Hey, Robin. Yeah, thanks for having me. Appreciate it. We heard yesterday, Alex Gora was talking about you being first in, and you're here every morning, bright and early.

So the boss, you get gold stars with the boss for arriving early.

What time you get here?

Well, actually, I got here a little later today, but, you know, usually try to get here pretty early, knocked a lift out.

Anywhere between 550 and 545 to 6, 615-ish.

Early bird gets the worm.

That's what they say.

Yeah, exactly.

He was kind of given a little bit of credit from a leadership perspective to Alex Bregman when it came to that.

I don't know if you agree or not, but saying that that guy kind of taught you guys,

the youngs, kind of the ways of the world yeah yeah for

sure he was uh he was awesome you know obviously didn't get a ton of time with him but got to spend you know

my first big league camp around him last year when when we signed him and then um got to spend that

uh the period of time that i spent in the big leagues with him.

Obviously, they didn't get the full year, but just the time that I was there with him.

And then for me coming up and him being injured when I was there, almost being like a hitting

coach to me and just being there for me, you know, with the hitting coaches and constantly

helping me out. And then, you know, same thing when he was playing. He was such a great leader. Um, you know, but not just him. We have, we have a lot of great guys that, that, uh, you know, veteran guys that lead the way, you know, Trevor and Willie now and even Jaron and Rob last year. There's many guys you go down on the list and uh i think

that's why we we mesh so well you know the young guys the veteran guys um we all help each other out
