You've gotta feel for Roy Halladay. Last night's complete game 3-0 loss to the Angels was as gutsy as the Jays' offense was limpy. Doc got hit around, but bore down enough to snuff out several rallies, in the hopes that the bats would somehow come alive.They obviously didn't.
It's too bad Halladay can't hit, given his 1.000 OPS and .500 AVG.
Mind you, the Jered Weaver to Justin Speier to Scott Shields to Francisco Rodriguez combo that the Angels ran out last night is ridiculously solid, and looks like a playoff pitching staff.
But the Jays offense, which was sleepy throughout this month, has gone colder than cold. There isn't a single hot bat in the lineup, and no one is picking anyone else up.
It's too bad the Jays don't have a dedicated member of their coaching staff who is focussed on improving the team's offense. That might help.
Someone get that man a sarcasm detector!
ReplyDeleteWe just figured that we've used the words "Fire Mickey Brantley" so often that maybe we should adopt a slightly different stance.
ReplyDeleteWhat about overpaying for a guy who could show them the way...you know, a guy who loved them TO strippers...a demigod...who could fill the seats because he exists. I'm not asking for the second coming cause he already came...all over some muscular gal's chest. I just want to matter. I need this.
