00:00With Volpe, he had two big at-bats there on the offensive end,
00:03but obviously the errors.
00:04Do you think that's becoming a little bit mental?
00:06Yeah, I mean, we've got to get over it.
00:08You know, we've got to get through it.
00:10You know, one thing for certain, he's really, really good out there,
00:15and he's clearly had some struggles and, you know,
00:18a little indecisive with that last throw.
00:20Like, you know, and not that, you know, it's a short hop there,
00:24but, you know, we can't be indecisive there.
00:26And he'll get through it.
00:28You know, but obviously there's been some tough moments here.
00:33And, you know, but for a very talented defender, he will get through it,
00:38and we've got to get him there.
00:40Do you feel like he's falling into that category where he kind of plays
00:43and not make mistakes?
00:45Maybe on a couple throws.
00:46Like, I felt like that last throw, there was that extra tap, like, you know,
00:49making sure, you know, because you secure it.
00:52It's, you know, should be an easy completion there.
00:54And, you know, just being more decisive there.
00:58I actually don't.
00:59He plays aggressively.
01:01And going this week, you know, he's, you know, coming out of, you know,
01:05Toronto, he's made a lot of really good plays this week.
01:07And that's, we know he's capable of that.
01:10And, you know, you know, but, you know, I think there's been some plays
01:15where he's probably felt it a little bit.
01:17You know, believe it or not, a lot of us have been in those defensive slump places.
01:23And, you know, you kind of got to get through it, especially when you're as capable
01:28and talented as he is out there.
01:31You know, he's going to grow from this, learn from it, and come out on the other side.
01:37And we got to get him, help him get it there.
01:38There have been times in past years where you've sat down a guy for a couple days
01:42to give him a mental break.
01:44Have you thought about that with Volpe or someone like that who plays every day?
01:48Can it even, can it help him or can it hurt him just sitting there thinking about it
01:51for 18 innings or so?
01:53I don't know.
01:53I'm not going to answer that now.
01:55We just ended the game.
