Dodgers lost 6 of 7. Time for Red Sox to lose 4 straight

Keep the momentum going! Would be nice to at least get the split here guaranteed this early in the series!

Vlad or someone needs to catch on fire down the stretch here, odds are slim but they’re not completely out of it yet.

So no Rogers, and hopefully no Varland though he will probably be available. Dude has thrown a ton lately.

It would certainly be nice if the offense could provide a few more runs so that Varland could have a little more rest. He's looked far more human in recent games/weeks and this is likely due to the excessive workload he's been shouldering.

Feels like you can count on one hand the number of times the Jays won a game handily, where the leverage relief pitchers could take the night off.

Offense has just been abysmal all year, which creates a bad snowball effect.

Mentioned a few days ago that the Jays have had 1 win where they won by more than 4 runs over the past month.  Its been high leverage nonstop.

Yeah we're not going to win many games the next two weeks scoring 2 runs 

The offense needs to show up

ooof - it's been painful.  Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see some magical run happen, but as soon as that dream ends, I can't wait to see Sean Keys, Bateman, McAdoo, BV, Clase, Smith, etc. get some run with the team.  Let's see if we might have anything there.

I'd say the same thing about our pitchers, but all the losers they've brought up this year look like utter sh*t.  Waldron, Dallas, Van Eyk, Estrada and Lee are all have as many walks allowed as strikeouts.  It's embarrassing bad.  They make Tommy Nance look like Mariano Rivera FFS.

I still can barely believe we won yesterday with Taillon and SWR pitching most of the game

77.8% of moneyline tickets and 75.9% of the money yesterday was on Boston. 

[Governator]

I see Sandoval Red Sox and I think Pablo and just how bad he was after joining Boston.  Good times.

Whomever gave that stat was incorrect.

They beat the Cardinals 5-1 aug 1st, Boston 6-0 july 25th, and a couple blowouts in a row in San Francisco July 7th and 8th. Varland pitched in one of the SF games.

Still, the overall point remains true.... offense sucks. 

A part of him looking human over his previous few outings has also been bad defense. 3 of the 6 runs allowed were unearned.

Another arm to abuse for a few games until some others can be shuffled back up again.

Lee sucks.

Some of these will have to be part of the magical run. 

Vlad/Springer/Okamoto should be given 2 days off a week at this point.   Not because the magical run is impossible, but because it is only possible if those 3 shake off their fatigue and lingering injuries and Sean Keys plays some kind of Kevin Maas (going a few years back there) role.
