The Jays against any team is getting pretty close to becoming that. There’s a distinct possibility this team is losing 90 games this year given their run creation and bullpen.

Boycott Loblaws may expand to boycott the Shatkins Blue Jays in a hurry.

Like this isn’t a team that is simply unlucky…they’re actually really, really bad.

Can't say this isn't surprising. Expecting the pitching to be as good or better than last year and at the same time hope for bounce back year offensively from multiple players and also hope other players who had a good year for no drop off is fools errand.

Every year there will be a few who will surprise (kk offensively, Kuch pitching wise last year, and you have drops offs - Vlad, kirk, etc)

Now we are seeing pitching isn't nearly as good, a few hitters have improved, and others have gotten worse (bo) so far

Don’t worry the Jays are unnecessarily starting a guy who can’t get minor leaguers out again tomorrow

Do yourselves a favor. Turn off the TV and stop watching this garbage. Just like the Toronto Maple Leafs, fans should be demanding changes. This FO has had 9 years to build a team that will contend for a championship. They have failed and they need to be shown the door!

Davis has a 159 wRC+ on the season, 165 wRC+ career. He’s been a top 5 hitter in baseball since he entered the league

Your prediction of 85 to 90 wins for this team does not look really good right now. It is still early. Only May. Plenty of baseball still left to be played though. Fans need to be patient.

Maybe this comeback will galvanize the team and turn the season around? One can hope.

Or their bullpen loses it for them and it further pulls them down into the gutter.

C'mon Randle, he's clearly a platoon player against lefties only. /s
