 Meredith Marokovits, you can ask the first question or two. Luke, with the exception of DJ LaMay here, the lineup last night looked very well like it could be an opening day lineup. Just what do you think of the bats in the Yankees' lineup and what they're potentially capable of? It's stacked. Unbelievable, guys. We got power from top to bottom, mixing a little speed with Judgy Hicks and Guardi. It's a lethal lineup. It'll be fun to watch this year and I can't wait, no matter where I'm at in the lineup to be a part of it. Understanding you didn't face Hap yesterday, but what did you think of both the starting pitchers in general Hap and, of course, Clarkschman? Well, Clark maybe looks silly, so he did a really good job. Yeah, Hap looked really good. I think his cutter was one thing he's been working on. He looked really good and he's getting swing misses on his changeup. He's using his fastball up, which has been really effective. I think that was something he used towards the end of the season last year and kept it rolling into spring and now summer camp. So they both look good and it's good to see guys, got a couple of lives that these guys have been ready to go and I know they got the advantage right now, but everyone's been looking pretty good. We could take the next question from Brian Hoke. Brian Hoke, you can unmute. Hey, Luke, how are you? What's up, man? I think you told Meredith the other day that you dropped 13 pounds during quarantine. What did you do differently and how do you think that'll affect you this season? The big thing was really eating clean. My wife did a great job cooking and I don't want to say meal prepping, but it was not a lot of carbs, mostly meat and vegetables. I quit snacking late at night and I brought a lot of cardio to the table too, making sure I'm getting cardio in two days a week and always running a mile and a half, two miles before every workout too. So it's just being really strict and obviously trying to be not as many cheat meals on the weekends and just, I want to be really clean just to be a little bit quicker for this year and it worked out really well. Take the next question from Jake Siner. Jake, go ahead and unmute. Hey, Luke, last night was the first time you got to kind of go through something like a game situation, both with the empty stadium also with some of the new protocols. You just tell us a little bit about like what that experience was like, any learning curves, any hiccups, anything that you think might change in the routine, just what was overall the experience like? It was good. The weirdest part is just walking out of the dugout when you're walking out to like stretching the field, it's just no fans. You're getting a little ovation when you're running out or you get the guys out in the right center field and the right field, they're yelling at you. It's different, but it felt good to put the cleats on the jersey back on, get that game reps. Obviously it'll get amped up in the next couple more days. But it felt good, it wasn't weird to me. Kind of remind me of college, you know, in the fall ball, but overall it was good and it felt really good to be back out in the Yankee Stadium again. We could take the next question from Marley Rivera. Marley, go ahead. Luke, thank you very much for your time. We saw you were one of the batters who hit against Cole when he was pitching at the stadium the other day. Can you tell us what that was like and what kind of feedback he wanted from you guys? You know, Cole kept saying to me, he's like, man, I took me like 15 pitches for me to finally get me off my slider and his feedback is good. I mean, that guy looked like he was in mid-season form already, you know, he's locating. You know, the thing with him is, you know, he'll make a bad mistake, but that's like in the dirt. And then when his good pitches are elite pitches and he doesn't miss and he, you know, they always say in the big leagues, you get one pitch a pitcher is going to miss. And I feel like I didn't, you know, I faced him five times and I feel like I might have gotten one out of those five of bats, which is crazy. He's doing good, man. And he knows he does his homework on us, you know, we're on his team. And, you know, we obviously faced him in the past, but you know, he knows what he's doing up there. And it's pretty impressive. How much of a benefit is it to have him now on your side instead of having to face him with another unit? It's good. Even though I clipped him last year though. So it's, I got him. So now I'm letting him get me and he's in our squad. So, but it's awesome. And I'm excited to, you know, learn from him, talk with him more. A lot of guys have gotten a lot of good feedback from him. So it'll be awesome. He's going to be a good leader. And, you know, I'm glad I don't have to face him anymore. Except for these next couple of weeks. So it'll be fun. Take the next question from James Wagner. James, go ahead and unmute. Hey, Luke, hope you're, you and the family are doing well. I'm just kind of curious, like, what on or off the field has been most difficult to adjust to? I mean, not to lead you, but I mean, like, sunflower seeds stopping, spitting, except during gum or your behavior away from the field. What has been the hardest for you in order to get the season going? They're going to change so far. Yeah, on the field for sure, it's the spitting and it's just human nature. Obviously, whenever I, you know, I'm playing outside where it's golf, baseball, whatever, you know, it's common nature. You always, I always feel like I have seeds too, which is weird not having that, not be able to pop bubbles, but, you know, we got to do what we got to do with that, you know, abide by the rules because I want to play, you know. It's nice to be back here and playing again, but, you know, off the field, it's nice. I got my wife here, so she's able to go to the store for me and, you know, get everything done. So, you know, I have to be out and about, you know, trying to get, you know, in effected, I guess, by someone else. So everything's been going good. You know, it's nice to be here at the stadium, getting back in a good routine and, you know, kind of get away from what's going on in the world. It's nice to be back with the boys. So it's good. Thanks, James. Lindsay Adler, you're next. If you can unmute, please. Hey, look, good to see you. Kind of like what you were talking about with facing, or what type of feedback does he give you about what he sees when he's facing you? And I'm kind of curious just generally about feedback in terms of facing your teammates. I think a lot of the pictures, and this goes not just with Cole, it's just, you know, they don't want to get us hurt, you know, throw up an end, you know, break a hand, or, you know, hit us in the face or something like that. So I think they're a little, you know, timid. And, you know, I get it too, because I mean, he saw it, Stan did it to Naca. So it goes both ways. But, you know, he's honestly, Cole is the guy that's going to attack you like anybody else attacks you. He's going to attack your weaknesses. And that's what elite pitchers do. Even he's going to use his strengths, but his strengths are usually a lot of other people's weaknesses. So he's going to pitch on both top and bottom of the zone. And he's going to keep you guessing. He's a guy you can't sit there and try to guess what's coming because he'll put you, you know, O2 real quick or put you in an uncomfortable count to where you have no idea what's coming. And, you know, he's got, you know, three above average pitches. And now he's a corporate and changeup too, which is pretty good. So him, it's just the guy that you've got to try to get ahead, you know, get behind the count so you can get a good pitch to hit. But he's also got a 2-0 slider. So it's something you just got to, you know, be ready for anything and, you know, make sure you're on time. Next question from Brendan Cutty. Brendan, go ahead. Luke, thanks for taking the time. I hope you're well. Calling you a high energy guy on the field would probably be an understatement. How much of that is drawn from the fans? And how are you going to replace whatever they give you? How are you going to get so jacked up? Well, the fans definitely are a huge part of it. And, you know, we love every bit. And hopefully they're back in the stands soon. But I'm always a guy that's going to be pranking guys, you know, having fun on the dugout, trying to make the good out of a bad situation. So that part's easy for me because if I'm not having fun, then, you know, I shouldn't be here. So it's a little kid's game. And, you know, I'm a little kid at heart. So I always bring that every day. So thank you. Take a question from George King. George, if you can unmute, give it a whirl. Luke, how are you? Good, good. I know it's only an exhibition game, but how nice will it be to see another uniform for two games with the Mets? It'll be good. You know, it's a little different getting ready for these games. You know, you're playing against your own guys. It kind of feels like a practice. It doesn't feel like a game. So it'll be nice to, you know, I guess potentially maybe have umpires. And, you know, it'll be the whole routine of getting ready, you know, going out there, having everybody in your dugout, not split dugouts. It'll make it definitely more game-like to where it'll be like an expedition game almost. I feel like like what we're going to do in Toronto, which will be nice to, you know, get us ready for Washington. So I'm excited for that part.
