And then, you know, this โ
So far, they've gotten off to a slow start with some of their pitchers as well this year.
And so if you look at this team, it's underperformed.
Having said all that, lately they've been playing really well.
They just swept the Rays, who you've seen too.
They're really, really good.
They won two of three against the Yankees.
They're starting to trend up, and it looks like things are starting to come together for them, kind of like it is for Toronto with the Jays right now, the way they've been playing lately too.
It is staggering.
And if you look at, like, if you took their ERA for the entire month of May, it's 29th in the sport, starting pitching and bullpen.
It's like 29th, and I think the Rockies might be the worst at 30th.
You know, so they've really, you know, when they played their home games, it's been exceptional, and it's been exceptionally bad on the road.
I do think there's a chance that that happens.
You know, Visayo can play a little bit of first base, so can Rutschman.
Obviously, Alonzo, they just signed to a five-year deal, and he's been playing mostly first base.
But I know when he was negotiating his deal with the Mets, a lot of their conversation was about playing, you know, being the DH.
So I think there is a rotation there where you could, you know, DH โ
And, you know, of course, when you're catching, you always can use a day off there.
So, you know, I've talked to their manager, Craig Alvarez.
He comes on my radio show every other week.
