- Hey, John, over the course of the whole season, those 8 and 9 spots have kind of been surprisingly really productive for you guys. What does that do for a lineup when you get those last few spots going?

So I think having good at-bats down there, kind of Cav getting back to his normal self a little bit. Again, it kind of starts with Whitt kind of in the middle there, getting on base, and making some things happen. But you get those guys on base for the top of the order, that's kind of how we're built to have success.
