 Boone is going to join us. Hello, Aaron. Hey, guys, how you doing? Doing well. You had your buddy, Phil Nevin, yiked up at the third base coach's box. Yeah, how'd the Viking do on here? Is he good? Yeah, he was excellent. The only shame was a couple of quick innings. Otherwise, could have gotten even longer one. Howdy scored, board Yankees 4-2 lead. Aaron, how about Corey Kluber, his performance today as we see Chapman into the game now. How would you think of Kluber's 4 innings? I thought he was good overall. Not probably the command that we're going to see from him. I thought he actually had a little more power today with all his stuff. So he was a little more scattered, but all in all, I thought he threw the ball really well. I thought he executed a number of really different pitches, whether it was the cutter at times, the slider, both fastballs and even the change up a little bit. I think he was a little frustrated when he came out there. You know, he had a chance on a comeback or in a wild pitch, hit batter, you know, so not really a run they earned, but I think overall a really good day's work and to be able to get through 4 today, another good building block for him. What have you seen from Taillon thus far in his starts this spring? Man, I mean, we continue to be really, wow, that's gross. That's gross. That's the split. That's gross right there. That thing. Wow. Gary's giggling. Stokes is telling the other team like, what was that? 90 mile an hour knuckleball. Oh my goodness. Jamo's been great. I mean, he's come as completely, come as advertised, you know, just make up off the charts and he's come in feeling so good. Every, you know, test he continues to pass, whether it's, you know, getting here, getting integrated, getting in his bullpens, his live BPs, his progressions now in-game. You know, he's pitched with runners on base and, you know, what we're seeing is the really good Jamison Taillon stuff. You know, obviously a cleaner delivery now, a shorter arm stroke. We've really seen his fastball, especially yesterday in Lakeland. His fastball, you know, he was behind in the count a little bit yesterday because he didn't have real consistency with his breaking ball and his secondary. But behind in the count, really his fastball was really playing up in the zone and that was really encouraging. And the finish yesterday's outing off with a really good breaking ball. I just think he's in a really good spot right now as we get through the middle of spring training. Well, Aaron, since we just saw your reaction to that just disgusting splitter from our oldest Chapman, I mean, how confident do you think Chapman's going to be using this during games and how much are you and Matt Blake and Mike Harky going to be emphasizing it being a part of, you know, the repertoire on a regular basis for Chapman? Yeah, very much so. As he skies one off in foul territory on the left side, Gio slips into a warm bath and makes a play. Tremendous! No, I'm really confident. You know, it's something that, you know, really he's messed around with for the last couple of years and then integrated a little bit towards the end of last year and it absolutely plays. The profile of the pitch is excellent. And what we've come to realize, especially as he's worked on it through the winter now and made it part of his mix and now here in the spring training and brought it into games is not only is it profile is a really effective pitch, but it's a pitch he's got a really good feel for actually. And I absolutely think it's going to be part of what he does this year. Yeah, Aaron, you know, we talked to, you know, you mentioned about, you know, Zack Britton going to be down for a few months. And does it necessarily mean that you're looking at another lefty to replace him? I know Litke's been impressive along with Lyons. I mean, are you looking at the lefties to kind of replace him? Or is there another dark horse in contention? I would say, honestly, there's a number of guys in contention right now. And there's a lot of different ways we can go, you know, whether you, you know, prefer like a longer guy that can legitimately give you some length, whether it's a guy that you feel like can, you know, be really effective in one inning. So no, it's absolutely not a priority that it's left or right-handed for that matter. We're looking for the best guys and that fits our roster the best, you know, with a lot of our, you know, pitchers, you know, you think about like Greeny and are really, you know, technically more effective against lefties anyway. So I feel like we have a pretty good balance already in the pen. And with Chappy and Wilson, you know, that's two lefties already. So we'll go with the best guy. Aaron, thank you for the time. As always, we appreciate it. All right, guys. Take care.
