I mean, some of it you can't control.

Some of it is just you have to deal with it, right?

We'll see how it shakes out for Lauer specifically.

I mean, if he stays in the rotation, again, we laid out some of the options.

They don't really have a lot of great choices, I would say.

Before we go back to the phones, let's hear from John Schneider on Eric Lauer.

As you might imagine, after he gives up 600 runs in five innings of work, he was asked about Eric Lauer.

So let's hear what the skipper had to say moments ago.

There you go.

That's John Schneider kind of going over some of the things we talked about when it comes to the Lauer outing.

It's also, it's not easy when your team, especially when Miles and Nance look so good, but it's not easy when your starter gives up four runs the inning he comes in and then six runs overall.

But it also doesn't help to Russ's point when the offense scratches across one run.

It was pretty pitiful for most of the day.

Jays had, I mentioned this off the top, the two hits heading into the eighth inning.

Then they tallied three innings.

That inning alone to knock Soriano out of the ball game after he had been so dominant.

So base is loaded with two outs, and then Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

comes up to the plate.

Sam Bachman gets a slider to get Vladdy to kind of just roll over, and they get the out at third base.

You look at some of Vladdy's numbers on off-speed and breaking stuff, especially breaking balls.
