Chris Curtis

That I think is what Drake May has to do.

And to Curtis's point a little bit from last year, we all looked at Drake May and go, "He doesn't have a lot of talent around him, but he's able to elevate these guys," right? Was he elevating Steph Diggs, or was Steph Diggs elevating him? We had that conversation last year.

And where the regression has been this year-

year-It doesn't even look like he can elevate anybody, and I think that's the biggest issue that a lot of people are having with Drake May when they're watching his performance.

... you have to wonder a little bit

...

I would wonder this, and this is probably Curtis's lane more than it is mine.

Is there a chance why you say, "I don't know," because you're trying to maybe gain some leverage to get more money? Is it, or is he just said it-

So you're saying

it's like how Curtis is always ready in case I go down during a show.

Yes.

Exactly.

But, right, but I mean, he's alluding to that there's a problem with his shoulder in his answer, 'cause that's wh- that's where, that's why we're here.

I mean, we should re-listen to it, 'cause really I, I watched the press conference as it was happening in real time, and I did not take away until the next morning when Curtis brought it up that, like, any...

I, I listened to it.

I did not think twice.

I...

Could you take, would you take that any other way? I mean, Curtis, take it-

Yeah.

Seems like a leap to me.

Like, th- there's an issue there, in my opinion, where y- we have no idea if guys are healthy, not healthy, they seem to be off for a really long time, then they're coming back and they're not performing well, and oh my gosh, they've got a stinger again.

Like, it doesn't seem like the training staff is getting these guys right.

Well, let's get to Curtis' lead if we could this morning.

Hello, Curtis.

I, I'm a m- I, I can only imagine that is the way that most of the guys on that team feel with regard to the analytics.

Curtis.

Don't you feel like them, there's guys on that team that feel like that it was robbed from them? And I don't think they're right.

I, I think Wiggy and Courtney are right, that it is on the bats.

So, like, before you guys start opening your mouth-

He got on base on half of his at bats-

Curtis-

...

I, I'm, um, I, I can only imagine that is the way that most of the guys on that team feel with regard to the analytics.

Curtis-

Don't you feel like the, there's guys on that team that feel like that it was robbed from them? And I don't think they're right.

I, I think Wiggy and Courtney are right, that it is on the bats.

So, like, before you guys start opening your mouth-

He got on base on half of his at bats-

Curtis-

...

And one of the things that you can talk about with Ray Bourque because, uh, he's had this conversation in the past, it takes a while to be comfortable, even if you're a great player, to become a captain.

Also, I don't know if you know this or not, but one-timer is what the ladies at BC used to refer to Curtis as.

[ba dum tiss] [laughs]

Better than no-timer.
