It would definitely alleviate some of the stress placed on this bullpen.

And then Bieber, a couple starts away, we'll see probably looking toward the end of June for his return.

But

That's the big unknown to me, both as far as what the timeline is and as far as what we can expect to see from Bieber when he's back on the mound.

Yeah, very interesting just to hear a little bit more from Scherzer on his return, because he said that for a while he stopped playing the piano just to let the tendonitis in his forearm dissipate.

And that worked.

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.
