Mike Chernoff

Remember, Gavin's still a pretty young guy, and, and when you have that parabolic rise in innings usage, um, it, it, it is something front offices keep a very close eye on.

I am positive that there were conversations throughout the last couple of weeks between Chris Antonetti, Mike Chernoff, Steven Vogt, the entire coaching staff.

How do we handle it? Let's be prepared.

If this scenario presents itself, here's how we'd like to operate with it.

He, he's not only that, but he's, but he's also just, like, the most incredibly gracious person in terms of time he would give you and, and, and leadership, you know? The, like, just things that he would share.

But I think that, like, learning and growing ar- you know, around him and around, uh, Mark Shapiro, Mike Chernoff, others, um, I, you know, the, at that time it, it, I, I can't remember exactly what track we were on before you mentioned how, uh-

No, no, sorry man.

How deep he was in.

Uh, the Guardians just needed players who could make their lineup complete.

And, and Monday was the most convincing sort of indication that Chris Antonetti and Mike Chernoff went out and got guys who fit with this roster and fit with this club, uh, and, and really have made their presence known.

Patrick Bailey, uh, you know, did anybody see this kind of power that he's shown in the last, uh, in the last month? A 436 foot home run, uh, to lead off the seventh inning, tied the game at 2-2.

The longest home run of his Major League career.

Not the guy you want to test, [laughs] especially Nathaniel Lowe with his speed, uh, so I can relate to him on that point.

But overall, you can see the acquisitions and the moves from, uh, Chris Antonetti and Mike Chernoff, and the moves they made at the deadline.

You could see the impact of those moves on this team last night.

And maybe none bigger than...

So there are young people who believe that managers are just interchangeable here.

Like there were people who did not believe when we had Mike Chernoff on, when he had said, no, Stephen Vogt's absolutely an essential part of the lineup.

We know that there's organizations that make the lineups, not the managers.

We are not one of them.
