00:00And moving forward, what are some things that I should be,
00:03other than wins, obviously, Lou, but what
00:05are some of the things, this is a developmental year,
00:07should I still be looking for over these next two months?
00:11Well, I think you hit on it.
00:13It still is, it's a developmental year
00:14for a lot of these guys.
00:15And I was on a very young team in 0-4 in Cleveland,
00:20and we were just young.
00:21And we were in it like this the whole time.
00:23And then it was like August, past the deadline,
00:26maybe mid-August or so.
00:27And all of a sudden, it got real.
00:29Like we were really being talked about being
00:31in this playoff race.
00:32And some of the young kids tightened up a little bit.
00:35That's something I think that can be helpful for this team.
00:37Hopefully, they can stay in it long enough
00:39and see what this big September series is.
00:41I feel like every series, we're like, oh, it's
00:43a big series against the Yankees.
00:45Well, it's a big series against the Royals.
00:47Everything's a big series.
00:48And this is what baseball is the last two months
00:51when you're in it.
00:52So how do they react?
00:53Do they still stay calm?
00:54Are they still so young they don't know any better?
00:56Or do they start realizing that they're in a playoff race
00:58and tighten up a little bit?
00:59So that's just, well, and if they do, then, OK,
01:02that's something to learn on for next year.
01:04But I think those experiences for this young group,
01:06I think, is very important.
01:08And I'm curious to see them moving forward,
01:10if they all just sort of stay calm and play
01:11the game the way they have been.
