GDT: Jays (19-18) @ Rangers (20-16) - 8:05pm EST ... Game 2/3

[saskjayfan]

Last year on May 20 the team was 18 and 24 and had lost a lot of close games it shouldn't have. This year we've lost a lot of winnable games and we're .500.

 

It's this point of the season that positive thinkers say there's nothing to worry about. Negative nellies will tell you the sky is falling in. Posititve thinkers are dreamers drinking the biggest glass of blue raspberry Koolaid they can find. Negative nellies like to call themselves realists, but they are just predisposed to pessimism. The truth lies somewhere in between.

 

I'm a dreamer, so I think Troy notsotuloshitski will continue to turn it around. Martin won't be ice cold forever. Travis will return at some point and we still have a lot of games to make a run!

theres some people dealing only in absolutes here...and baseball is a long season making the only absolute no absolutes.

 

one thing I know, since the calendar turned to may, Toronto is playing .615 baseball, and the losses have for the most part been tight games...this is trending positive.

I guess bullpens are supposed to have 0.00 ERAs.

Betances Miller and Chapman struck out 8 of 10 batters faced last night to preserve a 1 run lead. Thats a pen. Swing and miss.

That's a rare BP to compare any team to...

This is true. Yankees bullpen is first in WAR according to fangraphs and it's not even close (Jays are 11th), although it is interesting to note that the Giants and Dodgers are ahead of the Yankees in FIP (that one's for you NJH) and ERA (f*** you NJH). As for K/9 the Jays rank 19th and in LOB% 13th.

The Blue Jays will need to get hot soon. The Orioles are hot and might run away with the division.

 

Encarnacion will have to stop being selfish and start playing like winning matters.

 

I guarantee you the Orioles will not run away with the division

It's funny because Dodgers and Giants fans regularly rage about their crappy relief pitchers.

Which begs the Question.....

 

But where do broken hearts go? Lol

[bones10]

Should of been osuna in the 9th right? Not that it mattered in the instance

Not necessarily. Floyd has length which is good for an extra inning situation and Osuna could have still closed it since it was on the road.
