And you know, obviously it's taken him some time, uh, longer than I think most of us expected, considering that you know we first found out he wasn't feeling well right at the end of the season in in the after the World Series last year. voice-verified

Uh but you know, he's it's y you know, for him it's not about velocity. voice-verified

It's about being able to locate, right? voice-verified

There's there's control and then there's command. voice-verified

Now there was a game earlier this year, he didn't have any control at all. voice-verified

Usually he has pretty good control, but he can still get in trouble without locating where he wants. voice-verified

And and what we find now is he is throwing strikes and he's throwing them in the strike zone where he wants to throw them. voice-verified

Or he's starting pitches in the strike zone and then breaking them out of the zone, getting hitters to chase. voice-verified

It looks like vintage uh Shane Beaver right now. voice-verified

Yeah, I I do. voice-verified

I think there will be, but I also think that they'll look at it and say, Listen, based upon what we knew at the time voice-verified

uh we we just couldn't pull the trigger on it and we had to go in a different direction. voice-verified

Remember there were a lot of starting pitchers available uh at the trade deadline. voice-verified

More than you would have thought considering it felt like it was a bit of a a seller's market. voice-verified

Uh and and yet there were quite a few starters that teams could go out and get. voice-verified

And that might have been more predictable. voice-verified

Now, you know, there's upside with him and and certainly we're starting to see that right now. voice-verified

But I also can understand that if it were me, I'd be like, Okay, well, at the time all we knew was what we knew and it didn't look great. voice-verified

And so and sometimes, you know, from the Jay's perspective, sometimes the best trades you make are the ones that you don't make. voice-verified

Uh and it feels like that in the case of Shane Bieber. voice-verified
