And following up on the Stefan Gilmore situation and the Patriots news from this week. So we'll get right back to it here as promised. Clem is in Chumsford. Go ahead, Clem. Hey, guys, what's up? Listen, I hate the fact that Chris Sale is not pitching this game. You know, he's only pitched 12 in the last two weeks. You know, I mean, make a statement. You know, you can't ease into a short series. Be bold. Well, it's only three days of rest. Yeah, but he's only thrown 65 pitches. How was he these last two starts? Yeah, he's also coming off at Tommy John. Look, I mean, listen, I know the days of Bob Gibson are over, but he's not made a marshmallow fluff. You know, either he can throw or he can't.

He's not going to pitch more in five innings anyway, Matt. Well, that's a fair point. I get his point, but it's just not going to happen. Well, he can pitch games two and five, right? Yes, correct. No, he can't. Because there's no days off? Correct. It'll be three off. No, he won't have enough time.

So, you know, to me it's going to have to be Rodriguez.

But honestly, first of all, short rest, Tommy John, they're still factoring that in. Secondly, people need to get this part of it through their thick heads. He's not that good right now. He's not that good. Did you wash him Sunday in Washington? You did. What did you see? I haven't seen life on his pitches really for the majority of the last two or three weeks. I just don't see it. Now, Cora talks about the change-up. It's the last thing to come. I don't think his fastball on his slider all that great either. I mean, they're okay. I'm not telling he sucks, but he does not have the same sharpness that he would normally have. And I think that sort of goes part and parcel with the Tommy John. Most guys aren't the same until two years out. So he's only about 18 months out. So he's on a mound. I don't think he's like going to fall apart, but the stuff's not going to

be the same. So I'm not all the, I told you, I'd rather have a Valdi going in the playing

game. He's the better guy right now. And I don't question, I don't question Chris Hales' toughness

or anything like that. My question is body type

and Tommy John and age and that thing. Prior start against Baltimore wasn't great either. I just the whole like, well, three days rest, but he didn't throw that many pit. That like that argument went out years ago. Right. Years and years and years ago. Look, again, I wish they did it that way too. They don't. And they haven't for a a long long time the guys who whose toughness I definitely question is on the roster for this series and Jady Martinez

correct your thoughts there so you know to me it just tells me that they think he can play

sometime during the series I haven't seen a lineup yet I don't know Murray if you've seen the
