There's a lot of potential there and a lot of experience there in big moments.

So you expect more out of him than you do out of a Spencer Miles or a Hayden Yinger and Adam Mako, as the Blue Jays should.

But the reality is they're just having to make up so much of this on the fly.

So hopefully Dylan sees comes out of that bullpen session on the on the weekend feeling relatively good feeling like he doesn't need that much more time.

And then you're hoping the Max Scherzer can make his progress and Shane Bieber to behind this group because otherwise and even you know looking ahead to that sale game it's like.

I don't know how they're going to get through this.

Like it's, it's pretty tough because clearly, you know, Austin both was a big part of the answer.

The first time that spot came up, he's not going to be a part of the solution this time.

So they have to make it up again on the fly, puts more pressure on the bullpen.

So it's just, yeah, miles is a part of it, but so many moving pieces on this pitching staff.

I'm actually almost kind of surprised that there are only two games under 500.

Yeah, I'm going to say B+.

I hope that that's not too harsh.

I want to give him a good grade.

I think when you look at the offensive side of it, it's been great because he has really carried over what he did in a mostly full-time role last year where he didn't have his own position, but he was pretty much in there every day.

He's built on that.

He's carried that over.

wouldn't change a thing offensively.

He's still swinging at balls at the eyes and doing Ernie Clement things.

That's who he is.
