00:00The Toronto Blue Jays, I have, I guess, one question,

00:04and it's their shortstop, who is leading Major League Baseball in base hits.

00:08Bo Bichette has been on the shelf since September 9th with a knee sprain.

00:11He was asked while the Blue Jays were celebrating clinching a postseason spot

00:15how he's feeling.

00:16He said, quote, getting better every day.

00:19I was like, okay, vague, but I wonder how Bichette feels,

00:24and I would love to see Bo Bichette appear for the Toronto Blue Jays in the DS.

00:28Yeah, that's the number one question.

00:30I think there's no doubt in that.

00:32And then, for me, it's how do you plan to use Trey Savage?

00:36I'm just interested in that because this bullpen,

00:38I could just beat a dead horse and say, well, who's going to close these games out?

00:42I think you have to fall on the Hoffman sword.

00:45Like, that's just it is what it is.

00:47Whether it's the ninth or the eighth,

00:48maybe you feel better about the pocket for Sir Anthony Dominguez.

00:52I wouldn't.

00:52He walks five per nine as well.

00:54I think you've got to fall on the Jeff Hoffman sword.

00:56So, I think it's just where is Yosavage working in long relief?

01:01Does he end up maybe getting a start in some way or another?

01:03Do they trust him a little bit more in shorter spurt leverage?

01:06Like, I'm just fascinated to see what their plan is with Trey Yosavage,

01:09where it's going to make like one more start,

01:12and then they've got to figure out, you know,

01:13what they think is the best use of him.

01:16It seems like they're comfortable using him in two three-inning relief spurts,

01:20which makes a lot of sense.

01:22The other one that I have a question about is Jose Barrios in the bullpen now.

01:25Barrios pivots to the pen.

01:27John Schneider spoke very highly of how Barrios took that.

01:30That's a pro on a $170 million contract extension.

01:35And Jose Barrios...

01:35Who hasn't even thrown that bad this year, right?

01:37Like, it's a 4-0-6 ERA.

01:39You know what it is?

01:40He's toughing it out right now.

01:43His stuff is not awesome,

01:44but he is still thrown to an okay season for his standards

01:48and, like, a good season by most standards.

01:50But I am interested to see if Barrios can tick up a little bit in the bullpen,

01:55and then how do you use Yosavage?

01:56Yeah.
