Yikes...this slump stinks. With clothespin-pinched noses, Drew and Kaitlyn weave through Toronto's losing streak. With series losses to both Boston and Tampa, is there one underlying shortcoming that can be attributed to their lack of success? Was the sweep by Tampa all the more stinging considering it's...well...Tampa? Why are Tampa's "faceless goons" in the bullpen better than Toronto's "faceless goons" in the bullpen? How are the Rays able to identify unheralded talent better than the Jays? When will we see the best version of Toronto? Are injuries the only thing holding this team back, or will upgrades need to be made? Gurriel Jr. playing 1B is telling about how Toronto views his defense.
