 Yeah I've got pictures for tomorrow. We'll have King Wojachowski, Litgi, Baraklaw, Goody, Warren, and then Abreu and Lane possibly also. We take the first question from Brian Hoke. Brian go ahead and unmute. Actually I think Taycan was up from the previous one. I'm sorry. Okay Dan do you have a question? Aaron with the first game tomorrow. How excited are you about getting this spring underway? And you know, I think with you about a few days ago, having fans back in the stands for the first time in almost a year. What do you think it's going to be like? Yeah I am excited for that. I'm excited to you know start to build from a game standpoint towards the regular season. But it will be nice to to have some fans in the stands and you know ask me tomorrow. But you know in just in just watching some other events you know throughout the off season you know whether it was college football, NFL games, different games where fans were there in limited capacities. It does change the look and the feel even watching it on TV I felt like. So you know I'm sure it'll be nice for the guys to have that environment and the atmosphere that that only the fans can create. And did Samarina do everything he was supposed to do this week? I know you told us he thought he'd throw four times, 120, all that stuff. He did. He had another good week. He's really built some good momentum over the last few weeks. He'll have another week where he goes four times. Three of those will be a number a number of throws at 120. So it's been a few weeks of that now. And then hopefully if everything goes well next week he'll get on the mound. Yeah we can go next to Ken David off. Ken please unmute. Yeah and I know we'll keep asking about last year's short and season and the ripple effect of that. I'm wondering because you get less information from last year. Does that look more of a premium on what you see this spring as you're making decisions? Look it all matters. I mean everything goes into trying to make evaluations and decisions. You know I feel like with our club you know we're in a pretty good physical place right now and healthy. You know if we're able to remain healthy I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what we're looking at. It's going to be those guys that are really competing for final spots or spots at different times of the course of the year. You know one of our messages always here is no matter how low on the totem pole you might think you are that can change in a hurry. And we certainly saw that in 2019. So you know all this will go into making decisions evaluations but I don't know if necessarily anymore more so. Do you have a top question you feel like you need to answer by opening day? No not as you asked me that right now. You know I'm sure as the spring unfolds you know I think with with our starting pitchers whether it's the guys returning from injury or the guys that didn't pitch a lot or some of the younger pitchers you know just how they're doing how they're building up and then kind of constantly evaluating where they're at physically and helping inform us of you know what we think they're going to be able to give us over the course of a season. We can go next to Kristi Ackert. Kristi. What was the thing that made you feel you know the most about not having fans in the stands? What was the thing that really kind of hit you about not having them there last year? It was the Red Sox. First time we played the Red Sox is when I really noticed it it just because honestly I noticed it less in other situations like for me it was very easy to get kind of locked in at seven. It's game time and and the competitiveness of the game you know worked it was effective. But there were certain times you know the Red Sox series really stands out to me a little bit the Mets as well where there's just that normal extra buzz and angst and intensity in a regular season setting. So more for me it was just different times of you know the occasions when you do look up and take something in you know that wasn't there but I would say the first time we played the Red Sox was the first time it like really hit me hard. I know that you guys were trying to stay safe and in your you know bubbles or whatever. Did that carry over into the off season? Did fans approach you or were you able or did you have to kind of keep that going during the winter and how was it different? Yeah I mean you know when we got into the off season so October, November, December and in the northeast where you know the pandemic kind of quieted down a little bit and things were opened up a little bit. My kids were you know in varying degrees able to play some of their sports so I was out at fields and things like that. You know going to dinner something wasn't the same but we were able to do it somewhat. So still different but certainly a lot different and a lot more open and interactive than say when we got back to New York in April, May and June certainly. Lindsey Adler please unmute you have the next question. You know I'm driving back and forth every single day and you know trying to still strike that balance to really try and make sure I'm seeing and touching or whatever the things I'm prioritizing and I got to be a little more kind of strategic about how I do that because I can't just flow from one place to the other so even even though you know the places the proximity is good so you can kind of do it but that part and and you know we're fortunate that we have a great facility over at Himes are you know and where it's come over the last few years there's a lot of real benefits obviously for our pitchers and catchers being over there but I also really value our team being together and I think that's really important especially for some of the new guys you know the the clubers and the tie-ons like they need to be with our position players here and so you know sometime you know in the near future we're gonna we're gonna make some switches as far as getting guys over here on a more permanent basis and so they are together because I really do value the the camaraderie that that's important to always develop but certainly in spring training and certainly when you're dealing with some new players and go next to Brendan cutting hey Aaron when you mentioned making some changes is that the guy you picked up from major league camp maybe transposed on with Himes and brain that catches over to GMS? Yeah we'll we'll do some things um our we'll have Gary uh Chorinos and Higashioka for example they're they're actually coming over here tomorrow they'll be over here starting tomorrow permanently but then we'll do some some swapping out of some guys sometime in the near future I'm not sure exactly the date I want to do it yet but it is something on the board that that I plan on doing at some point to to at least get a couple few weeks you know of our guys that we're expecting to you know break camp that you know getting them together is something that's important to me and just housekeeping last day at full workouts all you guys helping yeah um yeah we're we're good um um today was a turned out they hit for for a while but it was a fairly light day for the position players rolling into um to games but yeah everyone's everyone's wearing pretty good shape um Nestor Cortez had a little bit of an ankle issue but I don't think it's going to slow him down at all you know he should be able to make his turn here in the first couple days thank you yeah Pete Caldera go ahead and unmute you have the next question I guess with with your with your starting lineup you know some of the spots you want to go but have you done any of the back of the envelope type stuff about how you want to you know roll this out um yeah I mean look I I think you know who who our guys are and you know with health you know we're talking about you know potentially just the last spot or two on on a roster and obviously we've brought some interesting guys in um in a non roster situation um so they could they could certainly push into the conversations or or force a difficult decision um you know that look I mean that's that's just the those will all declare themselves that spring goes on
