Game Day Thread 06.13.21 - Jays (Ray) @ Red Sox (Perez)

One scary thing to keep in mind is Toronto had a lot of injuries and players missing for most of this season so far. They are finally getting healthy and have a full team outside of Springer and they are looking like a power house. I believe we are currently 4-4 against them ? Or 4-3. Whatever it is, but they are catching fire, getting healthy and hitting their stride….. we on the other hand are going backwards. HOWEVER, our bullpen is still playing very good as of late, and we still have a great offense. Unfortunately when the starters are losing you the game by the third inning, there isn’t much the offense or bullpen can do.

Is this just a bad stretch that every team has? Maybe……and if that is the case, then we will bounce back and still compete all year. Or….. is this what the starting rotation is actually capable of?? Sucking horse shit and blowing games before the bullpen can even have a chance at saving it.

I really don’t know…. And nobody on this board does so let’s not pretend we are experts and can predict the future. All I know is the starting rotation through the last 25 games has been atrocious. Wouldn’t be surprised if we were dead last in ERA through that 25 game stretch. If that continues, we WILL NOT make playoffs and that is just a straight up fact. Time will tell whether this is just a bad stretch (25 games in my opinion is more than a stretch) or if this is the actual rotation….. which is dog shit.

I believe we're gonna have to bring in our 'stopper' tomorrow on short rest to start another winning streak. Here's the ball, Moon. Give us your best shot.

I'm trying to help. Let's see if there is anything to this hocus pocus jive.

Breaking news:

The 11 earned runs charged to Weber actually lowered his lifetime ERA.

That is both hysterically funny and pathetic.

Not true, though. He's bad, but he's not that bad.
