So they didn't even have those rallies.
voice-verified
They got snuffed out almost before the tension could build in a lot of cases.
voice-verified
And so it just rarely felt like the Blue Jays were in this game.
voice-verified
The Royals had that big home run in the first, and then the Blue Jays never mounted an attack that felt like it was going to be the counterpunch.
voice-verified
When Araghetti was acquired, I don't think anyone thought, okay, this is the fourth starter for this team going forward.
voice-verified
And I know that there are moments of the season at the Astros where he had some success, but a big reason why he joined the team and why they thought he was appealing is because he was someone who had major league experience, a decent amount of it, like 50 plus starts.
voice-verified
And he was also had options.
voice-verified
So he could be that flexible sixth starter, seventh starter that comes up.
voice-verified
Down as needed.
voice-verified
Like that's sort of the vision for what he is.
voice-verified
But when you have, you know, this is a list of pitchers everybody knows who are on the I.O.
voice-verified
Barrillos, Bieber, Bloss, Boun Francis, Cody Pons, Jameis and Tyne, Trey Savage, like that's more than a full rotation's worth of conceivably viable starters that aren't available to you.
voice-verified
This is what happens.
voice-verified
Now, because they have these off days coming up, you can sort of have a four-man rotation.
voice-verified
And then one of those men becomes
voice-verified
Araghetti plus bullpen, but after this it'll be interesting to see where they stand with that.
voice-verified
They might feel like they're better just going straight bullpen than having him featured in this bulk like role or even just getting today's game, which was more like a traditional start in the end.
voice-verified
I think partly because it became uncompetitive and so they just left him in longer than they
voice-verified
would have done otherwise if it was close.
voice-verified
No, and I guess that helps him build up, which is beneficial, but at the end of the day, I don't think the Blue Jays really want a hundred pitchers out pitches out of Spencer Araghetti.
