It maybe didn’t feel like it after Friday’s debacle, but the Blue Jays are on a roll, having won seven of their last eight games, despite running out the same disastrous bullpen that has been costing them games all month.
"Why we see so much of Joe Panik" ... I think somebody thinks the left handed bat is more important for being left handed than it is.
I think the 3-batters rule is a failure, and not only because I get no enjoyment out of watching Chatwood come out of the bullpen and immediately unintentionally walk the next batter with 4 pitches, and then load the bases. Or hit somebody. A pitcher with no control is a menace, and we really need to be able to pull them earlier. Do you get the sense that players and front offices agree with me? or not. And can we get the rule removed? It didn't make the games faster.

Aug 20 opening for a playoff run could be pretty wild
