Though they rallied for the win Saturday, costly mistakes have left key wins on the table for the Blue Jays, writes ShiDavidi. In a shortened season, there's still plenty for the ambitious club to clean up, and a shrinking runway to do so.
TORONTO — Under normal circumstances, 12 games is a mere blip, a sliver of season so small that to view it is as representative of anything would be foolhardy. All that holds true this summer except for the sliver of a season part, with a dozen contests suddenly the equivalent of a far more significant 20-per-cent chunk of the schedule.
To this point, they’ve mostly pitched well, disappointed at the plate and made an unsettling number of mistakes, leaving at least three wins on the table. That’s five per cent of the season, and for an ambitious team with post-season aspirations, there’s plenty to clean up and a shrinking runway.
