It seems to happen every year.
Toronto Blue Jays pitchers dropping likes flies... flies being tracked down by Melky Cabrera. In other words, all of them.
27 pitchers have been used this year already (yes, yes, the "Rent" reference title is wrong). Is it really that bad? Well let's compare...
BAL-21
STL-18
TEX-18
CIN-15
PIT-18
BOS-19
ATL-16
NYY-18
OAK-15
ARI-14
TB-16
DET-17
SF-16
CLE-18
WAS-15
COL-15
PHI-18
CWS-15
SD-19
LAA-21
MIN-17
CHC-18
SEA-17
LAD-19
NYM-16
KC-14
MIL-16
HOU-18
MIA-17
Well the Jays are winning SOMETHING at least. They go through pitchers like Taylor Swift goes through boyfriends. Geez...
WHY?
1) Starting pitching - well yes, starting pitching is pitching. But starters aren't going deep into games, relievers are being used excessively, and the Greek Man on top is forced into roster moves.
2) The pitchers are just shitty - the last man in the bullpen hasn't been stable this year. From Jeffress to Lincoln to Weber. It's understandable.
3) Injuries - of course
In the end, it doesn't all come down to luck. It can be changed. The Rogers Centre isn't just a place to have a cup of coffee. Why not a whole batch?
