Do you think it matters at this point?

I mean, where are you at on that for Vladdy?

Mahendra from Brampton on the text line.

We can go back to the Varshow Grand Slam as a turning point, but today's game feels different.

The Blue Jays finally got a big performance from Vladdy when they needed it most.

To me, this game could be the start of a turnaround.

If your stars are producing, the team is finding ways to win close games.

Maybe we're finally seeing this club build some momentum.

Let's see if they can carry it forward.

I will say it's a huge, like you and Barker talk about this a lot, Jeff, the idea that, you know, it's good to make sure you can ensure that you win starts when the starter on the mound is a Kevin Gosman or Dylan Cease or what have you.

But it is huge for them to win an Austin Voth start day in which you go down 5-0 in the first like four innings of this ballgame, essentially.

Trevor Rogers had entered this game with an ERA just below seven.

And if you look at the month of May alone, he had an ERA that began with a 12.

Yeah.

He allowed 17 earned runs and just over 12 innings pitched in the month of May alone.

Like his best outing this month was a four run four and two third start.

Uh, just about a couple of days ago, essentially.

And the Jays had, um,

kind of had nothing going on.

Now, I do think early in the game, there was a lot of hard contact being allowed off of Trevor Rogers that were just finding gloves.
