:17:02
Rog, you got a minute?
:17:05
Look, I had a tough one out there today.
I'd just rather not talk about it.
:17:09
I don't wanna talk about that anyway.
This is just between us.
:17:14
This might just be talk,
but the word is, you may be traded.
:17:18
What?
:17:20
You've always been straight with me.
I thought you should know.
:17:27
Trade you?
:17:29
What about last year?
Doesn't that mean anything?
:17:32
Mommy, can I have more juice?
:17:33
No, they only care if you're producing now.
:17:36
Everybody goes through a slump from
time to time. They're not gonna trade you.
:17:40
You don't understand.
:17:42
This is New York.
:17:44
These rumors don't just come
from nowhere.
:17:46
Im a piece of meat.
They can do what they want.
:17:52
- You wanted to see me, Ralph?
- Come on in, Roger.
:17:55
- Hi there, Mr. Topping.
- Sit down, Rog.
:17:57
Yeah.
:18:03
Obviously, you're not off
to the kind of start we'd all hoped for.
:18:07
We thought there were some problems
we weren't aware of.
:18:10
No problems.
:18:12
- How are things at home?
- How do you mean?
:18:15
I understand Pat's pregnant again.
:18:17
Everything all right with that?
:18:20
You know,
she's had a tough time with this one.
:18:22
We lost one a while back,
but I don't think it's affecting my play...
:18:26
...if that's what you mean.
:18:27
You're not worried about hitting.300?
:18:30
I'd like to get a couple hits, get myself
started, but it's just not happening.
:18:35
I don't care about your average, Rog.
Im paying you to hit home runs.
:18:38
Home runs and RBIs.
You should be swinging for the fences.
:18:42
That's why we brought you here.
:18:45
Sure. All right, then.
:18:47
- Okay, relax. Play ball.
- Yes, sir.
:18:52
Talk to you later.
:18:56
- Stick around. Will you, Rog?
- Yeah.
:18:59
- Mick?
- Yeah?
