Chad, I just want to be clear with the next couple weeks of you discussing third base a lot internally.

So well done.

Matt Shaw and Matt Spiegel got together last night at Wildfire for the Cubs on deck series.

How'd that go? So well. I love that series. Appreciate

Wildfire and Huntington Bank for putting it together. And you know, it's 60 minutes with a cub

in a room with like 70 people, 75 people, and you're not broadcast, and so it can get comfortable,

it can get funny.

That dude was really good.

I did not expect him to be a great talker in that setting.

I have not really talked to him much in the clubhouse.

I don't know if you have, or if any of our guys have, but he was funny. He was smooth. He was self-aware. He was comfortable. He was easy to like and easy to believe in. You know what I mean? You could see it from the scouting perspective. Like, oh, I get why everybody has always liked you. I get that. That's just just coming off him he brought up the dropped pop-up

on his own from yesterday what did he say about it after because i was praising a question about praising

his defense he's like oh you didn't uh must not have seen the game today then where your flip

downs at son he said he didn't lose it in the sun liar he said i just missed it didn't lose it

didn't lose it laura it's hold said he didn't lose it in the sun. Liar. He said, I just missed it. Didn't lose it.

Larr, it's hold.

He said he didn't lose the sun.

He just missed it.

And in the Q&A later,

you'd like this,

that a dude asked him about Dansby calling him off of a pop-up the night before,

because it clearly looked like Shaw was a little miffed at that.
