You still don't have an Addison Barger.
You've dealt with injuries.
you know, to George Springer and to others, Nathan Lucas finally back in the lineup and looking pretty good, et cetera.
But I think the issue more often than not has been the offense and the bats and the consistency or the lack of run production and the lack of power and whatnot.
So to me, even if the Blue Jays can kind of do what they did on the weekends against Baltimore or even throughout this road trip, if you can kind of get by with the patchwork you've been doing with the starters and even the bullpen, I think you're in a decent position
is can you produce runs because you're going to have to produce runs against this potent Atlanta lineup you're not going to be able to in my opinion scuffle out a 2-1 or a 3-2 game I think you're going to have to produce runs and really
real dangerous and real sideways in a hurry down in Georgia.
I'll give you my head and I'll give you my heart.
My, my head says that what the Spurs are doing as an extremely young team and obviously when these first post-season just makes absolutely no sense in the youth of that core overall.
So my head says that the Knicks with some of the more veteran experience that they should witness.
But my heart is saying, I would love to see when we do it.
Cause I'll tell you, Blake,
I love the passion that Wemba Yama plays with.
I even go back to not just a couple of nights ago in game seven and the tears and the emotion of winning the West and beating OKC in their building.
I go back even to All-Star weekend and the emotion that he showed.
and I believe even the tears that he was showing at All-Star weekend, wanting to win in that All-Star game mini tournament format.
This is what I want from my pro athletes.
I think in this era, and I don't want to try and wax too poetic here, but in this era of $50 million contracts per season and $500 million deals overall, and I'm talking all sports, baseball, basketball, football, hockey, et cetera, all the money that's out there, I feel like sometimes...
We see our athletes becoming a little more robotic or it becomes about the dollars and cents and not necessarily the love of the game that you had as a kid.
And I think that Wemba Nyama, maybe I'm going to be tainted and jaded by him in a couple of years.
