This run differential talk is a bit misleading, since the Jays for two and a half months had to rely on guys like Easton Lucas and Bowden Francis pitching every 5 days. Francis was terrible in nine out of his 10 starts.

We should be looking at the run differential stats when these two scrub pitchers were no longer counted in the rotation, and Scherzer came back. The Jays run differential stats are a lot better.

What pretext? He literally didn't like Heinneman asking about a ball.

LOL Bassitt is an embarassment on the road. Of course it was Pham too.

It'd be nice if one of Gausman, Bassitt, or Berrios could get back into something resembling ace mode. All three have been unspectacular for 90% of the season so far.

Gausman is the only guy among those who could ever be said to be an ace for any period of time and he’s well past his prime at this point.

Losing this game on a Pham RBI double after he trashed both Barger and Heineman will be the worst loss of the season by a fair margin

Santander is gonna take Lukes’ spot full-time if he’s healthy by the end of September

Big if there though
