And obviously, um,

lost a heartbreaker, and they're playing really well right now.

The White Sox have played well for a while, so that was a tough emotional series, and then obviously we haven't played well, and the Brewers have played great the last two days.

So it's been a struggle the last 10 days, and I just think that's the nature of a baseball season.

We kind of muddled through the first five series of the year, didn't play great, and then

We won 20 out of 23, and then obviously we struggled for 10 days.

So we sort of had almost, I feel like, three different segments of the season, and I think the totality of things, we're in a good position, but obviously we're not playing well right now, and we need to turn it around, which there's no reason to think we won't.

Yeah, no, we've had some injuries, and I think that we've had to, as you said, piece it together.

I think, you know, given that, we've done a pretty good job of that.

And I think in a lot of ways, like Boyd injury, you know, the small silver lining of that is, you know, we had to put Brown in the bullpen early in the year because of our relief injuries and injuries

That was not our intention going in.

The fact that Boyd got hurt has pushed us to stretch Ben out.

I think that's going to benefit us over the course of the season.

I thought he looked excellent in those three outings and hopefully he can continue to do that.

When you have injuries, you have to

look at the upside and try to make the most of those opportunities.

I think Ben may be one where pushing us to stretch him out and not have him in the bullpen because of the injury I think may benefit us for the rest of the summer.

Yeah, you know, Matt's going to throw sort of an up-down bullpen Friday or Saturday, and he's progressing well.

I mean, it was a pretty simple procedure.

He just, you know, his knee locked up.
