Going back to the World Baseball Classic, was that probably the best oh shit moment you've had as
82:32
a player? Oh, 100%.
82:35
I mean, to be fair, that whole experience with the WBC and being on Team USA, winning the gold is right up there with anything that I did in my career.
82:48
And to kind of have a small little like Forrest Gump moment, I call it, in the WBC where they keep replaying this catch over and over every year, you know, gives me all the joy in the world.
83:00
But in the moment, you know, obviously...
83:04
I, I a hundred percent thought it was, this ball was 10 rows, you know, back, but Petco is such a big ballpark.
83:11
You know, I was like, didn't really look at it for a second.

But, like, when you guys are out there and you've got 100 y- yards in, like, are you, are you taking dead aim at a, a back left pin or, or are you still just going through your normal process and just letting it play out?
16:00
Well, it's tricky.
16:01
It's, it's a tricky format because, yes, you're right, birdies are rewarded.
16:07
And you, you, I think ultimately can be a tad bit more aggressive.
16:14
But bec- the reason it's tricky is because a double be- there's two points that differentiate a bogey and a double bogey.
16:22
So, a double bogey is a minus one point, and a bogey is a point.
16:28
So you really want to keep the double bogeys off the, off the card.

Like-How, how do you approach that side of it? Are you, you know, trying to find maybe an area of your game that is, you know, you, you feel could get a little better and really trying to hone in on that? Or do you take the approach of really well-rounded practice and, and doing kind of everything the same? Or do you, like, lean into the strengths of your game and, like, that- that's where it is? I just wanted to talk a little bit about, you know, how, how you practice and prepare, 'cause I might be able to learn.
