The 2021 Blue Jays hit 262 home run, leading MLB, which was paired with the second-lowest K%. The 2022 Blue Jays had a top 10 offence before being dismantled that off-season.

Since then, the offensive has been "average" at its 50th percentile.

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

We've seen the Blue Jays play a "small-ball" approach for four years now.

The 100th percentile can win them a World Series. The 1st percentile gives us whatever the hell this season is. The 50th percentile isn't very good.

Something needs to change.

@officialylarge I like that

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

Since 2021, the Blue Jays have played 17 doubleheaders. Five of them have been against the Baltimore Orioles.

They've had at least one doubleheader at Camden Yards in all but one season (2023) every season since 2021.

It's a good sign to build a roof.

[Sportsnet @Sportsnet]

Tonight's Blue Jays vs. Orioles game has been postponed due to inclement weather.

The teams will now play a doubleheader on Wednesday, with the first game at 1:35pm ET, and the second at 6:35pm ET.

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

Hey, look on the bright side, the Jays can't be eliminated tonight now.

[Blue Jays Nation @thejaysnation]

Tonight's game in Baltimore has been postponed. The Jays and Orioles will play a double header tomorrow.

Watching Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series, and there are two what ifs that really standout to me:

What if they left Gausman in there to face Carlos Santana.

What if Whit Merrifield doesn't get hit by a pitch, forcing Raimel Tapia to come in.

Driving home and the moon (no that's not a fire) was pretty sick

Maybe even more changes? Idk

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

"Singlehandedly" wasn't the right word here, obviously the Jays did this to themselves. I should've phrased it better.

Of any team not named the Blue Jays, the Tigers have been the biggest detriment to their playoff hopes.

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

4-0 White Sox.

Detroit has singlehandedly killed the Blue Jays' playoff aspirations this month.

@IanBloss https://t.co/h1Q6pBfw1G

That was my suggestion

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

LF: Arozarena
2B: Torres

I think that'd be a better hitting team tbh

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

@CeaseEnjoyer Good option there too

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

@IanBloss I'd even be fine with Lowe and Suzuki, or some combination of the six.

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

Those were my picks, but Suzuki and Happ are options for LF. Lowe and Chisolm are options for 2B.

Thankfully what the Jays need offensively, there are options.

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

LF: Arozarena
2B: Torres

I think that'd be a better hitting team tbh

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

@trentpare54 No

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

Doing a set for every runner the Blue Jays left on base.

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

12-7 in August after he was called up btw.

[Cynthia Ryley Delaney 🏳️‍⚧️ @CynthiaRDelaney]

Blue Jays in August: 17-11

Blue Jays in September: 9-9

Charles McAdoo was called up on August 10th (22 days) and had 54 plate appearances that month. He's had just 16 this month.

Not sure why they stopped using him.
