Where do you draw the line? Tucker isn’t the first (and won’t be the last) above average batter to be on a hot streak.
Stripling's actually been decent as a starter. Pitched well vs A's & Red Sox and kept the Jays in a game where they were playing Verlander. Kikuchi needs to be better thoughJust finishing the game. That catch by Springer wow. I was sure that was going to drop
Literally said to my buddy at work before the Bo HR, "Just hit a HR Bo, it can't be that hard"
No series losses yet. Got a bad feeling that's going to end with Stripling and Kikuchi going in the Yankee series but at least we miss Cole. They're due to lose a game eventually right?
Given his "miracles" seem to be limited to former all-stars and/or pitchers with elite stuff, who were probably going to figure it out anyway, I doubt it. I'd rather be wrong, though.It took Walker a few months to fix that (plus a whole offseason). Hopefully he can work the same miracle this time, only faster.

Technically Kikuchi is a former all-starPhew! Turned off the game just in time. The number of times I've seen them blow a save...let's just say I've watched only one save attempt this year. Guess which one?

Right before Bo hit his home run and they showed footage of him freaking out on the bench, I thought "Maybe if you didn't keep swinging at pitches in the dirt, you wouldn't be so angry". I know he CAN routinely foul off those pitches, which is damn amazing, but still...just take the walk.
At least the home run pitch wasn't in the dirt.
Technically Kikuchi is a former all-star
Springer came up huge this weekend vs his former team.
Saturday he hit 2 HRs which were the lone runs for the Jays' win
Today he beat out a groundball that would've been a DP and that gave Bo the chance to hit that HR and of course that incredible catch in the 9th

All these 1 run wins may come back to haunt them when fortune evens out. I remember 7 or 8 years ago Baltimore was in 1st place for much of the season, but their run differential was terrible, but because they won so many close games it didn't matter. The last 2 months their fortune ran out, I hope that this isn't what will happen to the Blue Jays.
I don't remember the details of that season, but I don't think it will be an issue for the Jays. I vaguely remember the Orioles overperforming that year while this year the Jays are actually UNDERperforming so far. Their offense is way below where it should be, they're lacking a bunch of key players, and there are a few pitchers who will likely pitch a lot closer to career norms when they get back on track. Some of them haven't even pitched yet.All these 1 run wins may come back to haunt them when fortune evens out.

The difference is that these Jays are an elite team scuffling now and missing several good players.But, they’ve also had a pretty tough schedule. If anything, they’re going to keep winning with a bigger run differential.All these 1 run wins may come back to haunt them when fortune evens out.

Yep, and it eliminates a massive black hole in ZimmerSoon as Hernandez is back our order gets much better. Vlad is getting nothing to hit right now and Gurriel is much better suited to the 5-6 spot than 4. Were winning the hard games with depleted team can't wait til healthy and schedule lightens up !
