All those runs scored, they end up losing Saturday and Sunday and Tuesday.

And look, we've seen this before.

Like it's not some fatal blow for the Blue Jays to now be three games under 500 because they've been there for much of the season to this point.

But it is frustrating and it's going to test their patience and it's going to test their resilience.

Right.

Last year, June, 16-10.

July, 18-8.

August, 15-12.

September, 15-10.

And then we know what happened in October.

So clearly, the best baseball of the season happened late last year.

And for all the comparisons that I think are fair and inevitable when you talk about a team that was as memorable as the 2025 Jays, what was best about that team was the late part of the season.

So we'll see how close the Blue Jays can get this year to...

just replicating some of that.

And they don't have to win the division.

Of course, best case is you win the division, you get a buy, you avoid that chaos of the wildcard series, which in the Blue Jays history, they have not won a wildcard series.

So certainly not a lot of great memories there, but you can do it.

And if you had Cease and Gosman in a wildcard series, like that would be a totally viable path through to the DS and beyond.

So yeah,

Yeah, the point is they got to start winning and they have three starters in rotation and a lot of their key hitters aren't hitting.
