4 out of the last 5 games the Jays have lost were due to the bullpen blowing 2 and 3 plus run leads when handed the game in the 7th.....it hasn't just been one pitcher...it's been cecil, loup, delabar and Sanchez. Were these typical or a-typical type performances? Given the past couple years, these were rough patches and we can expect the bullpen to be better the moving forward, especially with Janssen coming back and it was good tonight.
When Lindy comes and lawrie come back in a couple days the Jays will have all of their core guys in the lineup together at the same time for the first time this year. Things haven't all been clicking by any means for the Jays. The Jays starting pitching looks way better, the offense looks way better...only the bullpen has been worse and I think that will round into form, especially once Janssen gets back.
The Jays have the best run differential in the AL East...yet only a handful of believers on this board that they can even be in contention come September. Kind of sad, really.
