Yet Another Jays Depressing Loss

Brendan Cellucci got the next four out, three of them strikeouts.

Chad Dallas got eight outs, giving up an Gunnar Henderson home run.

José Rodríguez got three outs.

And then Fluharty and Rogers. The Rogers’ pitch? Missed the spot, it was mean to be on (of just off) the inside edge and instead it was pretty much center cut. These things happen. Maybe score more than three runs and this wouldn’t matter. That’s pretty much baseball, there will be that pitch that isn’t where it was supposed to be and, if you are lucky, you will hit it well. I always laugh when baseball people say ‘he only made one mistake’. No, pitchers make mistakes all the time, and most of the time, it still isn’t a home run. But the time that they hit the mistake, it can go a long way.

Jays of the Day: Dallas (0.13 WPA), Springer (0.12) and Rodríguez (0.11)
