00:00And I mean, we can talk about like, you know, if you deploy Munoz in that spot, you know, Munoz ended up getting hit around the yard a little bit and then even got bailed out by 105 mile an hour line out double play. So we can Monday morning quarterback that thing all we want. Munoz, like maybe it would have been different if he was up a run, but I think everybody, the consensus was you go to your best arm in a spot where you got two on top of the order, one out, whatever.
00:24They didn't, but ultimately, you know, I, you don't know what would have happened. And again, Munoz got hit hard anyways. I still feel like you have to look at this year if you're a Mariners fan and I think feel really encouraged. I know they don't want to hear it right now, but you have the core of players here that, you know, I don't think are going anywhere. Of course, Julio and Cal are as good of a one-two punch now as you've got, you know, just about anywhere. But then you wonder what's going to happen with Gino and Naylor. They're going to try to probably keep the ladder, but I still think you feel really good about the one-two punch.
00:54The rotation's still in control. The bullpen's still really good. And you'd hope that they'd use some money to go make some signings because they definitely generated a lot of revenue through this game seven. And, you know, they finally showed some willingness to be aggressive. I think at the deadline, I thought they were rewarded for it. I still think that's, if you go all in at the deadline and you lose in game seven of the ALCS, I think you're validated in going all in at the deadline.
01:19So I think it was all worthwhile. I think Naylor ended up being one of the best pickups, you know, of the off season. Gino, it didn't go great, but that's why the market didn't end up being that much for a rental bad. I don't think you're going to lose sleep over what you gave up there. All things considered, they didn't compromise the future. They still have one of the best farm systems. They were one game away from the world series and you hope that you can get back there. But there is work to do this off season because you're going to lose Naylor. You're going to lose Suarez. And that's not easy pieces to just make up.
