00:00we were talking about PCA and stardom and how to handle that you know how how do you suggest

00:08that PCA handle all of the attention that he he is deservedly getting where people look up and

00:17he's noted as a an MVP candidate and he's top three in war in baseball how do you guys help

00:26him deal with that and does he even need any help dealing with that um yeah I mean I think we we've

00:33got a pretty great situation in our clubhouse as far as the people that he has around him and not

00:40that he he needs a ton of help but I think we got a nice combination of of veterans and people that

00:46are pumped to see him succeed but you know also give him a healthy amount of grief when he does

00:51things that are um uh unique and so uh it's it's all part of it and it's part of the fun of a season

01:02and if any suggestions from my end it would just be to continue to be himself and continue to make

01:09the energy that he brings every day about winning and about the group and uh he's done that and and

01:21on the field doing early work like there's a lot going on behind the scenes that people don't see

01:26and uh you know I hope that's not lost on people all the work that he's done like he is an incredible

01:32talent but to improve this much at the major league level takes a ton of work and it's not by chance

01:37he's he's really earned earned that and it's going to keep developing who knows what he can be how is

01:43he at uh taking the grief when you choose to it's great I mean it was I mean just yesterday I was

01:48thinking about yesterday when he joked it up all and just he was just immediately laughing afterwards

01:53and um you know everyone was having a good time we had like printed out pictures of it in the locker

01:59room and all that stuff but um but that's also like hey I think he's like you got to be a little

02:06delusional I think to do special things as an athlete and like expect yourself to do the incredible

02:12and I would way rather play with someone who's on that end of it than like who's cautious and nervous

02:18to make a mistake
