If I'm not closing ballgames, relieving a little bit of that anxiety like I talked about before.
I get to start the first inning, maybe throw two.
I'm done for the day.
I don't have to sit down there for five innings and worry about what's going on.
Um, I, so I was, I was unsure, but then I, you know, it grew on me.
Uh, I think I, I probably begged teams for three straight years to, to start a game and be the opener until the Jays finally gave it to me, uh, one time.
But, you know, you look at that stat base, whatever, analytically, like you said, you can put those pieces together.
This is what we're going to do.
This is what's going to happen.
This is how this is going to work if all things go well.
And if they don't, what now?
What are we going to do?
Fortunately, I mean, for the Jays yesterday, it worked out great.
The early part did.
Yeah, the early part of the opener.
The actual opener portion of it.
