They need those things to continue.
And then ideal world, you know, you have Charles McAdoo run into a few more baseballs and maybe David Schneider can find a way to heat up at AAA.
He's walking a ton down there, by the way, not striking out, also not really swinging or hitting yet.
He's just walking almost all the time at AAA.
But, you know, you need those supplementary players to step up and provide, you know, some more offense at a time that Vladdy's not hitting home runs.
Yeah, I think that is safe to say.
And to an extent, it's like, hey, if they're not throwing strikes, what can he do?
But, you know, I don't know.
He's got to find a way to show that he can do some damage because Major League pitchers are going to be finer.
They're going to have more precision.
They're going to have a better plan of attack.
So for the next time that David Schneider is called up, he has to have an answer to them, a better answer to Major League pitching.
But hey, in the meantime, I mean, shout out to Charles McAdoo for finding a way to hit a home run in what was a huge game, really led by rookies in that game against the Orioles, where you have Adam Macko's first career start.
You have Braden Fisher's first career save.
You have McAdoo's first career home run.
This is kind of what they wanted when they called him up, right, to get someone who can
the work that he's done he's really earned his way up here man big picture when you look at a lot of these names that we're mentioning the blue jays are relying a lot on rookies this season and it's valenzuela it's kazuma okamoto even though he has a lot of pro experience this is his first season in major league baseball of course it's pinongo who they've relied on a ton and
Um, on the, and McAdoo, who we just mentioned on the pitching side, Spencer miles, you know, even though it was a pretty rough start, uh, I actually thought he was, I thought he was okay.
I thought the Orioles put some good swings on him in that Sunday outing.
And he's still a huge part of this.
