As a pitcher, I would have definitely struck myself out as a hitter

Could you strike out you at your best as a hitter without even with blindfolded probably? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, definitely strike me out. Throw the Hammer High fastball.

This is a hypothetical self-assessment from a professional two-way athlete.

David Ross will be a successful manager because he won't let superstars get bigger than the team

David [Ross] has always been that leader on the team anyway... what they did was was you know, they didn't let a superstar get outside of the team. So I think when you understand what he was as a player who he was him stepping into the manager role, it's not I don't think it's really going to be much different for him.

Ross managed the Cubs from 2020-2023, leading them to one playoff appearance in the shortened 2020 season but ultimately being replaced by Craig Counsell after failing to make the playoffs in three full seasons.
