00:00I wanted to ask you, Bruce, about PCA. I know it's probably just the headline for you every day,

00:08but I just want to get your thoughts on what you think has been the best part of it all coming

00:13together for him this year. I think between the years. That's where I think it's really come

00:20together for him. The idea that he's calmed himself down. He doesn't deal with anxiety

00:28after a bad at bat. Instead, he just files it away. He's intelligently attacking each at bat

00:36differently. I mean, you saw him yesterday. First of all, he's a great entertainer. David and I

00:41talked about that all weekend. Just fantastic in Chicago to have somebody that entertains and

00:48performs. It's out of the ordinary with baseball. It's something that people complain about with

00:53baseball. There's just not enough entertainment. With him, like yesterday, it's an incredible long

01:00fly ball to right field. Right field is death at Wrigley Field, especially with wind blowing

01:07across or in. That ball would have been about 420 feet normally. He just stops at first base and

01:14he's staring at it. He gives you an extra three or four seconds as he's staring it before he goes

01:20back to the dugout. Great theater. I mean, fantastic. And it's natural. There's nothing

01:26forced about the guy. But I really think the thought process and everything coming together,

01:32if you look at his career in the minor leagues, he struggled at every level. And then once he got

01:37it, he dominated. I'm not going to say he's going to dominate forever in Major League Baseball,

01:43but he certainly is entertaining and has an awful lot of skill.
