It does feel ridiculous when you look at the litany, the absolute parade of injuries, even with guys returning relatively soon, right?

If you just put Vladdy aside for a second, he might be fine, but I want to hear from Schneider.

I'm sure someone will ask the question, but...

That's now, if we look at Varshow added to this list, Varshow, Kirk, Springer, Barger, Santander, we can count as well.

I sometimes even forget about Santander, but he's in there too.

Ponce, Bieber, Barrios, Yosavage, Garcia, and then you add in the flu that ravaged the clubhouse as well.

I mean, that is 10 people, all of whom are anywhere from...

kind of important to really important to what we thought the team's success would look like, could look like in 2026.

So yeah, that is one cursed start to the year.

Apart from the, the win loss record, we should get to the player of the game brought to you by capital one, capital one, giving credit to over 4 million Canadians and counting before we go any further.

I generally speaking, I think we can give this to any player on either team.

It's not only limited to,

to the blue Jays.

I do think if I were to give it to a, a diamond back, it probably would be one of Nolan, Aaron auto, or maybe even her all the perdomo just based on some of the things they did both defensively and offensively.

I mean that, that double play from her all though perdomo was bonkers.

right?

I mean, that guy on essentially what was an improvised play on one foot, grab that ball and stepped on the bag at second and rifled that thing to first base in an inning that could have easily turned in the favor of the Blue Jays when it was so close at that point.

If I had to give it to a Blue Jay,

I mean, it sounds kind of bizarre to say this.

I totally get it, but I might give it to Eric Lauer if I had to pick a Blue Jay.
