Bradenton

Didn't we all? Yeah, something like that.

He's also been the MLS Next head coach at the IMG Academy here in Florida in Bradenton.

Interesting to talk to him about that.

And then in 2021, he became the Colorado Rapids Under-18s Academy head coach, MLS Next.

But I'd be very curious to see.

Before we kind of go in the other direction here, and I wanna touch a little bit more on the bioregulators and the, uh, advanced diagnostics with Mike, did you happen to go to Bose in Bradenton? This means nothing to anybody watching.

Is that where you got your scan?

Um, where is that at?

Uh, it's somewhere in Bradenton.

I haven't been there in years.

My point is-

So it's-- I don't think it's the Bose place that you're talking about.

I imagine the spring training is going to be very similar to what we saw in 2022, where at some point they're just going to reach an agreement.

They're going to say, all right, everyone, you got 48 hours to get to Bradenton, Florida, and it'll be an abbreviated spring training.

And there'll be concerns.

That's why I look.

He stands 6'7".

Makes his home in Bradenton, Florida, but he was a great high school player right here in New York in LaSalle High.

Both baseball and basketball.

He was 7-1 with the Charleston Charlies when Candelaria was brought up when Ken Brett went on the disabled list.

I hand wrote it all.

it was pouring rain it's pouring rain in this pool behind me and i didn't even edit a single word i just typed it in the sub stack i realized that when i type in a sub stack it's way too hard for me to not judge myself and so handwriting is my process and guess what i hand wrote it and i didn't change a single word so if you're interested in that i've posted two sub stack articles i'll continue to post there but uh i'm kind of slower there that's one of the creative acts that i like to just take my time with so check that out We're going to Bradenton, Florida for the next 10 days.

And then we're going to be going to South Carolina.

Bird by bird, baby.

I loved it.

And then I, my last team I was with was with the Pittsburgh pirates down in, um, Florida and right outside of my hometown in Bradenton and COVID hit during that.

Yeah.

And

I go to

Bradenton when you go to Bennington.

That's right.
