Let’s finally get some runs for gausman!!! 

[jaysblue]

The bats need to wake up! 

[jaysblue]

One plus for today is the pen is well rested and if a save situation arises, they likely look at Varland, Rogers or Fisher. 

[Jays24]

Fun fact - the Dodgers backup catcher has more HRs (5) than anyone on this team (3). 

Yes, we have injuries but that doesnt excuse the piss poor slug we've seen from our team when theyve been in the lineup.  While Vlad has been good in the field + getting on base, we need more slug from him!!

[Jays24]

Another fun fact - only Lauer and Scherzer from our starting rotation have a win on the season lol.

Yeah injuries don't help, but also can't be the only excuse as to why this team isn't performing well. The Jays just need to survive this stretch, meaning staying close to .500 so they don't fall too far behind. I know people point to last seasons slow start, but you can't expect an exact repeat of what took place last season. 

Reality is others need to step up like Vladdy, Okamoto, Sanchez in terms of some slug, and we need the bullpen to lock down winnable games. Gausman and Cease have both been doing their jobs, heck even Corbin has looked decent in his brief time here.

The season is far from over, but got to start winning series and hopefully finish April only 2-3 games below .500 instead of 6-7+ under.

It would be really nice if they can just find a way to win today. Putting themselves in a bigger hole by the day.

The bats are non existant, excepted 3-4 guys in the starting lineup including the bench.
