the season is just getting started

Small sample size at 9 games. Tough week to look at. Last night's 3-run loss is fresh and it shows. Compounding things, a -9 run differential over the last 7. The margins are ugly.

Blue Jays News

Alejandro Kirk's fractured left thumb is the latest blow for the Toronto Blue Jays, who are reeling after a 3-6 loss against the Chicago White Sox, marking their fifth defeat in the last six games. With a record now standing at 4-4, the team is struggling offensively, averaging just 4.2 runs per game, as the bats have gone silent against mediocre pitching. Addison Barger also had to leave the game, adding to the injury woes that now see multiple players on the shelf. The current -6 run differential over the last week reflects these issues, and with Kirk on the injured list, the pressure mounts for the remaining stars like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer to step up and turn this ship around before the season slips away.

In case the results weren’t enough, Addison Barger had to leave […]
