But yeah, then those kind of like more role players at the bottom.
Obviously, we see David Schneider playing well.
Now that he's back with the team and I know, you know, Fenway has been maybe not historically always great for him, but he does have some happy memories there.
So you can understand why he maybe likes to return there.
So getting protection from him, getting protection from like Miles Straw, like those are the types of guys that are going to be like your role players, especially now that like Ernie Clement has sort of,
Moved up and it's probably more of like a middle of the order bat for you.
So I do think that getting some production from Jimenez would help would maybe soften the soften the effect of still Vlad struggling a little bit, which obviously at some point he's going to need to get going or the Blue Jays are maybe going to be able to hang on to a wildcard spot.
Because as we've talked about before, there's just not really a lot of teams pushing for that right now.
But yeah,
um you know here are the blue jays you do want to see vlad basically turn things on um but yeah i i think that you know if you can take advantage of a boston team that is having a bad year and get some of those guys that maybe haven't been as productive as they want to be um and you get them feeling good and you know fenway is always a nice place to hit too you know the the dimensions can be friendly uh can be friendly to the home team too but for whatever reason boston has played really bad at home this year i don't know why i don't know what's up that
Yeah, and I think that it goes with the guys executing and performing as well.
Bullpen days look a lot better when everybody pitches really well.
Obviously, if someone gets into trouble, if Brandon Fisher gets into trouble at the start of the game, it can all fall apart pretty quickly.
know we saw even last year in the playoffs the blue jays executed a really um you know carefully crafted a bullpen game and the reason why it looks so good was also because everybody was performing uh exactly as they should so a lot of credit to the bullpen um i think i was actually reading um shy's story today just before i came on and he was talking to tyler rogers who has experience playing on teams that go to bullpen days a lot i think he said like last year with the mets they didn't have a lot of starters had a lot of starter injuries
A couple of years ago with the Giants was a weird year for the Giants where they didn't have a lot of starters and they were using bullpen days.
Now, Rogers is kind of like the guy you want in those situations because he probably could pitch every single day if he wanted to.
But it does seem like the Blue Jays do have some arms in their bullpen that kind of can handle that stress.
Like, they don't get phased by it.
Someone like Louis Varlin seems like he doesn't really get phased by anything.
The fact that you have a sort of veteran in the bullpen that is Tyler Rogers that has seen a lot in his years, but also has this exact experience of a guy that β
