But he had his best fastball of the year in his last outing.
And I'm with you, Kevin, like if they have a safe situation tonight, I think it's going to Barlin, but if Barlin throws 26 pitches to get the save and, you know, maybe they throw Hoffman in there tomorrow, or maybe, maybe they do use Hoffman against the top and Rogers against the bottom.

He's a very positive guy.
He supports his players.
