Because it's him, Gunnar Henderson, and Vlad, we're all like right at 100 OPS plus at the same time.

Yeah.

And then like...

I mean, you got Varlin last year, but anticipating him being a key piece of the bullpen.

And then Cease is like, it's frustrating with the pitch economy stuff, but that's obviously a good free agent signing as far as starting pitching goes.

yeah it's uh part of it is that like other guys aren't carrying their weight so it feels oversized when cease is getting well that's the thing if gosman and you savage were going seven innings each and then cease had a an electric five inning start like what was it was boston i think he put up five zeros but had like two men on base every single inning that's it it's like if that is sandwiched between seven inning outings but it's not gosman is also struggling you savage is also struggling and then you've got patrick corbin in a rotation spot and max schurz are getting cortisone shots in his back and

What I'm most concerned with is the starting pitch.

Yeah, same.

And, like, I think it was really telling that when Atkins did his media availability yesterday, he was, like, pretty... He was as open as he will be that starting pitching is what they're going to be looking at.

Yeah.

And when you have, like...

In theory, if you have Savage, Gosman, and Cease, and you have, he said this as, you know, Bieber's made one start back, and you have Corbin and Scherzer and Bloss is ramping back up.

I think the Corbin thing should just be done.

I think he's going to start Wednesday, and then that could be it whenever someone's ready.

I would do opener miles, and that should be the fifth starter.

Yeah, but, I mean, it's only going to exacerbate the bullpen overuse issues, right, if you do that?

You get one extra bullpen arm, but then you're going to have to use those guys even more.

You're hitting a pocket where you have a couple extra off days sprinkled in, too, and the all-star breaks around the corner, so now would be the time to do it.

Would you call up Jake Bloss?
