Steve Phillips

And if you could just keep it close and then let the offensive bullpen do their job.

here's steve phillips or tsm baseball insider steve when it comes to this blue jay team um there's a lot kind of missing early on early five and seven they've had a lot of injury problems but is there one thing in particular you think they need to click here they need to get going that could permeate the rest of the group and the rest of the problems

Yeah, I think the offense probably is that.

But, you know, they're trying a little bit too hard, which means that they're making base-running mistakes.

They're, you know, overzealous.

You know, Varso charging a ball that he should have laid back on and it got by him in the outfield.

And, you know, Heinemann making the last out at third base.

Vlade making the first out of the inning at third base.

I mean, you know, the sloppy stuff that they kind of cleaned up last year

But it's the stuff they're doing now.

And, you know, that to me is a lot of it is just being overzealous.

It's trying to do too much instead of just playing the game.

And I think if they were hitting and had more confidence, I think that they would would sort of not be over trying.

So I think as much as I love, you know, I want to say defensive pitching is what I think they need to get the offense turned around.

Yeah, I would agree with that.

I think it starts with Springer.

I mean, George was the catalyst last year, obviously.

He's hitting leadoff tonight.

You know, the injuries are there.

Kirk's not here.
