Upcoming TOR series - Jays threw 2 shutouts

[Aglets]

Granted it was against Detroit.  I'm sure they aren't exactly expected to go far this year.  But should we be extra concerned about the Jays pitching staff?  I know we face a rookie tonight right.

You mean the starters? They did split with the Tigers.

Thanks for the correction.  Not sure how I misread ESPN like that.  They got shut out, then threw 2 shutouts.

Still, they only allowed 6 runs in 4 games.  Pretty good against any team.

We should be worried about basically every team, because we are mostly likely going to be the worst team. Lol. So I wouldn't stress too much about it. Let's just see what happens!

We just scored 14 runs in 3 games against the best pitchers the Yankees could throw at us.

If I had any expectations for the year, then sure, I'd be concerned...but I don't. I expect a loss every night and just hope for a bright spot or two to take from it. With such a mindset, it's hard to find myself concerned at all.

No. The Detroit offense is abysmal. Maybe worse than ours. If the Jays SPs are still producing after a few series with some of the other AL East teams then we can talk. That said, the Jays offense might be as bad as Detroit's so that's something to look forward to.

Well, to be fair we didn't face Severino who's arguably their "best" pitcher.

Exactly.

Well, is he? If he is hurt? Like Bundy. Or Cobb. Are they our "best" if they are hurt all the time?

Tanaka has their biggest paycheck............just saying..................

I was pleasantly surprised by our offense in New York and in spring training.    I’m not expecting big things, but at least right now they’re holding their own.

Severino's coming off two straight season's of throwing 190+ innings so I don't really understand the logic in labeling him as injury prone. Now if you want to label Paxton as being injury prone then I'm completely fine with it because he's never thrown more than 160 innings in a season.

So by that logic Chris Davis is our best player? Severino and Paxton are the Yankees best pitchers (when healthy) and it's a toss up between Tanaka and Happ for who is their third best. I wouldn't be surprised if Happ posted better numbers than Tanaka this season.
