They've been pretty careful about ticking up that pitch count each subsequent start where, like, I think he threw 63 last night, which is great.
As your bulk guy in a bullpen day, that's awesome.
But you did see by the end, Ryan McMahon's strikeout aside, the velocity had dipped a little bit.
So I think they're probably in a situation now where it's start to start.
And like every, I think they'll probably still call it a bullpen day and still use an opener most of the time.
But you get 63 out of them this time.
See how he responds.
Maybe you push it to 75 next time.
See how he responds.
But yeah, what a story this has been.
Yeah, I mean, basically, if you're a Rule 5 pick, staying on the roster is a success.
Like, we've seen guys... Jordan Romano was one.
He got plucked away from the Jays in the Rule 5 draft and then didn't cut it and went back.
The track record of very successful Rule 5...
Guys who get Rule 5 picked and end up starters immediately, there are very, very few.
Johan Santana, obviously the best case.
But even he worked in this Spencer Miles role his first year as a Rule 5 guy and had a 650 ERA.
He started a couple games, long man a couple games.
Obviously, eventually, he became a Cy Young winner.
I'm not going to put that on Spencer Miles.
