And this is assuming that Bieber comes in and he's fine and kind of looks like Shane Bieber, but the fifth starter spot is just too much of a question mark.

I think at this point, if you're the blue Jays, you know, Corbin struggled enough, Scherzer struggled enough, hasn't stayed healthy.

You don't, we talked earlier about how reliable these bullpen days have been, but you do not want to continue to do that in the second half.

So I think big picture that really the,

the emphasis on what the Blue Jays have to do hasn't really changed because I think even earlier in the year, we would look at the trade deadline as a time to get a starter.

And I think that's just kind of big picture what the focus has to be.

Oh, it was great.

You know, like I haven't covered basketball in a long time.

And honestly, it's kind of nice to cover a woman.

I've spent so many time around the Blue Jays and obviously covering men that it's kind of nice to be around a woman's team, a woman's professional team, because it's been a while.

I haven't really done any PWHL just because by the time that league came into existence, I was like fully in on basketball.

on baseball.

And so that's just a really fun, you know, the environment is really great.

It's, you know, kind of a smaller, more intimate arena, but that, that kind of helps because the crowd gets really into it.

The play is really good.

And yeah, the, the team seems really excited to be in Toronto.

They seem to have really embraced the experience.

And it's, it's kind of interesting, just kind of,

writing about or kind of chronicling an expansion team because there is a bit of like less pressure on it.

Obviously the tempo, they want to be a great team, but I was really impressed with their head coach.
