My friends routinely ask me questions about the Blue Jays, and the most common one this year has been, “what the heck happened?”.
While some fans took the disappointing 2017 as a sign that the competitive window was already over, many of us believed that 2018 would bring a clean slate, and an opportunity for a talented team to show they are much better than they were last year. Unfortunately, it just hasn’t played out that way.
If I’m attempting to explain what’s gone wrong, there have been the usual conversations like Kendrys Morales epic struggles early in the year, or we talked about others like Randal Grichuk‘s first month, Devon Travis‘ start to the season, or even Russell Martin‘s batting average.
