00:00Mark, I know this sounds strange, but like sometimes when you have your best player or
00:07a top player go out and then the team plays better, people go, well, they're better without
00:12him.
00:13How do you explain the Padres success without Fernando Tatis?
00:16Great question.
00:19I don't think we're better without him.
00:21Certainly.
00:22However, what that does is it creates opportunity for other guys and you see what Solano has
00:27done.
00:28Peralta hit another homerun today.
00:30Guys get opportunities and they seize it and I think that's contagious up and down the
00:35lineup.
00:36You know, that's what guys who maybe have been starters in the past and aren't anymore
00:42or are trying to establish themselves, all they're looking for is opportunities.
00:46And I think they're getting all the support they need from the staff and from their teammates.
00:52But certainly, I like our lineup with Fernando in it much better, but, you know, hey, the
00:59other guys are stepping up and that's a positive.
