It was not the most successful road trip the Blue Jays have experienced but this past week in Oakland and Phoenix provided a lot more to like than not to like about this team’s immediate future.
It started and ended with the worst, then the best of Marcus Stroman but, in fairness to Stroman, he wasn’t the only Blue Jay who looked a little scattered when the team reunited in the Bay Area after the all-star break.
That opening 8-7 loss to the Athletics rankled manager John Gibbons because his team looked a little frayed around the edges.
