00:00We heard went from Jed's comments was like a concession that 2024
00:05This bunch is not
00:07Good enough or this team to the it has not played good enough. He still expressed overall positivity
00:13but
00:14does do you believe this team still is good enough to rally and
00:19And and and be playoff viable
00:22At this absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean I think
00:25Look, the the standings indicate that we're not a playoff team right now
00:29And and you can't ignore that
00:32but we still have
00:3360 58 opportunities in front of us to change that
00:37And and that's how you approach it. Um, so

01:26That's why we're having these conversations
01:28but I don't I don't mean that the
01:30You can we're always gonna the baseball has so many results that it leads to like constant evaluation
01:36Yeah, um, you know, we look at it as like we have opportunity to still get ourselves back into it and and
01:41And judge or judges at the end of the season
