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.

He's kind of in his own category when it comes to just...

understanding what it means to get back from an injury or to try to build up.

Like he's, he has so much experience, more than a lot of pitching coaches, more than a lot of managers.

When it comes to doing this, not, not Pete Walker and John Schneider necessarily, but this is, this is someone who knows himself in that process really, really well.

So if he says he needs time, give him time, totally agree.

You can roll with Spencer miles.

Conversely, if Scherzer says,

I feel great.

I threw 60 pitches.

We're good to go.

At that point, I probably would be inclined to trust him and say, all right, you say you're good to go.

You got bullets that you're ready to use in the major leagues.

Let's go.

And maybe that means a piggyback with Miles.
