The Toronto Blue Jays offense regularly gets criticized for a lack of production. Even though Toronto Blue Jays fans are right to feel this way, the pitching this year from the Blue Jays might not be as good as you think. At the time of recording this video the Blue Jays are ranked 27th in the MLB in terms of pitching. The Toronto Blue Jays pitching was always supposed to be their strength, but so far that hasn't been the case. In this video we are going to talk about the pitchers and decide whether or not this is something to worry about or if the rotation will eventually right the ship.

Alternative take: Aside from a few terrible outings, most of which were early on, the Blue Jays pitching has been excellent and is a key reason they are above .500. The worry is not "Will they get better?" so much as "Can the pitchers keep pulling off wins without much run support."
One thing for sure is that we have a manager problem
People may ask how can the Jays offence be ranked so low and our pitching be ranked low but still be over .500 and fighting for a wild card spot. Two reasons. First we tend to win small but lose big and since out defense is so good we don't give up many unearned runs. On a positive note both our pitching and offense have been a lot better the last 10 games than the first 10 games. Hopefully they can keep up that trend.
Have you seen the starting pitching the last six starts???? 5 ER in 32 innings, you can't get better than that. I think the pitching will be fine. It's, as always.. stiuational hitting that is their biggest issue.
Starting pitching has been good. You can’t take stats too seriously 20 games in. It’s the hitting that every Jays fan is concerned about.
When Romano takes as long as he does to close, he goes up to like 20-30 pitches which means he can't pitch the next day. It's really bad and he lets too many guys hit and walk
I'm not a huge Romano fan. I think he's overhyped
Based on last night's game they have moved to 25th in ERA. The Dodgers are 20th.
Too small a sample size. They’ve been carrying this team and is the sole reason for them being above 500.
Romano is horrible. It's not how many games he saves. It's the nerve recking way in which he gets the saves. A closer shouldn't have fans constantly on EDGE when he takes the Mount. He's overhyped and overrated. I tuned out each time he made an appearance 😢.
Jimi is our true closer right now. He struck out the side of the 1-2-3 batters in the line up in the 8th last night. Romano is a blown save waiting to happen every time he pitches.
He's not "horrible" 🙄 2.65 Era, 1.12 whip, 3.5 k:bb, 11k/9 career. Those are very good numbers
@@paulg6274 Exactly Paul. I don't give a rat's ass how Romano does it as long as he does it !!!
@@harveyotoole2029 You actually want your best reliever to be fliexible and pitch in the most important situations anyways--which may come in the 7th or 8th. So if Jimi is their best guy right now, let him take that role. The save stat causes managers to misuse their pen alot
I'm glad you mentioned this. Everyone has been on the bandwagon but you're right to point out his nerves. Very up and down. 😮
I think it takes a little time for some pitchers to get into their grooves. I'm not worried as is but hopefully they will get back to mid season form soon.
It’s way too early for worrying. At this point of a season one bad outing can drastically change stats.
Pitchers will turn it around for sure
Almost everytime I see Romano coming in the 9th, I feel he doesn't feel comfortable pitching without runners on base
Our pitching has been so good
We should absolutely be worried about the Blue Jays relievers. I've said time and time again that guys that throw 93 mph as relievers are like BP for good hitters. Even Romano worries me a lot. The SP will be solid, but I really dislike this pen.
Your sample size is to small take out the worst and best one it changes
To be fair there were some blowups, other than that we’ve had good pitching otherwise
Pitching is good, bullpen will improve
It's hard to pick on the guys that brought ya?😊 😮 Let the the first 6 sort it out, their to good not to have some beautifully pitched ballgames this summer/fall ❤ GO JAYS GO
life is way too short to worry about the Jays' pitching, seriously dude.
The problem is Romano can't pitch a 123 inning. Can't do it.
And the offence is rank near the buttom when hitting on scoring position
Bro the pitching is good nothing is bad about their pitching
I just don't trust Romano (as a closer) - personal opinion, the overall pitching will get better as the season progresses. Gausman and Francis are killing us, Bassitt's first 2 starts were bad(but starting to come around). Richards and Mayza concern me too.
Romano is good and he will continue to be good. He sometimes makes games scary but he is trustworthy.
@vstitanic8218 We'll see. Lovin' Jose "LA Makina" Berrios. 4-0, 0.85 ERA. Phenomenal stuff Jose! Our NEW Ace!! If Gausman comes around, the Jays will be scary this year.
@@stephen9302 I watched his game in San Diego in person he is phenomenal
I noticed we were near bottom of the league in ERA the other day and had to do a double take. It hasn't seemed like it's been that bad. I guess Kikuchi, Berrios and Yimi being so good has kind of blinded us to the reality of our situation. btw, i was legitimately like #69 this time...hehe
At the end of the day, it's only 20 games. Do another video aftet 50 games then judge.
Lol there isn't really a pitching problem, that's why nobody is talking about a problem that doesn't exist
So tired of these “ couch coaches “ they talk as though they are authoritarians and are sickening to listen too!!!🤯😡🥵
La Makina - Pronounced LA MUCK E NAH
Mitch White is finally gone, Jays traded him to Giants for cash 🎉
First
I wish Alec was back
First off Nicholas,the Jays pitching will be fine . Second: What happened to your left arm? I hope that it isn’t serious.Get well 🔜 ❤️🩹 🇨🇦⚾️🦬
Yimi should close
Or the 8th depending on where the opposition's middle of the line-up falls. The guy has been lights out!
Enough yapping
Starters are weak. I have two words that will drastically improve the Jays pitching. “”TREVOR BAUER”. 🎤 drop
