Yeah, I mean, by the same token, there's there's not that much downside risk in the sense of like wins and losses don't matter.

So, like, if you have buy-in from the individuals themselves and they're going to be throwing on those days anyways, why not let them do it in a competitive environment?
voice-verified
Obviously, it's not a controlled scenario.
voice-verified
So, you know, there's there's a little bit more that you're contending with in terms of external factors, but like if they're gonna be throwing anyways and they wanna get
voice-verified
Into the game?
voice-verified
Why not?
voice-verified
If you were in a rotisserie league and you were like in contention for a title and like you're jockeying for the lead for the lead and saves and the guy you're jockeying with has Sandy Alcantra and he just like vultures you the save that gets you the 12 or the 14 in that category, you're you're breaking your controller.
voice-verified
Like that's that turns you into the Joker right there.
voice-verified
Yeah, uh incredibly disappointing and also I think just consistent with how they've performed all year, because at no point have they looked like they are meaningfully better than the other teams that are currently jockeying for the the final playoff spots in the American League.
voice-verified
And it's yeah, i I mean, it was right there for them.
voice-verified
I mean, it's been right there for them all year, and they just couldn't seize the opportunity.
voice-verified
They woke up on the morning of September sixth in that third wildcard spot after a fourth straight win.
voice-verified
That got them over 500.
voice-verified
And since then, they've gone 5-9 with series losses to the A's, to the Tigers, to the Rangers.
voice-verified
They dropped the game to the Royals.
voice-verified
They lost the series opener to the Orioles in excruciating fashion.
voice-verified
Their season's been on the line, their destiny's been in their hands critically, and they just haven't stepped up.
voice-verified
And sure, the injuries have been a big part of that, but over this span, since September 6th, they've averaged 3.78 runs per game.
voice-verified
They've hit 238.
voice-verified
With runners in scoring position, which is 14 percentage points lower than their context neutral batting average.
