 It's the manager's report brought to you by Geico. Aaron, you didn't get much from the offense today. Why do you think they struggled to put runs on the board? It's way. Yeah, just couldn't muster enough. The couple of opportunities we had just couldn't cash in. You know, got to, you know, obviously as a group, got to start getting there rolling. What have you thought about the offense and the performance of the offense as a whole to start the season? Well, I think as a group, we've struggled a little bit to get to catch our stride, where we're obviously going to get to. So it's just a matter of us collectively starting to string really good at bats as a group. And when that happens, we'll start to take off. I felt like yesterday we put together a good inning. The day before where we got shut down a little bit against the Orioles, I thought we had better at bats coming off a couple of seven run games. But I think it's just collectively as a group just really stringing together tough at bats that I know these guys will over time. But we got to start doing it as a group and really make it difficult on the pitcher. You're next to Brian Hoke. Aaron, how did you feel about Domingo Hermon's outing and, you know, any concern that he gave up another home run, another two home runs today? I actually thought, I thought he threw okay. Obviously the two homers were, you know, a mistake change up that he kind of yanked down and into meadows there trying to go away there. And then a first pitch of the inning where he's trying to get a sinker in to a Rosa Reina put it right on the plate and he put a good swing on. Other than that, you know, a couple of balls back to him wanted to start an inning by Wendell and then wanting to flex, you know, other than that, I thought he threw the ball okay. You know, he had a little more life on his fastball today. I thought he settled in pretty well and started, you know, commanding the secondary stuff pretty well. So really it was just the two home runs today and, you know, the inability to grab a couple soft, softly hit balls back to him. Eric Bowlin, please unmute. Aaron, as long as you've been here, you always talk about controlling the strike zone at the plate. How have you felt you guys have done in that regard, James? Yeah, that's an area where we're again, I think collectively we got to, you know, we got to be better as a group in that regard. And we will be, you know, these guys are grinding away, these guys are working hard, you know, it's very early in the season and, you know, you want to get into that routine and that settle into the regular season. You know, I think sometimes early on, you want to, you want to, you want it bad and really to control the zone like this team is capable of, you know, you just really got to focus on the bat and not going up there chasing a result. And when our guys do that, you know, they're not going to be held down. Go next to Joel Sherman, Joel. Aaron, do you think your team is better than the Tampa Bay Rays and if so, why? Well, we'll see. I mean, they're one of the teams that we got to compete with in this division. They're obviously a good team and the defending American League champions. We have expectations of being that more this year, so they're one of the teams we have to go through and I'll take our chances, but we got a long way to go from here between here and then. So I think it's silly to answer that question right now. We got to go out and prove it. Go next to Christie Acker. Go ahead, Christie. Aaron, Timico has struggled giving up homeruns before, I mean, this season. What do you see? Yeah, I'm sorry. What do you see from him that makes him prone to that? Well, he fills up the strike zone, like, you know, which we love, you know, he goes after guys and really commands his pitches and lives in the strike zone. So it's usually not a lot of free passes with him. You can certainly live with, you know, some solo shots here and there. So overall, I don't feel like he's far off from really dialing in a good one. And, you know, I think that's just a product of filling up the strike zone as much as he does. Marley Rivera, go ahead, go ahead, Christie. Sorry, you've had two short outings from your starters. Your bullpen side, do you need to make a move? We'll see. We'll go in and talk about it. And, you know, obviously we've had to lean on the bullpen a little bit here these last couple of days, especially some of our length guys. So, you know, that'll be something we'll have to talk about. Thank you. Marley Rivera, please unmute. Aaron, how would you assess the work of your defense overall in the first two games of this series? I mean, I got to be better. I thought we did a lot of good things today. Gio made a great play, but also, you know, made the air. Guardi, with, you know, as good a play, you're going to see a left fielder go make, being able to track that down. I thought Glaber made a great play up the middle, where they beat the throw out and made a couple other good plays. So, you know, it's got to be better. You know, you're going to be a great team. We got to be a little bit better and more airtight. And, you know, we just got to continue to work in that area. Dan Martin, please unmute. Aaron, how did Judge come through the day? Good. I'll go, you know, get with him here, you know, after the settles in it, you know, after the game, but it seemed like he did fine. And do you expect to start him tomorrow as well, just because of the turf? I mean, even if he is okay? Yeah, if he's okay, I would expect to play him. And Jay Bruce has, you know, has struggled on both sides of the ball. Now it seems, you know, he's just not looking that comfortable. Are you comfortable with him at first base and in the regular lineup going forward here? Yeah, I, you know, I think he's done a lot of good things defensively, and I do think he has some natural movements over there. Again, it's gaining that everyday experience that it's hard to replicate. You got to get reps to really be where everything's kind of second nature to you. The little nuances of the position become second nature. And I feel like he's done a lot of good in that area, but obviously there's still room for growth there. And, you know, one of those guys, we got to get rolling at the plate too. Eric Rowland. Is there a decent chance we see Odore in there tomorrow? A decent chance. We'll see. Thanks, Eric. Yeah.
