And, you know, obviously last year was challenging and not what he set out to do.
But sometimes those are the times that also create clarity and what you can improve on.
And I think he came out of that with a good sense of what a better version of himself can look like.
And I think
know he's just still well on his way of finding out what that means and obviously his role is going to kind of bounce around between different things but um i thought he's looked really strong so far i think the depth of pitches makes me think there's a starting stint in his future this year sometime now yeah and i think for young players you should have that like kind of highest version of yourself on your mind but then also be able to do the the task that's in front of you and that's a
I think it can be empowering to have a task that's a little, I don't want to say simpler, because I think really being in pitch, being ready every day is really, really challenging.
But, you know, just getting maybe going once through the lineup or whatever it is, establishing that mix that he has because it's new.
And then maybe one day that turns into starting.
What's he like to face Travis?
Yeah, unique with the arm action, kind of like the kind of lull you to sleep and then whips it in there.
The curveball is big and slow and has really good feel for that pitch.
He's always been effective with that.
So, yeah, he's been a kind of underrated pitcher of our generation, been good for so long and in an era when pitchers are rarely healthy year after year after year.
It's been impressive with what he's done.
Yeah, it's a beautiful night in Philly.
It feels like summer.
It's crazy, so it should be a good one.
That's a good point, Lawrence.
Oh, that was electric.
Man, that was good.
