00:00Javi Baez got to town yesterday. He and the Tigers beat the White Sox 13-1.

00:06I know you guys are about to see the Tigers.

00:09We've talked a lot as a show about just Javi's success and how he's being utilized.

00:14Knowing that you guys are going to face him over the weekend,

00:17what do you think about not just that Tigers team, which is incredibly good,

00:21but also just how Javi's found a renaissance the way he has?

00:25Yeah, I think the Tigers have been playing great baseball.

00:27And Scott Harris is over there, and he was an assistant GM with us and a good friend.

00:34So to see them playing good baseball is awesome.

00:36But I think Anthony Iapose, he's the first base coach as well,

00:39who's our hitting coach for years.

00:41But Javi, just his ability to understand and play the game,

00:48I was fortunate enough to get to watch it for a long time and be a part of it for a long time.

00:52And so to see him bouncing around and playing center field and doing that at a high level

00:59and just being himself is really fun to see.

01:03And I know how much he loves the game.

01:05I know how much he loves to play.

01:07And he's out there every single day.

01:08He's never, no matter what was going on with his body, he was always out there and wanted to play.

01:13And so it was fun to see him doing well.

01:16Who on the Cubs do you think, is there a comp who has the most energy or that kind of joy

01:22that plays like Javi does now?

01:25I mean, yeah, Pete's got that in him.

01:29Pete's got that joy for the game, the flair for the dramatic, you know, the fanfare.

01:34And I think that people just love watching Pete play baseball as they did watching Javi play baseball.

01:42It's an exciting style of play.

01:46And so, yeah, you get a lot of that.

01:48And you get the fans chanting the PCA like they were for Javi.
