Yeah, it's interesting, right?
He got hit by David Peterson.
I think it was 97 right on the shoulder blade.
And I think ever since then, you look at the numbers, they don't lie.
I mean, his average has come back up lately, but the pop's just not quite there.
And it's hard, Bart.
You know, man, dude, like to pitch and be at the highest level of pitching and then hit and be at the highest level of hitting to do both at the highest level, I think is...
an unrealistic expectation.
I think he's very driven by pitching this year.
I think his stuff is as good as we've seen it.
You know, that slider that he's throwing right now is the same slider on a nightly basis 90% of the time that he threw Mike Trout in the WBC to strike him off.
It gets to 58 feet and then it just has a left-hand turn and you can't hit it.
Dude, it's ridiculous.
I'm watching the spin on this thing.
He's throwing it to perfection.
He's very, very motivated, I think,
to get that Cy Young because it's something in his hardware case that he doesn't have.
I know, right?
And I've talked to Dave about this, and Dave said it's hard, man, because, like, what do you say to the guy who won you two World Trees in a row?
He's 50-50.
