But the fact that he's 42 and still throwing 95, that's pretty remarkable.
I don't know how many 42-year-olds out there are able to do that.
So he's just like a genetic anomaly, honestly.
Like the fact that physically he's held up throwing as hard as he's thrown in as many innings as he's thrown over his career, that he's just an absolute freak physically to have been able to even just withstand the workload that he's had.
Yeah, John Schneider's never been shy to shake things up batting order-wise.
We all remember when Bowe was dropped and when Springer's been dropped in prior years.
So I got nothing wrong with him moving things around.
I think people know by now my batting order opinions are pretty soft.
The only thing I would really criticize with a batting order is if Schneider's was like,
Tonight, it's going to be Heinemann leading off with Straw in the two hole and Jimenez hitting third.
At that point, I would have some questions about the batting order.
But as long as towards the top, you've got some combination of Vlad, Lucas, Clement, Springer, Sanchez, I'm not going to really have much of a problem with the batting order.

You can say, this is where I'm comfortable.
This is where I want to hit.
And as a team, as a manager, as a front office, you're going to say, OK, there's clearly like this player is performing.
There's no reason to knock them off of whatever is working for them right now.
But there's only one player on the Blue Jays who's even OPSing 800.
And that's Jesus Sanchez, who's OPS in 805.
