It's tough because they really did need the pitching machine to start spitting guys out this year, and it feels like by and large it's, it's kind of slowed down a little bit.
And maybe that's, you know better if that's temporary or not, but I do, I have heard from some people who are, you know, in the organization who are like, "D- what are we looking at here?
Are we looking at a problem, or are we looking at a year where just everything's going wrong?"
You know?
Yeah.
I, I think it's very fair to, to wonder that, right?
But with, with Jonah, he is brilliant.
Yeah.
He really gets this.
Yeah.
As you said, he's an incredible competitor.
If there was one thing I would say about him, I would say at times he's an over-tinkerer.
Yes.
I think he's always, he's always trying something, and I think he could stand to even out a little bit.
The cutter at times has looked good watching him- Mm-hmm Triple-A this year, and at times it looks terrible.
And I think it's probably one of those things where the days it doesn't look good, he feels he needs to change something about it instead of just- Yeah getting, being like, "Eh, it was a bad day.
It's going to happen."
So I, I still think there are better days ahead for Jonah Tang.
I'm by no means giving up on him
