is used to pitching a lot and has been on teams where they relied on bullpen days a lot quite recently.

And then there's some younger guys, Mason Fluharty and Fisher.

Sometimes when you're early in your career, you just kind of don't know any better and you just go out and execute.

And so Braden Fisher, for me, really stands out as somebody that has that calm, cool, collected nature on the mound.

So I think he's almost perfect for those opener roles.

And he's done it enough now that he's almost kind of cemented himself as maybe that option and then...

You know, Simeon Woods Richardson, newer to the Blue Jays, but obviously the Blue Jays, you know, know something that could help him.

He was in their organization before, so maybe they had a little bit of a head start on being able to know how to get the best out of him.

But, you know, I know a former colleague of mine, Aaron Gleeman, who covers the Twins, he noted on social media yesterday that

Obviously, with the Blue Jays, it's only been two outings, but they've both been scoreless for swimming.

Obviously, with the Twins this year, his ERA was above seven or something.

I'm not saying the Blue Jays have solved anything, but it is interesting that someone like Pete Walker does have experience with taking on projects or guys that haven't worked with other teams.

He has a pedigree of success doing that, notably like a Robbie Rafe.

guy a few years ago uh with somebody that stands out to me so not saying that that is what you know simeons is on his way to a cy young or anything like that but um i'm just saying that you know the blue jays do know how to tinker with guys and it feels like they've kind of put together a bullpen that has enough veteran arms that has enough guys that don't get phased um that it makes sense to me how they've been able to execute these bullpen days really successfully

Yes, I did.

But I never voted for Cy Young.

I did Rookie of the Year a couple years.

This is going to sound bad, but I did Manager a couple years because, I don't know, sometimes the pressure gets to me and I'm like, well, Manager of the Year, it's

not the most high profile award.

But no, I've never done Cy Young.
