Hoffman's numbers are the equivalent of the Dril tweet about spending $3,600 on candles.

ICYMI - By some metrics, he's been one of the worst and unluckiest relievers in baseball this year. By others, he's been one of the best.

What on earth is going on with Jeff Hoffman? https://t.co/Jp1lAXqWRY

[Ian Hunter @BlueJayHunter]

The Blue Jays' beleaguered bullpen isn't getting enough credit.

They've pitched the fifth most innings in MLB, and have five relievers who are among the league leaders in appearances.

His ERA and BABIP are through the roof, but those numbers don't tell the complete story with Jeff Hoffman.

He's having a truly bizarre season with the Blue Jays. https://t.co/Jp1lAXqWRY

[Ian Hunter @BlueJayHunter]

This wasn't quite "Colby Rasmus gets hit in the face with a baseball while he's not looking" level of unlucky, but the Jesus Sanchez injury is as fluky as it gets.

Charles McAdoo made history with his home run last night, joining some exclusive company in Blue Jays history. https://t.co/CuwMSqBfpS

For the first time since April 4th, the Blue Jays are back at .500.

Kazuma Okamoto was a massive wild card heading into Opening Day.

As we near the 1/3 mark of the season, assessing how Kaz has adjusted to the big leagues. https://t.co/TsrRBnwDx3

With another 2-1 win tonight (their fourth of the year), the Blue Jays are 6-12 when scoring 2 or fewer runs in a game this season.

That's somehow the third-best record in MLB with 2 or fewer runs on the board. (Hat tip @Stathead)

[Ian Hunter @BlueJayHunter]

Who could've guessed that by the end of May, Yohendrick Piñango would be a fixture in the top half of the Blue Jays' lineup?

More on the organization's #10 prospect, who has suddenly made a name for himself.

@raddude1221 The position players loved it, the pitchers, not so much.

More here on the merciful end to Lenyn Sosa's 52-game streak without a base on balls.

It's shockingly not the longest streak without a walk in Blue Jays franchise history!

[Ian Hunter @BlueJayHunter]

Last night, Lenyn Sosa ended his Major League-leading 52-game streak without a walk. His teammates were pretty pumped.

It was the longest walkless streak in MLB since Kevin Pillar went 60 consecutive games without a walk from 2023-2024.

Lenyn Sosa's teammates going wild for his first walk of the season might've been the highlight of last night's Blue Jays game.

There's nothing better than the lid cracked at the Blue Jays game. Bring on the summer.

[Ian Hunter @BlueJayHunter]

The Blue Jays are 2 games under .500, but are 7-3 in their last 10 games, now tied for the final Wild Card spot.
