Abby Labar

But I think that he would have to continue on this track of being very, very, very, very elite to get there.

Yeah, I mean, I guess short term, this is good news for Patrick Corbin because he probably gets a few more starts.

I mean, depending on how long Scherzer is going to be out for, obviously going to be the minimum 15.

But yeah, I think the easiest solution now is to get Bieber back.

Like I know that there were some quotes from Schneider yesterday where he'll join the major league team and then they'll sort of assess whether or not he's ready to be in the majors.

I mean, obviously he's at his pitch count.

I don't think there's any concerns about...

him being able to go out there and throw 80 to 100 pitches.

I think it's just a matter of, does he feel like his arm is ready?

Does he feel ready to compete?

I think ultimately, they probably will have Bieber go the next time that he can pitch because-

You know, you want to see what he has, right?

Maybe you could delay it one more start, send him back down to Buffalo for one more.

But at this point, if he's ready from a pitch count point of view, you probably just want to see how his stuff looks at the major league level.

Because, you know...

Sometimes the results in the rehab games, you can take them with a bit of a grain of salt because of things that adrenaline and all that kind of stuff isn't really working the same way as it would in the major.

So I do think it would probably make most sense, assuming that he's up for it, assuming that he feels ready to get Bieber into a major league start, see how he is, see where he's at.

This is kind of the time that we thought he would.

It is a lot later, I think, from what we thought at the start of the season.

But I think once we kind of knew that he was a little behind on schedule, I know that I saw kind of Father's Day bookmarked as maybe the time of year that people will be coming back.
