Yeah, like the Blue Jays, and even looking ahead where the Blue Jays are in the wildcard mix with its teams like Cleveland's there, which they have been playing better.
The Mariners are lucky that they play in the West right now, which is very weak, because I think they're in a playoff spot, not even playing very well, playing probably worse than the Blue Jays, or they've been similarly up and down.
Yeah.
Like the state of the American league is what it is.
The blue Jays should be able to take advantage of that.
And as you said, this 16 and 16, always tough to do, especially with the number of injuries they've had and a starter going down, but the schedule is kind of being nice to them.
Boston obviously is having a disaster season.
The Cubs have been completely up and down all year.
Then you have the Astros, not really a competitive team anymore.
And the Rangers who are kind of similar to the blue Jays.
So it's,
This 16 and 16 actually is a period where they can make up some ground or create some space in that wildcard race, I think.
Yeah, I mean, anywhere you can get it, you're going to take it.
If you're the Blue Jays, obviously it's been a bit of a slog offensively for them this year, just not getting the production that they expected to get out of some of those big bats.
The bottom of the order is somewhere where you, it's, I don't know, it's like house money sometimes when you get some production from the bottom of the order, if they can turn it around to the top of the order, especially with George Springer going a little bit now.
I know the broadcast was talking about him
last night because he's had a couple of nice games in Fenway.
And the fact is that, you know, we do have to probably wonder like as he gets further and further away from that broken toe, if that was causing him to drag a little bit, it certainly seems possible that he
I know was playing slightly injured for what much of May probably and maybe the start of June.
So the fact that he's coming around is reason for optimism.
