But you're gonna go through a season and that will happen.
voice-verified
It's not never gonna happen.

I'll say like the booties are not a good base running team.
voice-verified
Like you can look at basically any number there
voice-verified
Whether it's stolen bases, the team is faster now than it used to be, with the inclusion of Bateman, with Miles Straw getting more run in the lineup.
voice-verified
Like it it feels a little bit faster, but it's still not a good base stealing team.
voice-verified
And it's a team that goes station to station a lot.
voice-verified
There's plenty of hitters in this lineup who don't have above average speed.
voice-verified
You know, Josh Smith today scoring from first on a double.
voice-verified
We didn't see a ton of that with the team, but he's someone a new addition who brings
voice-verified
speed, there's some optimism that this team
voice-verified
partly due to some of the personnel changes, um, and partly due to the offense just performing better recently, can create some opportunity on the bases, but
voice-verified
They have been a below average base running team all season long and that is a problem when you're a team that doesn't hit for a ton of power because you're relying on putting the ball in play and having guys run home.
voice-verified
And when the guys are slow and they make too many outs and they make too many mistakes, you're undercutting an offense that already has a pretty low margin for error.
voice-verified
So I understand when people see this like it's pretty disheartening to see the Blue Jays squander outs on the bases because they are not the type of team that can afford to waste outs.
voice-verified
When you think bigger picture, the chances of the twenty twenty six Toronto Blue Jay season going down as a success is vanishingly slim, right?
voice-verified
They need to make the playoffs.
voice-verified
They're slight underdogs to do that, it's very much in play for them.
voice-verified
But they need to make the playoffs and then they'd enter the playoffs as one of the biggest underdogs in a pack, even in a m a pretty uninspiring American league.
voice-verified
And this is coming off a season where they came as close to winning the World Series as you possibly could.
