And it's, you know, these things even out a little bit.

And I know some people might be saying, well, hey, like you forgot about Mason Fluharty.

I look at his his numbers against right handed batters this year, 935 OPS allowed.

That's what prevents me from saying that Mason Fluharty is in that inner inner circle because righties are hitting him pretty well this year.

He leads the league in appearances.

Yeah, that's a great point.

He's been pitching so much.

So you get exposed a little bit.

You're putting so much strain on your body.

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%.
