But the stuff is playing.

And so the Blue Jays are going to write it out for the time being.

pretty steadily, right?

And you don't see panic.

You see some urgency at times, and you see him trying things.

But I think there's a recognition of the circumstances around it and what's driving it, but not letting that be an excuse in terms of not trying things and not being... or avoiding shaking up lineups or changing certain roles and experimenting a little bit.

So it's been...

obviously for a lot of reasons, a completely unexpected start.

I mean, who would really have predicted that the blue Jays would have torn through all that surplus starting pitching that we were talking about all off season, even before you got into the, in the regular season and that, you know, on game three, Cody pawns injury is forcing them into the free agent market for reinforcements.

Right.

the there's been a lot of improvising in a lot of ways.

And, you know, the blue Jays have certainly left some games on the table, but I think that you're seeing John Schneider try to be as steady as he can be under the circumstances while trying to push at the same time.

And that's a delicate balance where, you know, you're showing confidence to your group, but you're also setting expectations simultaneously.

For the time being, right?

Right now, the Blue Jays want to have George, Vladdy, and Varshow hitting as often as possible, especially against a right-handed pitcher with that configuration and Okamoto as well.

And they're seeing a lineup constructed that way.

Now, what does it look like when Kirk gets back, when Lucas is back, when you have Addison Barger in the mix too?

You can start going left, right, left and start thinking about configurations for late game bullpens.

You know, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

ultimately does prefer being in the three hole as opposed to two.
