We talked about the team's lack of fight and grit, and whether it's a mental or physical issue. He also weighed in on the handling of young players like Bryce Eldridge and Patrick Bailey, and what the team's plan is for the rest of the season.

Buster shared his thoughts on the decision, and how it fits into the team's overall plan. We also talked about the team's farm system and the potential for some exciting young players to make an impact this season.
