And, you know, the doctor comes in.

He's not around all day.

So it is the staff.

You know, it's it's one that you have to avoid letting emotions get in the way of it because everybody players want to play, you know, and trainers want them to be healthy on the field.

And some of these things are unavoidable.

But, you know, it's it's one that that you get a little snippy with just about everybody, certainly the training staff part of it.

But in the long run, I'm like, you know what, just get healthy enough out there and you feel good enough.

Go play.

We need you out there.

Yeah, so, you know, he, at his best, is a guy that will give you a chance to win a game.

He's not a shutdown pitcher.

I don't expect him to put zeros across the board.

You know, he hasn't – I mean, he went from –

in no time, you know, thinking about where he was throwing bullpen sessions, gets signed, makes a minor league start, and boom, here he is.

You know, he's up here in the major leagues.

And so, you know, I don't feel like he's overly prepared for this.

And so if he can give you a chance to stay close, give up three runs and five innings, and I think that's the best you can hope for.

And, you know, I think you can't expect, hey, go give me six shutout innings and, you know, go out and dominate right now.

And so it's not really the way you want to start a series.

but it's the best they have right now.
