OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[LeafOfFaith]

If there was more fat around the area, this wouldn't have happened.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Exactly , best pitching depth in MLB

If Ryu and Kuch are your 4-5 guys , your in good shape

Except in the playoffs 4/5 SP are useless almost, but they are very valuable in getting there.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

9 out of 15 outs on strikeouts.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

12 out of 18 for them.

Best start of this guy’s career. Poor Gausman. He’s hanging on though.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I say poor Gausman after pretty much every start, win or lose. The guy has had to gut out every single victory this year.

Green looked good. Would be great over the last couple weeks to see him look like the old Green again, which along with Romano Mayza Swanson Hicks would give us a nice fivesome of high leverage type relievers, and which would hopefully relegate all of Garcia, Richards, Cabrera strictly to low leverage.

Gausman has the 3rd lowest run support in the AL behind Greinke (KC) and JP Sears (Oak), who play for the two worst teams in baseball.

It’s the best Jays bullpen I can remember.

They just have to get into the playoffs and then deploy it correctly

just get him enough options that it's impossible to deploy incorrectly.

Late inning walkathon to benefit the Blue Jays' favorite charity.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Pretty funny.

13 out of 21 struck out by King with no walks.

Bullpen comes on and walks 5 of the first 7 guys.

[CTheBigPicture]

Both teams will leave this game thinking "when are them bots coming?".

Strike zone was ridiculous before the pen came in and issued all those walks.

 

[manny]

Romano is awesome.

Remember when the Jays lost him in the rule 5 draft and the Rangers could have kept him, but he couldn’t make their terrible bullpen?

That was a stroke of luck but also fuck Texas.

7.5 gms back of TB.

winning our game in hand, and sweeping all 6 games against TB, would get us within 1 game.

Well if they catch Tampa, their first round opponent would probably be… Tampa

A terrified Tampa, mind you…

 

[LeafOfFaith]

The 95 win mark is within sight.

 

[MindzEye]

The 95 win mark is within sight.

They're on pace for 91 wins (barely, 90.6 wins)

I'm impressed with this bounce back after what easily could have been a season ending bag of shit against Texas, but so far this is just what they've done all year. Get hot and look for real, then get cold and look on the verge of falling out of it, then hot again...so on ans so forth, but the whole fucking time wobble between a 87-90 win mediocre as fuck pace.

Hopefully they finish strong.
