We're not redlining guys early, being mindful of the big picture.

Look, we've had plenty of years where we have a ton of depth and all of the guys, they get hurt at the same time.

And then sometimes they don't come back.

So it's not like this master plan of like, yeah, we're just going to like

You're going to get hurt at this time and we're going to sync it up and you're going to be perfectly healthy.

That's not the case.

You know, we're in a position where it's like we, you know, back, I've had plenty of conversations with Joe himself, like Joe, like, I know you can push through this right now, but let's be smart.

Let's take a few days.

Let's be mindful knowing that like, what's most important is you're healthy for the stretch run.

And that is,

you know, part of the reason why we look to give guys extra days when possible.

Okay.

And there's some guys that actually don't do well with that.

So it's, it's an individual piece, but it's having depth of pitching.

And if you can have guys available that still have something in the tank come to, you know, September, October, that is the ultimate goal.

Cause that's what we're doing this for.

And the season is set up for you to not do that.

Right.

162 with that, with the tax and the travel,

Everything is saying no to that.
