I would also take the somewhat related point that they're actually fortunate to have the record they have based on how they've played some of these games.

They've had to come back and win some games late.

If one or two of those games against the A's, which were decided late, flips the other direction...

It's a really worrisome start to the year.

So I think I'm a little more worried about the Red Sox.

Roman Anthony having a DH a lot is strange to me, and obviously there have been some defensive questions there, some sloppiness for the Red Sox.

With the Blue Jays,

I believe, and I'm confident that they will get better once the pitching stabilizes and it gets a little bit healthier.

And I listened to, to a lot of Pete's conversation with you in the last hour about lower and, and, and his, his illness, not feeling good Corbin.

And I fully agree.

I think it's an important context.

Patrick Corbin basically signed pitched once and went right to the majors because of a need.

It's not really fair to judge him based on how that one first start went.

I realize this stuff wasn't overwhelming, but I want to give Patrick some time to work back into being the pitcher that he's been in the past.

And I think a series like this with your number one or number two guys going to the first two games gives you a much better depiction of what the team can be.

I think Varland has been good, as you've discussed.

Hoffman has been good as well.

And Vladdy eventually is going to pick it up.

If you were to tell me that Kirk could be on the I.L.,

Springer on the IL, Barger on the IL, Vladdy not really driving in a bunch of runs.
