Make or break time for Blue Jays who can't afford to collapse
Article content According to FanGraphs, a regularly visited baseball website that provides all kinds of meaningful and meaningless stats, the Blue Jays have a 95.5% chance of appearing in the post-season. Article content Given the club sits atop the AL East and trails only Detroit for the best record in the division with 34 games remaining in the regular season, failure to advance to baseball's second season amounts to a 100% embarrassment. Article content Article content Article content A series loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates doesn't exactly inspire much confidence as a three-game set in Miami begins Friday night, an occasion that will usher in the debut of former Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber and the expected return of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., whose left hamstring inflammation forced him to leave the series opener at PNC Park. Article content The return of George Springer following his concussion setback and his presence at leadoff the previous five games can't be understated. Article content When he returned, the corresponding roster move involved Joey Loperfido being sent down to Triple-A. Article content When everyone knew Bieber would be activated, Braydon Fisher became the casualty. Article content The business of baseball is a daily exercise when unwitting victims emerge. Article content At the end of the day, clubs are measured on wins and losses. Article content The Jays have done their fair share of wins. Article content In fact, 74 wins have been compiled to match last season's combined total. Article content Bieber has the pedigree and profile to have an impact on the handful of starts he's likely to get as the regular season winds down, but he's also coming off Tommy John surgery. Article content Article content He hasn't pitched in the big leagues since April of last season when he was a member of the Cleveland Guardians. Article content The Jays have a veteran-laden starting rotation that is quite deep. Article content Routine defines baseball and having a six-man rotation can be delicate, which is why Eric Lauer will be available out of the bullpen, at least for the time being. Article content The Jays have feasted at home and have brought the baseball buzz back to the city and by extension to the country, but the club's playoff-worthiness will soon be tested, if it hasn't already. Article content All these feel-good stories involving relatively unsung players, positional or pitching, sounds uplifting, but no one knows how the likes of an Addison Barger, Ernie Clement or a Brendon Little, among others, will handle the upcoming glare and scrutiny. Article content The Jays enter Thursday, an off day for the club, four games ahead of the New York Yankees.
