A little bit of age in the rotation with Scherzer and Bieber.

You've got all these kind of things that

I believe in them, and I believe in their squad, and I watch them, and I got to be around those guys and see what they have.

But it's also very, very difficult, you know, to do that.

Yeah, and that's a realistic expectation.

Even in today's game where we've changed to the 5-6 out of starting pitchers, I think that he could be a classic case of,

We are contract driven by alternate data, right?

By other data, by spin rates, by, you know, velo and swing and miss.

Like a pitcher throws an inning and goes one, two, three with five pitches and gets three ground balls out.

And another guy goes an inning and goes two hits, two runs, but he strikes out three and he has a lot more swing and miss.

We go, well, we want the guy with the three strikeouts, even though he's got an 18 ERA right now.

And so I think with a guy like Cease, he's already paid.

He's got his money.

I would challenge him to say, hey, how can we get outs early in the game that aren't strikeouts?

How can we use your stuff and just get weak ground balls or weak fly balls and not worry so much?

The punch outs are going to come.

He can fall out of bed and he's going to strike out eight, seven, and eight in the game.

This is how much his stuff plays.

He's got swing and miss fastball, swing and miss breaking ball.

He's really, really not that.
