And I could see why in free agency, Dylan sees would look at the blue Jays as a team that plays premium defense or puts a premium on defense.

And it's like, you know what?

That might actually be really helpful to my numbers and my ability to win baseball games and give my team a chance to win.

So I'm going to go to that place.

And I think you're seeing that right now.

A great defense behind a pitcher with this kind of stuff is going to equate to really, really good numbers.

And that's what you're getting from Dylan Cease right now.

His season whip is 133 and his ERA is 305.

So he's been really, really good.

Yeah, and you got your 789 who did not pitch today at all.

The thing that got me the most excited about hearing C's talk there is, like, if that's a gritty performance where he doesn't have his best stuff and feels like he's battling his command, then...

this guy's he's got Cy Young potential yeah like really he does like because he was at times dominant today in a start where he didn't feel a hundred percent which tells me so much about his ability that he can navigate through that and still go seven innings I mean what what a signing by this team and and I it caught me by surprise a little bit because I don't think necessarily yeah when he signed I didn't think that that was necessarily the focus going into the offseason um

I thought someone like Okamoto was more of importance because Bo was probably going to leave and did eventually leave.

But when they signed him, I was like, well, I guess you can never have too much pitching.

He's even better than I thought he was going to be.

And we'll see how it holds up the rest of the season.

But to hear him talk like that and put up what he put up today on a day he didn't have his best is very encouraging.

I think any time Trey Savage goes to the Hill, the expectations are high.

Maybe unfairly because what blew me away is just hearing the number thrown around.

That was his fourth career regular season start.
