The Blue Jays offence has sputtered miserably out of the gate with the exception of shortstop Freddy Galvis who is hitting .333 with three homers on the young season. The offensive contingent appears lost at the plate on most nights specializing in making average pitchers appear much better than they actually are.
The Blue Jays have struck out 95 times by my count including 14 times yesterday which included six punchouts looking. The Blue Jays have displayed an extreme inability to hit breaking balls and opposing pitchers have exploited their weakness.
They are not moving runners as was on display two nights ago when Luke Maile failed to get Richard Urena to third base after a leadoff double in a tie game.
