and for the blue jays they're facing another team coming up that's that's maybe not firing in all cylinders so no matter how you can pick up wins if you can get them that's big yes and if it means the opponent has to the red sox have existed for what 750 years uh that was the worst series they've ever had with runners in scoring position so um that is uh if that's what it takes to get a sweeping start climbing back in the wind column we'll call that kind of

balancing out for all the injury and uh you know puck luck the the jays have had so far here so you mentioned a lot of positives in there they got some really good pitching in the series treya savage yesterday was awesome and very efficient until the eighth inning he gives up back-to-back home runs there the jay's got to kind of rush to get someone up and ready um

Pretty straightforward to you.

I saw some criticism on Twitter, but I think this is a case of like, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Trey Savage was rolling.

He was at 85 pitches.

Your bullpen was woefully thin.

You okay, given how good he looked, letting Savage back out there for the eighth, the third time through against a back part of the order?

Yeah, and here's the thing.

Obviously, the third time through the order penalty is a real thing statistically, but you're trying to weigh there Trey Yusavage's 86th pitch versus, not just versus Tommy Nance's first pitch, but if it goes shaky for, say, Tommy Nance,

Chad Dallas is the only other guy, right?

Like, you're talking about a guy who's made one major league appearance and is fresh up from AAA.

Maybe you could have gone to Fisher or Miles, having thrown 20-plus pitches the day before, but Fisher's been redlining for weeks here, and Miles, I don't even think he's gone back-to-back yet.

So...

you know, you get to Chad Dallas quickly.

So I understand that one.

Obviously a big benefit going into this Cub series that they were able to get through that game only using their two of their bullpen arms, you know, not entirely fresh here because Varlin Rogers and Hoffman all pitched Tuesday, Wednesday.

So presumably if they all pitched today, they would be yellow on Saturday and so forth.

When you look at,
