some young pieces and obviously um Bateman has you know I'm not saying he's the next Varshow but he he's come in and he's made an impact so that there was someone to replace Varshow is what I'm saying but moving on from Hoffman they didn't add anything to the bullpen right so like that's the only place where they just like minused from and I know that Jeff Hoffman has some baggage associated with his time with the Blue Jays but putting that aside he was really really good this year at voice-verified

outside of the start of the season where he loses his closer role. voice-verified

But once he kind of reemerged as a setup guy, he was really, really effective. voice-verified

Obviously that's why he was a trade asset. voice-verified

And so the bullpen to me has gone from an area where I thought like it was actually the most stable area for the Blue Jays for most of the season when the starting pitching was shaky, when the offense obviously has not been good all year for the most part. voice-verified

And I thought the bullpen was like the most stable area. voice-verified

And now to me, it is suddenly not so because... voice-verified

Yes, there's still a lot of good pieces, but they've pitched a lot, right? voice-verified

Like Fisher's pitched a lot. voice-verified

Flu Hardy's pitched a lot. voice-verified

Tyler Rogers is kind of built to pitch a lot. voice-verified

But like, again, he has pitched a lot. voice-verified

Varlin as well. voice-verified

So like, they're all very capable still. voice-verified

And you still like like the Blue Jays when they can line it up the way. voice-verified

Yes, you're missing Hoffman. voice-verified

You didn't really replace Hoffman with an arm, but you still have some pieces that can work in there. voice-verified

But I do think like fatigue is an issue. voice-verified

I saw a graph just before I came on where like it's showing like the state of the relievers or whatever, how many pitchers they found. voice-verified

It's like all red. voice-verified
