00:00Well, I was not surprised that he gets sent down. That's one. This is a league where, you know, performance matters. You're a team that's trying to win, so you've got to get production out of every spot, and if you're not producing, something else has to happen.
00:17For Matt, I think he is very unconventional, but some of those, as we've talked about, Mike, some of those things that are unconventional aren't, you know, they're not the end of the world, and it's not so unique that they can't be, you know, they can't be incorporated into a guy's big league approach to hitting.
00:39The part that I saw that, you know, there's a couple things that's got to happen. One, he's got to find, like, this baseline of things that I do in my swing that I do every single time that I can go to that are my, I do this in my setup, I do this in my leg kick, and when I start my swing, this is what I'm trying to accomplish every single time, you know, and a lot of that has to do with your head discipline.
01:08In your eyes. And I just felt like he's a young player, and he got to the point where, you know, you didn't see any of that. You didn't see where, you know, the normal ABCs that you have to do every time, he was missing some of those.
01:28You know, you were seeing different things all the time. And he's just got to go down there and make sure somebody can be there with him to give him some of those things.
01:38I was just watching, and you cannot hit in the big leagues when your head is moving as much as his head was moving forward towards the pitcher.
01:47You cannot. It does not work. I don't care what the name is on the back of your jersey. You give Ted Williams a chance to hit in his prime and say your head has to move a foot towards the pitcher when you're trying to swing, he's going to hit 200.
02:02It's just the way it is. It's not going to work. And that's what Matty was falling into that trap.
