Doing great, my friend.
Awesome to be with you.
And how about those Jays?
10 of 14 for Toronto.
Looking forward to getting a front row seat for it on Sunday afternoon.
Yeah, I'll tell you what, with all the pitching injuries that this team has gone through, what sticks out to me is the job that Valenzuela's done behind the plate as well.
Just in preparation, it's pretty clear that he's given them something
that they didn't necessarily expect with the, with the Alejandro Kirk situation and, and just how he's been able to capitalize.
But when I look at this ball club, you know, if you said at the start of the season, oh man, you're going to have burials stealing with things and Shane Bieber, you know, still on the comeback.
And now Max Scherzer rehabbing in the Dylan C situation now to monitor, not to mention Cody Pons.
I mean, you would have said,
This is going to be the cards are stacked against them, and they have been.
But what I think about this ball club is they've got a resilience factor, and that starts with John Schneider and everything that he preaches.
And I think it just goes back to they find ways to win.
Like, look at last night.
That throw down to first to get Alonzo picked off, that's the play of the game.
And that's a team that won an American League championship last year doing things that create winning.
Has it been pretty?
Has it been a glamour contest for the Jays over the last couple of weeks?
Not necessarily.
