00:00I think Jack and Hernandez shouldn't make a story about Rushing-Ohtani drama too much.
00:06Ohtani has moved on. There is no drama between them.
00:09Well, good thing we've spent 20 minutes here today.
00:13Here's kind of the thing, right? It's like, yeah, look, this is a big deal.
00:17And, you know, this kind of reminds me, and look, and I wrote, you know, when it happened,
00:21that Rushing was kind of at this crossroads of sorts in his career, right?
00:25Not of sorts, I said he was at a crossroads in his career.
00:27It reminds me a little bit, kind of going back to 2020 with Will Smith, right?
00:31When, you know, the World Series, he, right, you know, Austin Barnes caught more than we thought he was going
00:36to catch because...
00:39Caught more than Will Smith.
00:39Yeah, right. And Will Smith had to kind of make a decision there, right?
00:43What am I going to do about this? And am I going to kind of learn how to kind of
00:47guide a pitching staff?
00:48And obviously, you know, I mean, in some ways, one thing this Rushing thing did was,
00:53I mean, people are talking about Will Smith like he's Yadier Molina now, right?
00:56I mean, but, you know, Will Smith did kind of has made that, like, an emphasis of his.
01:01And so, look, Rushing is kind of in that spot.
01:04And you can sit here and say we're making too big of a deal about this.
01:08But, look, and I'm saying this as somebody who really appreciates Dalton Rushing's presence on this team, right?
01:13This otherwise really, really boring team.
01:16I mean, the two guys that have been interesting on a week-to-week basis have been Dalton Rushing and
01:19Roki Sasaki.
