TORONTO - A straggler wandered into John Gibbons’ office in the visitors’ clubhouse at Progressive Field on Saturday evening.
The Blue Jays manager glanced up from the plate of food in front of him with an expression on his face that has become a familiar one this season. Perplexed? Bewildered? Frustrated? All of the above, plus a host of other emotions were reflected in that look.
He had finished answering many of the same old questions with the same old answers regarding his team’s inconsistent offensive production. Twice inside a 24-hour period, his powerful lineup had been stymied by Cleveland pitchers.
