3rd inning same thing. Edwin, JB and Martin strand 2 men w no outs.Just tuned in. 2 men's on no outs. Saunders, Smoak and Pillar all go down. Not even a productive out. Never happened last year it seems.
These are simply probabilities based on years and years of history. Some of those teams had momentum and some of them didn't.Hey, weren't you the guy always posting in Aug that we had the same record at the same point in 2015? I thought that was pointless cuz we were clearly surging last year, and stumbling this year. Momentum matter in elite sports, and maybe most in baseball.

The Toronto Blue Jays offence ranks 4th in the American League (of 15),The Jays offense STINKS to high heaven.
A team with such a shitty offense doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs.
Very good points.I agree they made some good moves and have a proven history for building a "competitive" team, but they have never won.
Like I said at the trade deadline, Cleveland never acquires big names trading away the future. But this year they got the stopper Andrew Miller giving up prospects and it looks like that could be the difference to take them all the way.
They built a good foundation in Cleveland for success, but any winning that happens this year or next, Shapiro/Atkins can't take all the credit.
What he did for Toronto this year, we got Benoit, Upton and Liriano.
Very early on in May, it was evident Cecil was not himself, and we needed LH reliever in a bad way, We suffered thru Loup, Cecil and that ambidextrous guy Pat something. Gibby often had to leave in a RH guy to face LH hitters which also cost games.
He didn't get us a LH arm in the bullpen.
Early on, we could see this was a Right dominated, high SO, low BA, all-or-nothing, live and die by the HRs team. We needed a LH batter, contact hitter who could keep the rallies going; kinda like a LH Travis. Instead he got us Upton. He's been better of late, but still kills a lot of rallies.
Not addressing these needs contributed to this Sept tailspin.
So far this month almost every opposing pitcher looks like Cy Young.Seems like it would be easy pickins versus the 4-12 Nolasco.
Do u know the split for Sept? I'll give you hint: it's awful.The Toronto Blue Jays offence ranks 4th in the American League (of 15),
6th in MLB (of 30) in runs scored.
There's folks on this forum oblivious to this fact as well. Often quoting full year stats which mask the recent suckage.Stranding base runners and making defensive errors is not an effective way to make the playoffs...
Can someone PLEASE inform the Jays?!?!?
(Since they seem to be oblivious to this fact...)
