What's different about the way that this war is being fought in comparison with previous conflicts? And is this concentrated use of drones significant in any way?
2:25
It's very much a continuation of the drone development from the four and a half years of Ukraine warfare, where both sides have learned tremendous things about drones.
2:38
And we know now that it's dominating warfare.
2:42
But in Iran, that is very much taken on the lessons from that and very directly in some cases.
2:49
Russia has given technology to Iran that allows its drones to sense if they are coming under attack so they can dive to a lower level.
3:00
They just fit a simple sensor.

on it, so some form of avoidance tactics.

If the future of warfare involves more weapons that are cheap and increasingly autonomous, and more importantly, can be operated from a distance, does that mean that civilian areas are more vulnerable? Or could better technology actually make warfare more precise? What exactly do you think this will mean for civilians and even for the psychology of the soldier that is firing that weapon who feels or perhaps doesn't feel that he or she is actually killing people?
3:28
Do you think the Rockies would, if they received a quality offer for Hunter Goodman, would they actually trade him?
3:38
Well, that's the question, the quality of the offer.
3:41
And the more that I check with my major league sources, the more I believe that there have been a few proposals that we've seen on Twitter, four for one.
3:51
I would think that they would say, well, maybe.
3:54
I mean, that's how valuable a catcher like that is.
3:57
I mean, when you talk about what Hunter Goodman is doing, you have to go back to Johnny Bench and Mike Piazza and Gary Carter.
4:04
This is the type of production that he's giving you right now.
6:01
Arizona like gangbusters.

Yeah, just talk about it.
10:17
Okay, well, let's talk about the pitching.
10:19
First of all, the pitching is kind of almost emblematic of the entire organization in that at the end of last season, yes, there was an overhaul, but it was actually just a building because very few people left.
10:34
The problem was they were attacking one of the hardest places to build a team with so few employees.
10:41
I mean, I remember I was talking to someone who is still here, by the way, and he said, yeah, everybody's saying housecleaning.
10:49
We're looking around.
10:49
There's hardly anybody in this household.
TommyHOST
15:44
It's like, all right, the Rockies have been just a fun team that kind of has shown a little bit more competitiveness this year.
