Looked pretty solid.

357 ERA down the stretch last year.

386 ERA in the playoffs.

And then it's been a slow, slow ramp up here.

Now, you've had Tommy John a couple times.

One of them where, you know, you did the full ramp back up at the major league level.

What do you, acknowledging you're not a doctor and you're not asking Shane Bieber about this, the fact that he came back late last year on a fairly normal Tommy John timeline, but then maybe the intensity was higher than a normal ramp up would be given the World Series run and then a slow ramp up this year.

What do you make of that as someone who's been through that surgery and that comeback path before?

Yeah, that's a great point.

It's a great point about Dempster, too.

Yeah, he was less than a calendar year.

Yeah.

Which is wild.

I guess he came back as a reliever, maybe helped, instead of coming back as a starter and then transitioned back to a starter like a couple years down the line.

Yeah.

It's fascinating.

I guess I was going to say we don't see that a ton as much.

You know, like a lot of times once you're a reliever, you're a reliever now.

Right.

But we have seen it more the last couple years.
