2024 Toronto Blue Jays Season

[STEVEHOLT]

" Are they lacking some important skill that enables other teams to come back from three run deficits?"
I don't know and I don't care. Fact is they've lost every game since July 2023 in that situation, and nobody else has. Why?
I
Dont
Care.

I only care that it is. Im not saying its predictive going forward of jack squat.
To answer your condescending "is it important to you and your simple caveman way of statistical interpretation vs my high brow intellectually superior understanding of data"

YES. its important to me because im a fan of the team and they LOST all those games. See i am a fan of a team. The results are what Im interested in. Not the "expected" results.

I am glad we got to the bottom of this.

Jays have a bad bullpen this year / right now in part due to injuries and players performing well below norms (Mayza, Swanson in particular)
Jays have no power
Jays are hitting .199 with RISP
Jays act deflated and show bad body language when they fall behind.

Its not a recipe for coming from behind (in any situation)

I’m impressed. Manoah managed an entire 2/10 of a negative WAR in a meager few innings

And what do you know, Jays are down 3-0 tonight.

Do they buck the trend.
No chance.

No chance.

8-0

Could see this one coming . Berrios was due for a correction given his FIP / ERA discrepancy as predicted in this text convo with a famous Syracusefan poster

jays are the only team in mlb to not win a single game in which they ever trailed by 3 runs or more since all-star break 2023.

Meanwhile they blew two games with a 3 and 5 run lead to the Nats this weekend .

The streak is finally over.
Jays come back from a 6 run deficit (7-1) in the early innings, and win 10-8.

I didn't think this offence was capable of outscoring a team with double digits, but somehow it did it (one time). At least Vlad is starting to hit (for average anyway) the last 10 games or so.

And they crash back to earth with 2 total hits vs a stiff. They stuck springer right back into the lead off spot like the morons they are
