The 2021 Toronto Blue Jays - by Moses

      Here is how are Jays have fared through the first 76 games (40-36).  There have been probably eight games that we should have won.  Mismanagement by Manager Charlie Montoyo.  This won't prohibit these Jays who are young and hungry.  We'll be in the race come late July.  The starting pitching staff has been very good to this point of the year.  We're one eighth inning reliever away from having a strong bullpen.  I say bring up Jacob Waguespack from the Buffalo Bisons to pitch in eighth inning situations alongside Anthony Castro, with Jordan Romano as our closer.  Tyler Chatwood can't be trusted in these situations, he's a sixth/seventh inning reliever alongside lefty Tim Mayza.  It'll be interesting to see how Ryan Borucki fares upon his return from the disabled list (which may put us over the top) alongside the return of Julian Merryweather (who were dominant when they were healthy). 

  With the return of George Springer our offence is at full gear.  Rowdy Tellez will be in the lineup  shortly and will add depth when facing right-handed pitching.  The lineup is stoked to produce (which they've done all year minus Springer and Tellez).  The reality of this team is that we could just as easily be 48-28 to this point of the year.  Alek Manoah has shown he's a solid starter for our rotation, and Ross Stripling has progressed nicely as our four starter.  With Anthony Kay we have six starters that can produce.  It'll be interesting to see if the Jays will bring up lefty Zach Logue from Triple A for a few starts as he has been dominant this year in Double A and Triple A.  There is also speculation as to whether or not to bring up Kevin Smith (2B/3B) from Triple Ball as he carries a .938 OPS in Buffalo currently.  Kirby Snead has also put up dominant numbers in Buffalo and is worthy of a call-up.  Richard Urena (2B/SS/3B) is also having a fantastic year and could likewise see some playing time with the big club.
