 Mike, thank you very much for joining us. How is your leg feeling? Are you 100% and How do you expect to be used this season? First off, yes, 100% feel great Second off, you know, I Don't think anybody knows what to expect this season You know that includes me. So, you know, I'm ready to go I'm excited to be back and You know, that stuff seems to always kind of work itself out. So Whatever the role is, I'm happy to fill it. Thank you James Wagner go ahead and unmute you've got the next question Hey, Mike, what's up? Hope you and the family are well Just like two questions. First of all, what's it just feel like to be playing baseball during this pandemic? And just like all the measures you guys have to go through to get this season off first of all start with that one Yeah, I mean, I'm excited, you know, I can always speak for myself, but you know Being being from Chicago and and the strict stay-at-home orders and kind of self-quarantining That my wife and I did it's really exciting to just kind of get out here and You know be with the guys and out, you know, obviously We're doing what we can and you know acting responsibly to keep ourselves safe out here, but I'm excited to play some baseball and I really I really truly believe that You know once once the the real game start, it's it's I mean, it's gonna look like the baseball even playing forever What were you able to do back home in Chicago? Were you able to find anywhere to hit and stay in shape? So early in quarantine I had I bought a tee and like a catch net and I was just hitting the backyard a little bit And I'd work out at home We have just some very basic stuff, but you know, I felt like I was able to kind of just maintain where I wanted to and then as You know a little bit of time passed I was able to get into you know a private gym and you know, I felt that if I was you know go in and wipe down the equipment I was using and You know kind of try to limit my time there and limit my interaction. I could you know safely work out and You know hit take the next question from Sweeney Murdy Sweeney Hey Mike, are you finding that the pitchers are ahead of the hitters if you guys as a group talked about that and Is there enough time for guys who feel that way to catch up with two weeks till the opener? Yeah, I think Garrett Cole's ahead of everybody You look really good the other day You know, I think that's kind of what happens every spring training that now just in in the Some of the velocity prerequisites it takes just to pitch in the big leagues now I think you know the game's getting a little bit younger and guys are going harder. So, you know, whereas You know, even as bad as far back as like 2016 that was my first major league spring training, you know guys were Maybe it was a little bit more even early on but now when you know, you have Some like 1920 21 year olds throwing 98 miles an hour in their first live bullpen I think they hit the pitchers are always gonna have an advantage early and they always have an advantage as it is like You hit 30% of time you're pretty good. So You know, I think that these inner squad's been great You know one of the advantages to facing our pitching is that it's You know, they're just running out all star after all star elite arm after elite arm So, you know, I think that that's gonna help us adjust pretty quickly You know for when
