The hitting has been a problem, the team has faced some great pitching staff, we don't have a stretched-out 5th starter, some of our top bullpen arms have had health issues, and we are only two games below .500?

The sky is not falling. Winning in baseball is hard, and we are treading water while not playing well at all. I'll take it for now, but if this continues into June, at that point the doubt will be creeping in for me.

Excellent article, well done.

It's interesting that Springer, Bichette Guerrero and Kirk account for the 41% of Toronto's plate appearances. Their wRC+ is 80. Everyone else has a 107 wRC+. I think a positive turnaround is on the horizon.

Chris Black's comment regarding the high-quality pitchers faced by Toronto reminded me of Tim McCarver's quote concerning Bob Gibson.

"Bob Gibson was the luckiest pitcher I ever saw. Every time he pitched, the other team didn't score any runs."😉
