 Aaron, how will you line up your pitchers this series? Garrett will go game one, Nestor in game two, Sevian game three. What made you decide to do it that way? What were the conversations like you had mentioned? There were going to be a lot of conversations about what direction you guys wanted to go for 1, 2, and 3. Yeah, I mean, this is one of the areas of our club that, you know, I'm really excited about heading into the postseason. You know, I feel like all three of those guys and then some, you know, if you want to throw J-mo and Domingo into the mix, you know, we can go match up with other teams, pitchers, and feel like this is the best way to line it up as we, you know, embark on our goal to win the championship. And will Matt Carpenter be on the ALDS roster? I fully expect that. He looks great. You know, he's been getting all his live at bats, actually took Nestor deep yesterday. But he looks good swinging the bat. So I am expecting that. Eric. Is Chapman on their postseason roster? Chappy will not be on the postseason roster. He was scheduled to be here Friday as part of our workout with Alive was not what I thought was an acceptable excuse. So I've had him stay away for now. Did he go back to Miami? He is in Miami, yeah. Did you get an explanation? Is it not an acceptable? Yeah, I just felt like him not being here was not OK. And I just felt like it was best for him to stay away for now. Did he take a difficult decision out of your hands? Was he going to be on the postseason roster? I think there was a chance he absolutely could have been. You know, we're still actually getting ready to start those conversations now. So excuse me. So he may have been, it's a mood point now. And then your discussions on how you would go with the rotation. How much consideration did you give to someone other than Cole starting game one? Well, like I said, with those three guys, I really like where they're at and feel like we stack up really well in all three. So I at least considered every angle. But ultimately decided this the way we wanted to go. Brian to the left. Chapman, you said not an acceptable excuse. What was his excuse? He wasn't here and he was supposed to have a live. And so I think he questioned whether he was going to be on the roster or not. But he needed to be here. And are you ruling him out for the whole postseason or just this first round? I don't want to necessarily do that. But for this round, yes. Brian to the left. Can I ask you how disappointing that is for you considering his status in the clubhouse, considering his status among the relief pitchers to be put in that situation? I mean, I was disappointed. Yeah, I was disappointed. I felt that, you know, yeah, I was disappointed that he wasn't here for that. But we've got to move on and get ready for a really good opponent. Dan to the right. Have you made a decision on LaMahue? Have not. He'll have a light workout today, moving around. He'll probably get some live at bats tomorrow. Have not made that decision yet. How about Hicks and Ben Intendi? Hicks, what do you mean? He's going to be on the roster. We haven't had a roster meeting yet. So we'll probably have that. We're doing our advance later today. And we'll start to really dive in on roster stuff. Andrew seems like a long shot for me for this round. He is getting close. He is starting to hit some live. He's getting better every day. So I don't want to totally rule it out. But I'm not necessarily expecting it. Wandy's OK? Wandy's good. Meredith. Aaron Giancarlo was just in here. And he had mentioned that with Carpenter just coming back, didn't think the outfield would be in play for him. So maybe he would try to take some reps during these workouts to see if he's an option there. Do you expect to use him in that capacity at all in the postseason? Giancarlo in the outfield? It is something he and I have talked about. So as long as he's feeling good, making sure he's getting his work out there. So I don't anticipate it necessarily early in this series. But I want it in there. So it's a potential option. So G and I are on board with that. Eric, can I have Chris? What is your read on the Guardians as a first-round bonnet? Excuse me. Obviously, a team that's young and really come of age in the second half and kind of ran away with the division at the end, played a lot of meaningful games where they've performed at a really high level. And obviously, played two close games with the Rays. And it's a team that's athletic, that plays really good defense, a deep pitching staff. And I think a team that's playing with a lot of confidence. They had to go out and take the division down the stretch. And they did that. Then they had to go beat a really good opponent in the first round. They did that, all doing it in close games. So it's a young group that has played well in meaningful situations. So it's playoff. It's going to be hard. It's going to be a challenge to play really good opponents. So look forward to that opportunity. Look forward to playing and hopefully being able to move on. But no, our work's cut out for us. Chris. Given with how the schedule breaks down, have you decided if a three-man starting rotation is what you'll do, or is that still to be decided? Right now, I would lean that way. But that would to be decided. I think a lot depends on Jamo's role moving forward with us in the bullpen in this series, which I think could be significant. I think it could be really an important role for us. So we'll see how we use there. But he certainly would fall into the mix later. But the way it lines up, I lean a little more our three-man. James, back right. Hey, Aaron, two quick questions. Regarding Chapman just circling back, is there any like this? I mean, I know he won't be on this roster, but like, is there any disciplinary action if he didn't show up for like a team or anything that you guys would have to take? Yeah. We're talking about that. That's, yes, it's possible. And the second question, sorry. Aaron, judge, sorry, I think he intentionally walked only like 19 times all year. I think we talked about this earlier. Just not a strategy teams really employ in modern baseball. But given a short series, do you think that in the playoffs, do you think teams might actually try to avoid them this time instead of pitching to them like they had before? I think it'll be similar. I think if teams feel, if it's kind of in their DNA to consider it, I think it's going to be on the table. And I'm sure there'll be situations where it'll be obvious to slightly more gray, and then you have a decision to make. So I don't necessarily think more now, because you're playing a meaningful game down the stretch that you're trying to win those games. So that strategic decision comes up, whether it's a postseason or the regular season. We'll see how the Guardian street it. Matthew to the left. Aaron, with the little break you had between the regular season in this series, did you allow yourself to kind of think about just how crazy this year was for you with the hot start, and you have the August slump, you have a bunch of trades, you have the judge home run chase, did you find yourself kind of reflecting on that at all? Not really. I mean, every season is always crazy. I feel like 21 would say, hold my beer to this year. And then we go back into the pandemic in 20 and hold that beer. Every year has its challenges. I mean, the 162 is the real deal. So I don't do necessarily a lot of reflecting at this time. It's more about we're moving forward, and what do we have today to try and get ready for our series coming up. And you're just kind of constantly moving forward. Ron. How much planning is involved for you and Matt in the bullpen situation this year compared to other years where you have a set closer or a set a fitting guy? Do you start game planning various scenarios a day or two ahead, the day of? I guess it's a little bit different. But process-wise, not a whole lot different. I mean, we go into each day, all right, who's available. What do we think we have them for? And you try and kind of go through and map out, OK, where are the best scenarios? Where they fit in today? So it's different than in past years maybe. But the process isn't any different about where we're trying to get guys to be successful. I was thinking more as, like in the past, if you had a set closer, you know, nine, here are you thinking, OK, if top of the order comes up in the seventh, we would do A. If it comes up in the eighth, we would do B. Yeah, but again, that's something we do every day anyway, based on their lineup, based on what they have on the bench. You know, you're ultimately trying to get guys matched up as best you can, where they have the best chance to be successful. Sometimes you're not afforded that luxury based on usage, or you already used a guy, or you've had to use guys earlier. So, but again, process-wise, that's nothing much different there. Take a few more, Dan and Eric, Eric and Dan. With Ty owned, do you know how you'd want to use him in the bullpen, since he doesn't have experience doing that? I think, look, I think Jamo could fit in everywhere from giving us meaningful innings in a certain game to a big spot in a high leverage spot late to close in a game. I really feel like, and I feel like he has the makeup to handle whatever we throw at him. We'll try and prepare him as best we can. But no, he'll be ready for and embrace the challenge of all of it. But I could see Jamo in every possible role down there. Is that similar to what Hermon might be asked to do? Yeah. Yeah, it could be. Excuse me. It could be, yeah. Eric. When we were talking to Clay, he said he was, quote, not exactly sure whether he'll be ready for game one. What's your inclination on his availability? Yeah, we'll see. I think we're probably going to have him throw alive tomorrow. So we'll see if we want to have him available for game one, game two. But he is, the week's gone well, I would say. I do. Ed, all the way in the back, right? Hi, Aaron. Are you at all surprised that you're playing Cleveland and not Tampa? No. No, I mean, I would have believed anything. I mean, I looked at all these series and feel like nothing would surprise me. It's been fun to watch the last couple days unfold and the drama of it and the excitement of it all. I hope it's been, I hope baseball fans have really enjoyed these last couple of days. But if you would have told me in any of the four series, this team is beating that team, wouldn't have surprised me at all. And as much as Cleveland swept them two games, the margin was so slim it could have been two the other way. And that wouldn't have surprised me either. Take Chris, you have a last one? Have you made a decision on Parazza yet? No. Thank you, Aaron.
