I make this post about three or four times a year. The latest was two weeks ago:

Every time I watch these Jays, I wonder how they're not a .600 club. They got bats, starters, relievers...and they struggle to stay above .500
No wonder Hinske lost his mind up there.

Honestly this year, it was
1) injuries (tons, and wells has been playing hurt and is getting surgery)
2) terrible with runners in scoring position and 2 outs
3) brutal team speed which means we can't play small ball
Next year we should challenge the whole year

by small ball you mean stupid ball right?
that's pretty much a good thing... small ball "play" generally hurts teams

I feel like I need to post this in every thread the Jays are mentioned. THEY ARE NOT DOING WELL BECAUSE THE TWO BEST TEAMS IN BASEBALL ARE IN THE SAME DIVISION.

They're 6-8 vs. BOS and 8-9 vs. NYY. From what I've watched of the Jays (and I get to see a lot of them in Canada) , they've had zero timely hitting (i.e. RISP), abysmal hitting all year long from the meat of their lineup, have failed to beat up on sub-.500 teams, and can't win on the road. Add to that the injuries they've sustained and it makes them look a lot worse than they are.
