probably possibly like personally I would have done that.

I would have done five for 100 and not thought twice about it.

And I think he would have been a serviceable player.

My problem with it is that they have never gone out to sufficiently supplant and replace those players

at those two cornerstone positions. Enter Michael Bush. Now, we all know that he had that wonderful

home run streak in the middle of the season, but I'm just going to read some stats off to you

really quick over his last 90 at bats. Larry's slash line 178, 269 on base, 289 slug at home. He's only hitting 205, slug in 370 at home with a 638

OPS with runners in scoring position, 152, 244, 273. I mean, this is a guy that by and large has been in that

3, 4, 5 of the lineup for most of the year.

Is your patience starting to wear thin?

Because I think mine is, unfortunately, because it's a results-based business, and we know Bellinger can play first.

And you've got options in the outfield amongst the minor leagues.

Some of them, you already mentioned with PCA and Brennan Davis.

So what's your patience level right now with Michael Bush?

Well, that is going to be tested.

Oddly enough, you might notice I was looking down on my phone.

He did Homer tonight.
