Right.

But I guess, in a sense, you're being forced to pick between a handful of unsustainable options, right?

And so it feels like whatever the Blue Jays are doing right now, it'll have to be sort of temporary.

And look, you're anticipating that

Trey Savage, it's been, and you know, full credit to him.

He's had a really strange buildup to this.

He hasn't had a lot of, a lot of innings.

He hasn't had a sort of a normal base built up during spring training and already he's recovering from the shoulder issue.

and a massive spike in workload from a year ago.

So, you know, kudos to him for, for how he's performing under these circumstances, but until he's giving you a hundred pitches regularly, which is something that, you know, he didn't do last year either, uh, outside of the post season, just came in and had all these great outings.

Uh,

This isn't a normal setup and that is to some degree what starting pitching is in this era of baseball where you just make up some stuff and figure out how to cover innings and you move pieces around and that's okay.

But the Blue Jays are also a team that was built around

to have a lot of stability on a foundation of core innings out of your starters.

And that's played, obviously, from one half of the rotation, but not from the entirety of the rotation thus far.

And so that's been a challenge.

Now, the Blue Jays aren't...

where they are right now because of their starters.

It's because they haven't gotten consistent enough offense to relieve some of the pressure on them in the bullpen.

But I think what you worry about in the latter half of the season is how much does the strain on the pitching staff right now potentially catch up down the road
