Dylan Cease isn't really prepared to be effective for one right now. voice-verified

Like he couldn't give you that right now. voice-verified

And he is so important to this team. voice-verified

So I think everyone needs to get together and look at the way that he was paced this year and come up with a better plan for next season and voice-verified

so that this doesn't happen again voice-verified

So I think that looks like when he throws 118, not having him go over 100 again the next time and not having him go 120 two times later. voice-verified

It looks like because the season's a marathon and as in a marathon, pacing is everything. voice-verified

And there are times when you need to throttle down and deload, like decrease the stress and just like let things calm down, allow the body to recover as much as it can, just as there are times when you need to push and when you need to like turn it up to RPE eight or nine and like ask for more from your body and sort of test that fine line between performance and health. voice-verified

You want your starting pitchers, your workhorses voice-verified

peaking at the end of the season like you want them having as much as possible for that sprint at the end and like accelerating through the finish line into the tournament you don't want them in the position that ceases that right now voice-verified

So I think that there just needed to be better recognition at that time that even if he wasn't presenting any signs in that moment that they were asking too much of him and that the workload was a lot and that the stress was accumulating, just understanding the long view. voice-verified

And hey, there's a lot more baseball to be played here. voice-verified

And this guy is super important to us, especially considering the context of the Blue Jays pitching staff right now and what's happened to it this season, just overall with the injuries they've had on the starting staff and understanding, all right, let's build in those extra days. voice-verified

And hey, let's shorten up some outings and let's talk about what he's doing between starts and let's skip a bullpen and let's not do as much catch play. voice-verified

All of that just needed to be, I think, strategized better than it was. voice-verified

So voice-verified

Well, and in Cease, you're dealing with a thrower more so than a pitcher. voice-verified

And I think we've really seen that lately. voice-verified

It's a credit to Cease. voice-verified

He's still been able to get outs and get strikeouts as well with such diminished stuff. voice-verified
