It was awful. I mean, we, we
accomplished nothing. We, we didn't win a division
, didn't make it to the playoffs, didn't win
a series in the playoffs, much less a championship
. Uh, you know, I went over the
winning record. That's a requirement as far as I'm
concerned. So the fans uh didn't get anywhere close
to what they deserve. But, you know,
we're all very passionate about this. We're, we're
working our off and, um, you know,
we're gonna do everything we can to right the ship
for 2024 but uh bad year everything is on the
table when it comes to free agents. So any
anybody comes to me with, with a deal a
piece that we feel we need to do what we
need to do in 2024 that I'm, I'm gonna
strongly consider it. Yes. Um you know,
clearly bringing in this outside company to look at our
analytics, you know, we're going to look at
their uh systems and their processes that they use to
analyze data and make decisions and also from their experience
with, with other major league clubs that they've,
that they've worked with. Clearly, that's gonna be
a big deal. We're obviously getting a new hitting
coach. Um, that's gonna be a significant deal
. We, we did not get where we needed
to be with run production last year. I think
one of the misconceptions that's out there because I hear
it from a lot of people Boone makes every decision
in the dugout during a game based on analytics.
That's just not true. I mean, analytics gives
Boone and the coaches a lot of information. So
do the pro scouts. It's up to Boone during
the game, you know, when he puts the
line up together and then everything after what he wants
to do with all that information. I mean,
honestly, if you ask the, the analyst,
they'll probably say that too many times. Boone makes
a decision during the game that's based on his experience
what he's seeing his intuition. Uh but it's not
the case here. So I just think people need
to understand that the most important thing, yes,
is winning championships. I, so that I understand
where you're going with that. But if a manager
doesn't have the respect of his players and the players
don't want to play and win for him, uh
, that would always be a problem with me,
but in talking to current players, as I told
you, I did, um, that's absolutely not
the case and, and that's, that's a big
deal to me in the clubhouse.
