00:00How do you deal with that, that an anonymous player says that you hope to be traded to the Yankees?
00:06Yeah, I mean, I was frustrated for a couple hours and then, you know, kind of got over it and talked to the media later that night.
00:17You know, it is what it is. There's stuff that's going to come out, you know, good and bad.
00:23It's, you know, obviously it's not true.
00:25I think the hardest part of leaving Air Force for me was, you know, we had just won a conference championship, the first one in the school's history.
00:38And, you know, we built that and it felt like there was unfinished work that needed to be done.
00:46So that's how it feels right now. We're, you know, we won the national championship or the conference championship at Air Force.
00:55Um, that's, that's what is on the horizon for us. We just have to do it.
01:00And leaving before that would, you know, leave a bad taste in my mouth because there wasn't, you know, there was work to be done that we didn't do.
01:07Yeah. And I think this has happened because there's no salary cap and we look at smaller markets.
01:13Good play, you know, Garrett Cole, when he was with the Pirates, it's like, how long can these smaller market teams keep players?
01:19So you're just the latest, there'll be somebody that comes after you and, you know, they'll be doing the same thing.
01:26Yeah. I mean, I'm, I'm not the first person, um, not the first person that's, that's, you know, been through this, uh, done this.
01:34And I'm not, I'm not the last, um, you know, it's just, it, it all comes down to how you look at it, right?
01:41Like you can, you can just be bitter at the world and pissed off, um, or you can, you know, fight to, to do what's right.
01:50Make it right. Um, you know, when, um, those are kind of the, the two paths.
01:56Cause you cannot, like the bar only moves one way. It only goes up. Um, and for, you know, that's the goal.
02:05Basically it very easily could go down if you let it go down. Um, so you just got to keep fighting to, to raise the bar, um, you know, for us in Pittsburgh, but, um, for the next player, wherever, wherever that is.
