00:00And the problem continues to be, you don't score runs.
00:05So then it becomes, all right, well,
00:08you got the manager that was supposed to help you
00:11win the games in the margin.
00:13And I don't know if we've paid close enough attention.
00:17Because we all like Craig Council too.
00:19And we all think that he's really smart.
00:22But have we not done a good job of actually spotlighting
00:27the things that we were just talking about
00:29and saying, aren't these the things
00:32that the best manager in the game
00:34or the highest paid manager in the game
00:36is supposed to have a better grasp on
00:39when to push the button on some of those choices.
00:43And they're not great choices.
00:44And I'm gonna give Craig that.
00:46He doesn't have a lot of great choices,
00:49but isn't he supposed to be the guy
00:51that pushes the buttons and pushes the right buttons
00:54at the right time?
00:55I want more chicken salad and less chicken crap.
00:58And-
00:59You want egg salad.
01:00Well, that's different.
01:00Yeah.
01:01I always want egg salad.
01:02Yeah, that messed me up because he was-
01:03But that's not the metaphor.
01:04You don't say it because there's no egg crap
01:07you can make egg salad out of.
01:08So my belief is that if you chose this life,
01:13like that's the thing about last night's outcome.
01:16You chose this.
01:18This is what you wanted.
01:20This is what you, and the pitching was fine.
01:23The bullpen's been great.
01:25The bullpen's been brilliant since June.
01:28And you can't hit the ball out of the ballpark.
01:31And you choose to make your life difficult
01:34and you want to bitch about umpires
01:35and you want to, that's a terrible call
01:37or this should have been a strike out
01:38or they didn't go around, but it shouldn't be about that.
01:41You just have to worry about it.
