I think when he has struggled, you know, you just lose command of the zone and you're given extra base runners via walk.

But that's, that's kind of it.

And I think that, you know, that comes and goes.

You know, he's had such a weird year in terms of strikeout percentage.

And then when a ball gets put in play, with the exception of last night, it seems like when the ball's put in play, it's for a hit.

So that, to me, it's just executing.

And then it's not giving away free base runs.

And then I think that's where the slider and the split come into play.

But if you're working behind, you know, it kind of pigeonholes him into, you know, two pitches or one pitches as opposed to three.

So really uncharacteristic for him, I think kind of just, you know, losing the zone and, and the walks that he had in his last outing.

And I think that our hitting coaches do a good job of not trying to,
