Wow, where has all the offense gone?? I would like to know as much as you as the Jays are really struggling for the big hit.
Runners in scoring position is currently atrocious, since April 22 the Jays are 15-76 with RISP!! This might explain why they are unable to score runs. We know the offense & big hits have to turn around sometime right? Maybe they are putting too much pressure on themselves as expectations are high from last year. The weather is starting to heat up, lets hope the bats do too very soon on.
I am not one to jump the gun being a Jays fan for as long as I have, We have seen the team go on some incredible runs in other years. This will happen again soon as its not just the offense that is struggling but the bullpen has been very suspect at times as well. Cecil has yet to find his form from last years incredible 36 inning scoreless streak, & Storen hasn't really shown us his shut down stuff. These things will come over time as the bullpen threw 4 scoreless tonight & got out of a couple of big jams for their first win of the season. We do need to remember that it is only May!
The starters continue to put up very impressive numbers & really keep the Jays in the games. This is one area that I am continued to be impressed with, quality starts are becoming normal. Once the bullpen can shut the door then that's when the winning streak will start. May will be a winning record and don't be surprisef if Mr. Encarcion breaks out his slump with some big hits.
Remember patience is a virtue.
