Yeah and I still think Grilli can rebound if he can locate his fastball better.

 

One thing that jumps off the page in the boxscore from this game:

 

2-out RBI: Smoak 3, Pearce 3

 

Way to get it done guys !!!

 

Grilli got off to a bad start last year. He's still getting swing and miss. He's got unlucky with some extra base hits. His command has been awful. But I like his ability to bounce back as well. I just don't think you can pitch him back to back outings anymore. He empties the tank in his 1 inning. Plus hes 40.

I wonder what is up with Chris Coghlan. He has had above WAR values of 2.4 and 3.3 in 2014 and 2015 respectively with the Cubs, and whenever he gets sent down to AAA he hits well (according to the stats), but now with the Blue Jays he seems like a defensive liability and not reliable at the plate - http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=6878&position=OF

 

Unfortunately, this year Devon Travis is taking a similar route as Chris Coghlan, but hopefully Devon can turn things around. Ryan Goins seems like a similar type of player who can never seem to be a consistently good player although he has shown promise at times (however, Goins has been fairly consistent defensively).

hopefully Devon can turn things around.

 

He's gotten a base hit in four for his last 10 ABs. You can't really glean anything from such a small sample but maybe just maybe he already is turning it around.

Grilli can have value to the Jays, I just find that Gibby uses him too much.
