Everybody gets entitled to be wrong every now and again.

Yeah.

[laughs] Yeah, it worked out.

It worked out.

But so we, Lou calls a meeting, it's a hitters meeting, and we go into the h- video room, and everybody's in the room.

And, and by the way, I read Lou Piniella's book, Sweet Lou, in high school.

Like, I loved him as a Yankee.

So I wanna set this up so you, so we, we understand the whole, the, uh, you know, your, your, your whole road to, to, to Philadelphia.

What was the difference? Like, what finally started working for you in that 2001, 2002 era? And who do you credit for that, man?

Well, first and foremost, it was Harvey Dorfman.

And first and foremost, 1A and 1B was Kevin Seitzer.

Kevin Seitzer, Mariners' current hitting coach.

I got DFA'd twice in a month, and every team passed.

And after that second time, I heard about this guy named Kevin Seitzer who had a cage in Kansas City.

I gave him a phone call the day I got DFA'd, spent three days with him.

What would you say to the people out there that would say, hey, this is bad for baseball that the Dodgers are getting Tarek Scooble?
