Anyone else feel like this year has been more frustrating than anything.

 

Feels like the Jays have consistently been pretty good - but never actually reaching their real potential

 

This has actually been the case. Long stretches of offensive underperformance. No prolonged stretches of winning, though the team has been very, very solid since mid-May. No stretches of overall poorness in that period. The team's record is probably exactly as good as it should be given what's been done.

 

When's the last time they even lost three or more in a row? I think that sweep v Tampa. Which was immediately before the slow turnaround. Pretty remarkable IMO.

Actually, they're 2 games below there Pythagorean record.

Better yet, why Cecil in a game within reach? Biagini was doing fine.

 

Gibby never learns.

 

If we cant get one LHH out (and not a great one at that) in that situation we are going nowhere. I didn't mind that call. Cecil didn't get it done. I didn't agree with Benoit. That was a critical AB in the game and he should have just went to Grilli and I wouldn't have bitched if he brought in Osuna. Little point saving them if Trout gets a hit.

There seems to be no jump in the team right now. Was hoping that come back win against the Yankees would ignite something, but that isn't happening.

Loup is our answer.

It's not on the manager at all........ lol

 

Really? Whose job is it to make sure they don't sleep walk through a series like this? It's east to collectively take a team for granted while being in the comforts of home. It's up to the manager to maintain an edge, which the players didn't show.

The sad thing is, I think Biagini's numbers against lefties are actually better than Cecil's this year.

 

Don't tell the hick that, though. Lefty on lefty all day! Dem matchups!

All that's happening is a whole lot of suckage

Accurate enough give or take some dumb luck. I just mean the team has been quietly performing like a first place team despite never doing the wrecking ball act from last year.

I agree, was just reinforcing your comment.

We got spoiled in 2015 with two 11 game winning streaks. Totally dominant. This team has been frustratingly consistent and good. Sometimes I have no idea how we are in 1st place. But its really been the rotation.

this team is so mentally weak. No fight at all when they get down.

 

They've came back and won plenty of games this year, they've also let too many teams come back and beat em, it'll even out in the end or better, team's too good.

Probably. Cecil's numbers are s*** this year. Part of that is a ridiculous BABIP against him.
