00:00but what's the game plan here in the short term for Adolis well I think you know we've we've talked
00:21to Adolis about some of the mechanical changes that we think are necessary um you know we do
00:26believe athletically that this guy is still in his prime that he can be the same player close to the
00:31same player that he was in 2023 and with a couple little changes um that he can really bounce back
00:37and um you know we're working through those right now sometimes those changes are hard to make in
00:41competition um for the reasons I identify the guys have they lack confidence they don't feel
00:46comfortable and it's hard to ask them to go compete when they're changing things so some of it's a
00:50matter of just how quickly we can make these changes with Adolis how quickly he can buy into
00:54these changes and feel good with them and then you know another aspect of this is who's performing
01:00I mean you know we're getting Evan Carter back tomorrow um we'll have Wyatt Evan Osuna Sam
01:05Haggerty's been playing very very well all in the outfield Josh Smith can play outfield now that
01:09Corey's going to be back at short more so you know for Adolis like as much as he is you know a
01:15important piece to us there's also a performance aspect to this that he needs to perform and over
01:20the last 45 days he has not performed at a level um that that you know that it's going to help us
01:26win that like we need and so we you know we do need better from him you know he's a he's a legend and
01:32and he was amazing and he still is and he's so talented and he's beloved by the fans and the clubhouse
01:37so I wouldn't ask this question easily but did did him being out like spark the lineup in any way
01:43either psychologically or or just you know production wise
01:46I don't think so I think these guys are professionals and we've got really good
01:51players and I think just really you know we put some hot players in the lineup with Haggerty and
01:56Osuna um and they got extra playing time mainly because Adolis didn't play and you know they did
02:02some things that helped us win maybe in a different way than you know Adolis can hit a home run at any
02:06point um but the quality of the bat and the approach um you know hasn't been to the level that we need
02:12recently and then Haggerty and Osuna have had you know very good quality at bats and um you know
02:17they each laid down some bunts this weekend something we haven't been doing much of um they
02:20can steal bases and you know when the offense isn't slugging um we've got to find ways to create and uh
02:27and these are different players who um provide a different style that has allowed us to you know score
02:33some runs and um we'll see where it goes
02:35you
