The Toronto Blue Jays just split their series with the Boston Red Sox. It was by no means an easy time in Fenway Park. Game 2 of that series, a 5-4 Bosox victory took 15 innings to complete. That's like having played nearly two games in one night. Tiring and disappointing no doubt for the Jays. But at least, they managed splitting the series in the end.
Now, they move on to face Edwin Encarnacion and the Cleveland Indians.
The Indians (48-49) have had issues of their own but still lead the A.L. Central.
The Blue Jays (44-51) sit at the bottom of the A.L. East, 5.5 GB Wildcard spot. Seems like injuries with this team just won't disappear for the long haul. Take Aaron Sanchez. Having returned from the DL after a lengthy absence on the mound, he returned to pitch Game 3 (a 5-1 loss) and had his once-blistered finger re-blistered. Sigh. Can the Jays ever get this right, somewhere at least?
That's a question only the Jays can answer. It is called depth and consistency, something still lacking on this team. Try as they might, and might as they try, they cannot seem to get to the .500 level. Nope. Not yet. Maybe not ever this year. Take your pick. Luck will decide that.
For now....
GO JAYS GO!
