JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

They, I guess, only had to use three relievers yesterday.

Do we have a sense yet of how they'll try to navigate tomorrow's game?

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

Or is that so dependent on the ability for Corbin to give them length tonight?

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

Yeah, and that's, you know, no pressure, Corbin.

By the way, Josh Fleming is the starter today.

JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

And I guess I was going to say listed starter, but that's an 11 a.m.

game.

JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

So I guess he's not getting pulled from that one if he's still listed as the starter an hour from now.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

So probably not Fleming in the mix for that one.

JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

But, yeah, we'll see from there.

Ben, the other thing you mentioned, if the Jays get up 11-0, Corbin can pitch all day.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

They have not been doing that.

And there have been some signs over the last two weeks that as a group the offense –

JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

I won't say has turned it around or got going, but they've been average the last two weeks or so.

One thing that's really still...

JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

been a struggle for them though is situational hitting they went over with runners in scoring position last night they had that big spot in the sixth where they get runners on second and third with nobody out and they're only able to bring one of those around they're down to 28th and weighted runs created plus with runners in scoring position 27th and slug what have you made of their struggles in general offensively but it seems to be you know disproportionately when they have a chance to get a rally going and have a big inning

JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

And that's, it's a great point because, you know, big picture, you're right.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

The data mostly backs you up that the water will settle to its level when it comes to situational hitting.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby

And I mentioned those ranks that the blue Jays are in weighted runs, creative plus, and slugging with runners in scoring position.

Blue Jays Talk
