And when we come back we'll be ready to rumble.

So I think it's been a success that uh August third

trade deadline and and I'm not sure whether other than the money that they rake in when they go to the postseason that they want to be crushed in the first round by anybody or whether they if they got to uh seventeen and thirteen and finished at five hundred, whether they could consider that a success.

Well, I I agree.

I think that we've we've both agreed that the uh bullpen is going to be Achilles heel down the stretch.

I mean, because they've been overworked, they got four guys with uh fifty nine plus appearances and they got s uh Spencer Miles who's never pitched more than fourteen in the third pro innings.

He's he's reached eighty now.

Yeah.

And

Managing the Niagara Ironbacks in the collegiate league this summer, I realized that you can lay out the best plan for your pitching staff for any given game and as soon as the weakest link

comes apart on that chain, then you're in trouble.

And I I see that with John Schneider all the time.

He's he knows that his staff is overworked, his relievers are overworked, but what can he do about it?

I had a guy in a a game that we needed to r reach the playoffs

His car broke down in North Tanawanda, New York and he didn't get to the start.

So uh you know, these are behind the scenes problems, I'm sure John doesn't have that problem.

But uh but y there are so many issues in terms of pitching and trying to get it to work, trying to get through one hundred and sixty two games and knowing that there's thirty more to come.

And and to me the thirty against teams under five hundred doesn't mean a thing because they're all competitive with the Blue Jays for that spot.

There's eighty one more games intramural among those seven teams.

So there's gonna be winners every night that there's losers.
