And I think especially for Kevin Gosman, Patrick Corbin as well.
But Corbin, as you said, he's more of a newcomer to this team.
Gosman is clearly one of the leaders of this ball club, of this pitching staff.
And we saw when Trey Savage didn't have his good stuff against the Orioles, okay, that put additional pressure on the rest of the pitching staff that game.
Ended up going to Hayden Yanger.
He struggles.
And lo and behold, the Blue Jays lose that Sunday game.
And so in this situation where they really only have three starting pitchers, the three starting pitchers they have have to provide five to six innings, if not more.
And I think that's abundantly clear to everyone.
It doesn't have to be said.
Kevin Gosman knows it.
So there's pressure on him.
There's pressure on Corbin, Yassavage, also the bullpen.
We saw Fluharty continue to pitch last night.
He is the MLB, or I believe he's the MLB leader in appearances.
He's within one or two of the MLB lead in appearances.
Then you have Braden Fisher, who continues to be used.
And of course, Hoffman, who, you know, that's a bit of an open question for them.
But along with Verland and Rodgers,
he has been used a ton to this point in the season.
