He's done some isometric exercises that have

relieved that tendonitis.

But then when he stopped playing the piano, his thumb started becoming an issue again.

So he was telling us like, I have to play the piano.

Like I'm back.

I got to play the piano if I want to pitch.

So he's playing the piano again.

And, uh, and seemingly the tendonitis has, has gone away and the thumb issue is, is good.

His arm is good.

So he's saying he's good to go.

Um, but yeah, I think, I, I think that the C's

Return is the biggest lever they can pull.

But man, I mean, as much as Scherzer is, of course, an older pitcher at this point in time, they could use him.

A healthy version of Max Scherzer can give you four innings and keep you in a game, five innings, six innings, keep you in a game.

That would help this current team.

I'm okay with that too.

If that's what's needed, if that's what Scherzer needs, because he knows himself so well at this point.

Scherzer just understands what a buildup looks like.

He was telling us in Tampa at one point, he knows doctors.

He talks to all kinds of pitchers.
