Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager forces out Toronto Blue Jays' Matt Chapman at second base as he throws to first during second inning MLB action in Toronto on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023.The massacre is complete, a four-game bloodbath at the hands of the Texas Rangers that has a season of so much hope for the Blue Jays careening swiftly and savagely out of control.
It certainly was an untimely occasion for the Jays to reel off a four-game losing streak, a torturous dissection by the Rangers, who outscored them by a landslide 35-9 in their Monday-through-Thursday visit to the GTA. As as result, a team that was supposed to be summoning its best for a playoff push is now on its longest slide since a five-gamer concluded back on May 22.
Yes, certain elements of the schedule may be in their favour, but you’d need to be a shameless optimist to get overly buoyed about what awaits. So what to make of the crumbling walls around a team that came into the season promising big things and even to this month had been firmly in control of their post-season destiny?
A leadoff walk issued to Alejandro Kirk in the seventh and a two-out free pass to Bichette? Nada after a Guerrero strikeout ended it. And now for the balance of the season, it’s on to 15 games over five series, all against AL East foes. There is still hope for a team deep in talent, but in four days this week it’s getting difficult to believe in it.Adding to the list of the Jays’ concerns right now — as if they needed more — is the recent wobbles from the starting rotation.
