When the season began just a couple of months ago it was clear that the Jays had a killer pitching staff but a very green offense. When shutdown closer had an 0-4 record and all three of their weekend starters had ERAs over 3, while the offense couldn’t score a lick and tried to bunt and hang dong to win, it was evident that this was going to be a very long, tiring, disgusting year.
Yet the offense began to round itself out and the pitching staff returned to normal, thus making Creighton, despite their record, a formidable opponent.
