Yeah, no, I think that's true.

John Schneider brought up names like Tim Meza, Jordan Romano, Jimmy Garcia, when it came to players they relied on so much a few years ago.

And then that toll eventually presented itself and it's tough to overcome.

Yeah, they've got to step up.

And like we said at the start, last year is the time, this is the time that they really started playing well.

If you want to be the best again, if you want to represent the American League once again, well, time to step the game up and find some offense and hopefully get some health as well because that would go a long way.

Doing great.

Hey, Blake.

Good to be on with you.

Yeah, I still feel like it's relatively early in our Jays Talk Plus conversations this year, so I still feel like we have a lot of ground to cover.

100%.

Well, as you know, Blake, and we talk about other teams all the time, like I love following the entire league, love talking about other teams.

The Jays, of course.

I mean, I'm from London, Ontario.

I've followed the Jays my whole life.

So that has always been the number one team that interests me.

But beyond that, yeah, there are tons of storylines.

We could talk about Aaron Judge's shoulder or whatever's happening with the Padres.

So, you know, definitely keep that in the back burner if we want to go there as well.

Really fun.
