00:00With the lefty, you ultimately went with Ben Rice in there at first base.
00:03How difficult was that decision between him and Goldschmidt?
00:07And ultimately, why did you go with Rice?
00:11Yeah, it was a tough decision.
00:15I just think, you know, the way Benny's going right now,
00:20you know, the impact he's having, the ability to change a game,
00:25the presence in the box right now, really over the last few weeks,
00:29and, you know, understanding, not knowing how they're going to deploy everything,
00:35having that true balance in the lineup.
00:40And then I wanted Wellesley in the game behind the plate, you know,
00:44where he's, I feel like, been really, really good back there and swinging the bat well.
00:48And, you know, and then it gives you kind of some, you know,
00:53a real weapon with Goldie on the bench to, you know, in a big spot,
00:59or hopefully for defense late if we're, you know, winning.
01:05So a difficult, ultimately, call, but one that I felt like was the right thing to do.
01:11We're good.
