Is a Blue Jays Offensive Explosion Just Around the Corner?
Investing in your team, even when they don’t look quite as crisp as you would hope, seems to be the right thing to do. Let’s take a look at the Mariners’ season: at the start of the second half of the season, they were 51-45. Not bad, but not exactly setting the world on fire. In fact, it was questionable if they could make the postseason at that point. They were behind the Astros in the division, and they were chasing the Yankees, Red Sox, and a couple of other teams for a Wild Card berth. It was likely they would make it, but far from a guarantee. The team decided they needed to invest into the team. The offense needed more bats in the lineup. They brought in Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez. Their lineup went from okay, to being incredibly deep. Add in a monster season from Cal Raleigh and this team caught fire, took the division, and has been one of the hottest when it mattered most. Today they look to keep rolling after taking Game 1 with Logan Gilbert on the mound. Keep in mind, Gilbert came in relief for the Mariners the other day when they were facing the Tigers in Game 5. So he is pitching on very short rest, again. He allowed three hits and one walk over two innings of work. He did have one start against Toronto this year, going 4.2 innings and allowing two earned runs.Â
