The Shrewdness discusses the latest from the World Baseball Classic, as Team USA is on the brink of elimination after a loss to Italy.
00:00:22
Soon as fans, welcome to another episode of the Shrewdness where
00:00:28
we're going to talk some baseball.
00:00:30
We know you love baseball like we do.
00:00:32
And if you love baseball, or even if you like it a little
00:00:34
bit, you're watching a little bit of the World Baseball
00:00:36
Classic because gosh darn it, you're a red blooded American
00:00:40
and therefore you're rigged for America in this World Baseball
00:00:43
Classic. And, and Dexter said last week
00:00:46
and, and we started talking about the World Baseball
00:00:48
Classic. And it's very true.
00:00:50
Like even if you don't like baseball, you should watch this
00:00:52
because the games are electric from the beginning.
00:00:54
And it is spot on. I've turned on several games
00:00:56
this week. The crowd's going nuts.
00:00:58
Doesn't matter who's playing. They're super excited for their
00:01:02
country and it's a lot of fun to watch.
00:01:04
But we just had really interesting results tonight.
00:01:07
We decided we had to do an episode as a result because we
00:01:10
wanted it to be timely regarding the US.
00:01:14
But to give you more detail on that, let me toss it over to
00:01:18
decks, who's going to give us the lowdown on World Baseball
00:01:21
Classic and what's going on all. Right.
00:01:24
So we are down to one day left of pool play and so with one day
00:01:30
left, so tomorrow, Wednesday after.
00:01:32
This like the last day of summer, it is one day left of
00:01:35
pool. Play There are four pools and
00:01:38
Pool C in Tokyo is done. We know the two teams advancing.
00:01:42
It'll be Japan who swept it at four and O and Korea who was the
00:01:47
top of a three team, two and two tie.
00:01:51
And with the tiebreakers, which we'll talk about here in a
00:01:53
minute, they end up getting in ahead of Australia and Chinese
00:01:57
Taipei. So Korea squeaks in with the
00:01:59
second spot out. Pool C in Tokyo, Pool D down in
00:02:04
Miami. So this is Venezuela, Dominican
00:02:06
Republic, Israel, Netherlands, Nicaragua.
00:02:09
Venezuela and Dominican Republic are both 3 and O and they play
00:02:12
each other tomorrow night. It's just kind of, it'll be a
00:02:14
great game. It means nothing.
00:02:16
Those are the two teams that are going to go forward.
00:02:18
But pride, baby, pride is going to make this a phenomenal game
00:02:22
and the Dr. and Venezuela have been exactly as advertised,
00:02:27
incredible. Dominican Republic has just been
00:02:29
bashing the Bejesus out of the ball with Juan Soto and Tetis.
00:02:34
It's just the entire line that we talked about last week.
00:02:37
They're all just beating the ball.
00:02:39
So that's going to be awesome. They're they're both going to be
00:02:41
into bracket play pool A. So down in San Juan, PR, there
00:02:46
is a tremendous game tomorrow. So Puerto Rico is in at 3:00 and
00:02:51
1:00. So they are going to be moving
00:02:52
on the game tomorrow between Canada and Cuba.
00:02:55
So both of them are two and one. The winner advances, the loser
00:03:00
is done and for Canada, believe it'd be the first time they
00:03:03
advance if they win. So it'd be a huge deal.
00:03:06
In Cuba, they they're traditionally a very good team,
00:03:10
obviously being upset for them if they don't win.
00:03:13
But Puerto Rico, they lost tonight to Canada 3 to 2.
00:03:17
And that's what opened the door for this phenomenal game
00:03:19
tomorrow to decide the winner to move on.
00:03:22
Well, no, I was shocked. Canada has played really well
00:03:27
and actually what's been super impressive about them is their
00:03:30
pitching. They haven't allowed many runs.
00:03:32
It's not like they've scored a lot, but they've but they've
00:03:35
found a way to win. And if, if the US, which we'll
00:03:39
talk about in a minute, doesn't make it through, I think you're
00:03:41
going to have to look at our pitching is the reason why,
00:03:44
because we've scored a lot of runs right now.
00:03:46
The US has scored the second most runs of any team in in Pool
00:03:51
play. So let let's talk about that.
00:03:53
Let's talk about that. And as as far as the excitement,
00:03:55
if you didn't see the walk off home run winner for Puerto Rico
00:03:59
in the place just erupted, you need to go watch it.
00:04:03
I mean, I I still don't know what to tell you, but everything
00:04:05
just goes complete ape bananas and just pure chaos and joy and
00:04:10
happiness. Awesome.
00:04:13
Not so much today 'cause they lost a can of three to two.
00:04:16
But at the end of the day, the home team had a lot of fun and
00:04:20
the crowds were just awesome there.
00:04:22
They were fun. It was like we said last week,
00:04:24
it's kind of like more like watching World Cup soccer.
00:04:26
Premier League is just going nuts.
00:04:29
All right, let's talk about US. Pool B down in Houston, USA
00:04:33
Cruises 3 and O. We are just rolling and rocking.
00:04:36
Everybody's just having a great time.
00:04:38
Talk about who we're going to match up with.
00:04:40
Maybe in the bracket play, we just have to play Italy.
00:04:43
Italy upstart Italy who's 2 and O like they're cute.
00:04:47
It's cute. Italy.
00:04:48
Let's go good story Italy great story.
00:04:51
We're going to throw Nola McLean.
00:04:53
He is the Mets one of their top pitchers and he's a he'll be.
00:04:57
I don't know if he's still consider rookie.
00:04:59
He came up last year at the end of the year.
00:05:01
He's still in the MLB top 100 prospects.
00:05:03
I guess he's still has rookie saddison.
00:05:05
I think he's a 6th or 7th overall prospect in baseball.
00:05:08
So we threw him today. He didn't do bad but he just
00:05:14
they got some runs early on him so we got down early 5 to
00:05:18
nothing so US down 5 nothing like.
00:05:21
Huh. Well, this isn't good because we
00:05:23
started running through all this stuff and here's the here's the
00:05:25
main take away is Mexican. Wait a second, wait a second
00:05:29
before you go on. Who did we get shut down by?
00:05:32
Dex. Michael Lorenzen, of course.
00:05:35
He is a. The Royals.
00:05:39
Wait, Michael Lorenzen, the five starter for the Royals last
00:05:43
year, is that what he's? Talking about that's the same
00:05:45
one, same one. He's got some nasty stuff.
00:05:47
That's why he was he could only be the 5th starter on the
00:05:49
Royals. We have so much talent there.
00:05:51
He was relegated to the fifth spot, but now we have Noah
00:05:54
Cameron. So we'll talk about Royals
00:05:55
later. But regardless, Michael Lorenzen
00:05:57
pitched phenomenal. Great start today, too good to
00:06:02
start today. He put us in a bind.
00:06:05
If you're a Team USA fan, which I know you all are, and that is
00:06:09
the issue is now we came back. So US came back.
00:06:12
We're down 5 nuts. It was getting buried.
00:06:14
It was 8 nothing. We were down 8 nuts. 8 nuts and
00:06:18
then we got a home run. So Gunner Henderson hit one and
00:06:22
then Pete Crow Armstrong. God love, chaos love.
00:06:25
Chaos. He hit two dingers for Team USA
00:06:28
Today, almost single handedly brought us back.
00:06:31
But in the end, Bryce Harper struck out in the eighth inning
00:06:34
with two runners on down 8 to 5 or a fly ball down eight to
00:06:38
five. That one kind of hurt.
00:06:40
And then in the 9th inning we got the tying run on Aaron Judge
00:06:45
strikes out to end the game. So now we're in a pickle.
00:06:48
So now the US is 3 and 1, Mexico's two and one, Italy's
00:06:52
three and O, and here you would say 3 and 1 is.
00:06:55
Three and one should get you index.
00:06:57
Right. Three and one should get you in
00:06:58
if you're in any other pool, in any other pool.
00:07:00
But we had. We're in.
00:07:02
The pool with the P, aren't we? We're in the.
00:07:04
Pool floating Tootsie Roll is a out and about and the Snickers
00:07:09
bar is sneaking up on the Tootsie Rolls and we're.
00:07:11
Swimming in it Tootsie Roll. South America.
00:07:13
That's right. So here's the issue is now we
00:07:17
are the biggest Italian fans in the world.
00:07:22
Team Italia. Which is perfect.
00:07:25
'Cause we got Davini Pasco with Dino.
00:07:27
And we we love the Italians, so we are all in on Italy tomorrow
00:07:34
because if they win, US gets to just scrape on in in the 2 hole.
00:07:39
But here's the problem, if Mexico wins now we have 3 teams,
00:07:44
all tied, three and one, and the tiebreaker rules are of 12 U
00:07:50
ilk. If you've ever had a kid play 12
00:07:52
U baseball and each term you look up the new rules and see is
00:07:55
it runs a lot or does it run scores?
00:07:56
Run differential, Is it head to head?
00:07:58
What is it? Start looking up your favorite
00:08:01
math major because. You'll need.
00:08:03
Some help to figure out how they.
00:08:05
Use quotient in the in the rules quotient yes I don't want to
00:08:09
talk about Lois quotient of fewest runs earned divided by
00:08:12
number of defensive outs recorded in a game What who
00:08:14
talks like that well, we're going to.
00:08:17
It's that ratio, but only of the teams that played each other or
00:08:20
that are that are viable buying for the.
00:08:23
Final spot. So of the teams that are tied,
00:08:26
here's the take away runs aloud. And the problem is Italy hung 8
00:08:30
on us today. That's not good.
00:08:32
That hurts. That hurts bad.
00:08:34
So now that Italy is hung eight runs on us, we need a high
00:08:38
scoring affair because we have allowed eleven runs, so 53.
00:08:42
We beat Mexico and we lost 8 to 6 to Italy.
00:08:45
So the issue is we have given up 11 runs.
00:08:48
So we need we need a high scoring game.
00:08:51
We just need the next team. If Mexico and Italy like as
00:08:56
Chisholm was talking about in the Patreon, as long as the
00:08:58
first inning 6 to 6, we're. Good.
00:09:01
We'll just watch Italy and still root for Jack Gaglione and Mini
00:09:04
Pistol. Team offense.
00:09:07
Ends the offense. And it might be because here's
00:09:09
The thing is these teams don't have a lot of pitching depth.
00:09:12
That's always the problem with the World Baseball Classic is
00:09:15
you're on a pitch count for one. So in the opening round you can
00:09:18
only throw 65 pitches and then you got days off.
00:09:21
And so they'll probably be able to throw their initial starter,
00:09:24
but if you do that, you don't have them for bracket play,
00:09:27
which is the knockout round. But I guess if you don't win
00:09:29
tomorrow, if Mexico doesn't win, they are in knockout round right
00:09:32
now. So it started early for you and
00:09:34
that's the issue. So we're rooting for a high
00:09:36
scoring affair. Team USA is far and away the
00:09:39
favorite in this tournament. This as we talked about the.
00:09:42
Tournament. Stacked.
00:09:43
We've got Cy Young winners that didn't even get to pitch.
00:09:45
Clayton Kershaw hadn't even pitched yet.
00:09:47
And that's the bet that I. Placed also indicated that that
00:09:52
the US was was the favorite of the tournament.
00:09:55
So if they don't get through to the to the knockout round, holy
00:09:58
cow, what? It it would be horrible.
00:10:01
This would be the biggest let down, I think in American sports
00:10:06
in a exceptionally long time, long time.
00:10:08
It would be brutal. And The thing is, they'll have
00:10:10
gone 3 and 1, you know, yeah, they may not advance.
00:10:14
So that's that's kind of brutal, but so it breaks.
00:10:18
Down to like Dex said, Italy's got.
00:10:20
If Italy wins, we're through. Or if Mexico wins and scores at
00:10:24
least six, Yeah, so that's the key.
00:10:27
So we need either Italy to win or Mexico score 6.
00:10:31
I need a slow test. Let's talk about let's talk
00:10:34
about what's been going on. So that's kind of how it gets
00:10:36
there. Here's who's.
00:10:37
Been Italy win. Yeah, here's who let's.
00:10:40
Talk about that. We could talk about that.
00:10:43
It's a love hate relationship because of how they got up.
00:10:46
Was it Jack, the Royals, The Royals, We got it.
00:10:49
He was swinging at the sweepers and he finally connected on one
00:10:52
and deposited that thing about 10 rows up and right field.
00:10:55
Awesome. Nothing wrong with that.
00:10:57
Love that and. Except there was the difference
00:11:00
in the game. I know when they hit it we were
00:11:03
like, I love it but I kind of hate it because I put this down.
00:11:06
5 Nothing. Now it was a rocket.
00:11:08
It was a rocket. But for Team USA, they've gotten
00:11:13
to be 3 and 1 on the back of pitching.
00:11:16
Until tonight, pitching was phenomenal.
00:11:18
We'd gone, but I think we'd allowed two walks and 53
00:11:22
strikeouts. Or it was something ridiculous
00:11:24
because we just had everybody just dominating everyone.
00:11:27
And then tonight, the pitching let us down.
00:11:29
This is what's up. And it was Brad Keller.
00:11:32
We had to look up which Keller. It was.
00:11:35
Brad Keller gave up. Three runs, some Royals pass.
00:11:37
We're in this game in a big way. We had Brad Keller giving up,
00:11:41
throwing the ball all over the yard, throwing it into the
00:11:44
center field for a run, throwing a.
00:11:46
Well, inch for a. Run like it was just wheels were
00:11:49
just off. It was.
00:11:52
We out hit, we out hit Italy 11 to 6 I think and still lost this
00:11:57
game. And The thing is we got them all
00:11:59
late. So we we scored one run, the
00:12:01
6th, 3, seventh one, the 8th one in the ninth.
00:12:04
We are coming. We were coming.
00:12:05
We just started too late. And the problem is, I don't know
00:12:10
what's the problem. I would have done probably the
00:12:12
exact same thing because we're going against Italy, but we took
00:12:15
out most of our starters that have been starting the first
00:12:17
three games. I mean, I didn't really mind
00:12:20
this one and as a Twins fan, it hurts me to say, but I'd rather
00:12:23
have Pete Crow Armstrong in because I think he's kind of a
00:12:26
better all around hitter than Byron Buxton right now.
00:12:28
So I I like that one, but Bryce Tarang, I really like Bryce
00:12:33
Tarang way more than I like Ernie Clement.
00:12:35
Now, nothing wrong with Clement. Heck of a nice dude, heck of a
00:12:38
player, but Bryce Trang has just been tearing the cover off the
00:12:42
ball for team USAI didn't need to see that and Cal rally.
00:12:47
He took out her sixty home run catcher switch hitter.
00:12:51
And it's not that Will Smith did bat.
00:12:53
He was 2 for 4:00 tonight. Nothing wrong with that.
00:12:54
But it's like you had chemistry going and I just they all knew
00:12:58
the role when they got called by Derosa is like, do you want to
00:13:02
play on team US A/B T Dubs? You're not going to be the
00:13:04
starter. Here's my starters.
00:13:05
They all said yes, right? I would have rather had them
00:13:09
come in later in the 15, five games instead of starting Game 4
00:13:14
when it turns out we kind of needed to win this after all.
00:13:17
And have your backups come in because I think yesterday we had
00:13:21
six at bats for some dudes 6 plate appearance.
00:13:24
That's the time when you bring them in in the 6th, 7th inning,
00:13:26
Let them get there, a couple of bats get their swings in.
00:13:28
Why not do it in the blowouts? So the problem is we wasted
00:13:33
those two games, the Brazil and Great Britain game where I
00:13:36
wanted to see the other guys play later after we were up
00:13:39
eight runs and we kind of wasted up to you.
00:13:42
So Derosa did what probably you would expect.
00:13:45
He started the other guys. The other guys started today.
00:13:47
So Gunnar Henderson started for Bregman, he did get a dinger.
00:13:51
So it is what it is. Again Will Smith he he did fine
00:13:55
2 before nothing. Wrong with you.
00:13:57
Yeah, Pico. Appreciated.
00:13:59
Well, he's, I mean he. Was he was actually a really
00:14:01
huge boon, right? But as far as our pitchers, they
00:14:04
did not do well. So McLean 3 innings, three runs.
00:14:09
Yarborough, 2 innings, 3 runs, but two earned.
00:14:12
And then we got this. I guess none of those actually
00:14:14
went to Keller, but it sure looked like they're all his.
00:14:17
The unearned. Runs and they should have.
00:14:19
They should have been to Keller for sure.
00:14:21
Yeah, so he had two runs, none earned because of his own error,
00:14:24
which I always find is. I never liked that rule.
00:14:27
I know if you make the air and you're the.
00:14:29
Pitcher, it's on you. You did it, but an air is
00:14:32
narrow. So those those kind of hurt.
00:14:35
But anyway, on the positive side, though, the impressive,
00:14:39
the guy who's absolutely stood out and it's not even being a
00:14:41
Homer is Bobby Witt Junior. He has been a human highlight
00:14:44
reel. He went 2 for five today
00:14:47
advancing base. He's been stealing bases.
00:14:49
He's been making phenomenal plays at shortstop.
00:14:52
He's been showing off his arm, been taking the extra base on
00:14:55
wild pitches, pass balls, stolen bases when he's not getting
00:14:58
double s himself. So Bobby Wood has stood out a
00:15:01
lot. I think Bryce Terrang has stood
00:15:03
out for Team USA and I think those two, Roman Anthony's done
00:15:08
very well. For a 21 year old kid thrown
00:15:10
into the spotlight and being in the middle of this line up, I
00:15:12
think Roman Anthony's done really well.
00:15:14
Those are kind of the ones that I think have looked really good.
00:15:17
Is there anyone else that you would like to highlight that to
00:15:20
you has stood out for Team USA other than those guys?
00:15:23
Chaos like we mentioned. Yeah.
00:15:25
Oh yeah, he's done great as a backup, even.
00:15:28
He hasn't really had a chance to shine as much as Buxton and so
00:15:33
forth, but he's done well. You're right, he's been awesome.
00:15:36
He did great. I mean, I, I don't know how we
00:15:38
we can't talk about Paul Skeens and that start.
00:15:43
Yep, yeah. That's.
00:15:44
Exactly what he'd expect him to look like.
00:15:47
Like just, I mean, it's, it's so dumb how easy it is for him.
00:15:51
Like it's like this stuff is just is crazy right now.
00:15:56
Pitching. Pitching is Pitching is pretty
00:15:59
easy for Paul Skeens. Interviews are not.
00:16:03
Easy for Paul Skeens, Not so easy for Paul Skeens.
00:16:05
That's alright. Not a big talker.
00:16:07
He's not a big a big personality.
00:16:09
Guy he's not super prepared for how to.
00:16:12
Respond to. What did this mean to you?
00:16:14
To pitch for Team USA or something?
00:16:16
No, like he had not been media coached for sure.
00:16:20
Yeah, which is he does kind of weird, right?
00:16:22
He does play. For Pittsburgh.
00:16:23
So I get it. Yeah, not quite.
00:16:25
The do you get a lot of interviews?
00:16:27
They do. There are a few here and there.
00:16:30
But I mean schemes, schemes that, that was a a ridiculous
00:16:35
start. And you know, I don't know if I
00:16:39
would have done anything different in the pitching
00:16:41
rotation. I wouldn't have either.
00:16:43
I, I don't think you would because like, I don't know, I, I
00:16:47
don't think people expected Italy being this good.
00:16:50
Italy is really, really played well.
00:16:53
Right. Yeah.
00:16:54
Yeah, you know, so I think you probably play it like you did,
00:16:58
but man it, it sure does. Sure does hurt to be sitting and
00:17:01
waiting now. It does.
00:17:04
It's that spot we thought we'd be in at all.
00:17:07
We were already popping champagne for the bracket round,
00:17:09
but is what it is. I think the teams that have
00:17:12
looked the most dominant elsewhere outside of the Team
00:17:14
USA in our bracket, think Dominican Republic has looked
00:17:18
really, really good. I mean, obviously 3 and O, but
00:17:21
they've just been pounding people.
00:17:23
Venezuela, they've been, they got a really good line up too.
00:17:26
I mean, Venezuela is really good.
00:17:28
And Luis Arise, so our batting champ guy, the only time he hits
00:17:31
home runs is World Baseball Classic.
00:17:33
So Louis Arise of the two home runs per year guy already has
00:17:37
two home runs in the World Baseball Classic.
00:17:39
He just doesn't hit him unless it's for team Venezuela.
00:17:42
It's the it's the weirdest. It's so true.
00:17:44
Shohei Otani has been an absolute beast.
00:17:47
So 5 for 9, two home runs, four walks.
00:17:52
He has a 692 on base, A1333 slug and a 2025 OPS.
00:17:59
So Shohei's done fine for Japan, which is why they've rolled
00:18:01
through four and O and he's not even pitching.
00:18:04
But again, he doesn't you. Got to get how about, How about
00:18:07
you? Got to give a shout out to Duran
00:18:09
Duran who almost single handedly beat the Team USA last night.
00:18:15
Yeah, Jaron Duran had two home runs against Team USA, as did
00:18:19
Manny Ramirez's son. What Luis Ramirez?
00:18:21
Is that his name? Can't remember but Lucas.
00:18:24
Lucas Ramirez. Lucas, that's what it is.
00:18:26
Lucas Ramirez. So he had a couple dingers as
00:18:28
well. It's just there's been some very
00:18:31
stand out performances. They've been very fun to watch.
00:18:34
Hopefully you guys are watching the other teams because again,
00:18:36
the fun ones. Watch Dominican Republic and
00:18:38
Venezuela tomorrow if you have time and you got two TV's
00:18:42
because I think it's going to be the same time was the other one
00:18:45
too. But the can of Cubic Games going
00:18:48
to be fun to watch. It's going to mean a lot.
00:18:50
These teams both desperately want to win and Venezuela
00:18:53
Dominican just can be for pure pride, but they are a blast to
00:18:57
watch. It is just.
00:18:58
That will be an awesome party. Atmosphere, absolutely, for
00:19:01
sure. It's gonna be super fun, but I
00:19:03
think that's gonna kind of get us set up.
00:19:06
Prue, are there any games that you were rooting for other than
00:19:09
Italy tomorrow? Like who are you looking for in
00:19:12
the other two games? You want Canada or Cuba or do
00:19:14
you have a a dog in the fight? Do you care at all?
00:19:17
I don't care too much. I'm rooting for offense in that
00:19:21
Dr. game. Yeah, Venezuela or whatever
00:19:24
they're that's that would be a fun game.
00:19:27
Yeah, I think that'll take care of itself with those line UPS.
00:19:30
Yeah, no doubt. I'll make I want to see Salvi.
00:19:33
I want to see Salvi go go yard in that game, so I'd like to
00:19:36
see. That would be cool.
00:19:37
I guess I'll root for Team Canada.
00:19:39
I'm I'm always good for rooting for an underdog somewhere.
00:19:44
Yeah, I think so. Too huge, huge accomplishment
00:19:46
for that team in that pool. They are.
00:19:50
They were definitely the odd man looking out if he looked at the
00:19:54
the pool originally so. For them to.
00:19:56
And that's the. Afternoon game.
00:19:58
Is. Great.
00:19:59
Is the afternoon one nice? That's the afternoon game.
00:20:01
The the the 3:00 game is our 2:00 central, Canada, Cuba,
00:20:07
Cuba, Italy, Mexico 6:00 central and Dominican Venezuela 7:00
00:20:12
central. So that's crazy.
00:20:14
That's three. That's three pretty good games
00:20:16
tomorrow then, because that's. Real.
00:20:18
Yeah, really good. Games one that means a lot and
00:20:20
the other two that should be means a lot to the US and a good
00:20:23
offensive. Recruiting interests for sure 2.
00:20:27
Teams that could be there in the finals, really.
00:20:29
Yeah. And if the US does make the
00:20:31
quarterfinals, quarterfinals start on Friday.
00:20:34
And then if if they were to be so lucky as to advance the
00:20:37
semis, those are on Sunday and Sunday and Monday and then
00:20:41
Tuesday is the the final. Yeah, down in Miami.
00:20:46
Has the US in it? Yes.
00:20:48
So this. Miami, that's going to be a lot
00:20:50
of fun. I really hope Team USA is in
00:20:52
there. It'll be an absolute kick in the
00:20:55
gut. If they don't make it, it'd be
00:20:57
horrible. Yeah, well.
00:20:58
So hopefully they get there, but anyway, we'll try and get this
00:21:01
one out quick so you can listen to it before the the games start
00:21:04
tomorrow. Be good.
00:21:06
But anyway, I hope that you guys enjoy this quick little summary
00:21:09
of where we're at, what's going on.
00:21:11
So then you know kind of what's going on in the stakes involved
00:21:14
for the games 'cause I think it's going to be just a crazy
00:21:18
day of baseball that really is going to mean a lot for these
00:21:21
countries and these teams. So get out there, watch it,
00:21:25
check it out, and as is always during these games, make sure
00:21:29
stay shrewd. Stay shrewd.
