You know, it was interesting hearing John Schneider talk about the decision to bring him up after his rehab start.

And, you know, John said we kind of relied on him.

He felt good with the slider.

The result was last time a triple-A wasn't that great.

But, I mean, that's the position the Blue Jays are in right now.

They have to get a read in where they are with Bieber and Scherzer and, to a certain degree, Patrick Corbin.

They've got to get a read in where they are with these guys going into the trade deadline.

They just have to.

And I think we heard Ross Atkins say today, and rightly so, that their focus is going to be on starting pitching, optionable, controllable starting pitching, essentially trying to get another Louis Varland, although I would presume one who would be more likely to start than Relief.

And that's the way it should be because they're not going to have Scherzer next year.

They're probably not going to have Bieber next year.

Kevin Gossman may not be coming back.

So, yeah.

No burritos.

And, you know, I mean, Jake Bloss is a name.

Who the hell knows what Jake Bloss is going to give you or when he's going to give it to you eventually.

So, yeah, I think the Blue Jays are absolutely right to be focusing on getting getting another arm in here.

That can be, you know, that can be part of their major league rotation this year and next year going forward.

Yeah, and look, I mean, there are some good things out of this game.

Obviously, you mentioned Varsha looking really good, but the Jays lost.
