00:00This is like a Bill Belichick answer, but I'm just focused on my next start in Cincinnati.
00:07I know how Counts likes to do things, and he's a great communicator,
00:12but I also know he doesn't like to get too far ahead of himself.
00:16So, you know, he would never tell me, like, oh, you're going to be in the bullpen,
00:20and then if, God forbid, if someone got injured, he would feel bad saying, like,
00:23oh, now you're going to start.
00:24So he kind of waits until decisions need to be made to make them.
00:29And then he's obviously great at communicating them from there.
00:32But I really have no idea, and it's kind of exciting.
00:35Like, I don't care.
00:37I just want to help and participate, and, you know, whatever's needed of me,
00:41I'm happy to do it.
00:43So there's no ego here.
00:44I know how hard it is to get into October.
00:47I know there's a lot of great players that don't have those opportunities.
00:50So, like, I'm just more than happy to just be a part of it.
00:56Really?
00:56Any role will do.
00:57No, it's a great answer.
00:59It's a great answer.
00:59But, I mean.
01:00I mean, no, really.
01:02Yeah, when I was younger, I probably would have cared more.
01:05But now it's like, I mean, on the starting side, we've got Cade Horton,
01:10who's had one of the best second halves of all time.
01:12And then we've got Shota and Boyd, who have been unbelievable for us.
01:16So, you know, we've got some great starting pitching options.
01:20And, you know, I know it's going to take all of us to get to where we want to go.
01:25So for that first series, who knows?
01:28And then, you know, going forward, I'm happy to do whatever.
