And keep in mind, Toronto's bullpen was by far the worst in the league for the first 6 or so weeks of the season. Now they have also rounded into form, with Cecil pitching better, Grilli filling the 8th inning gap and Osuna being very reliable as a closer. Benoit seems to be fitting in quite nicely, as the 5 or 6 appearances he's had for Toronto have seen his ERA drop almost 100 points lol. Joe Biagini hasn't given up an earned run in I don't know how long. I mean i'm not going to act like it's a pen that lights the world on fire for one second, but just the same as Baltimore has VERY SLIGHTLY improved a glaring weakness with their starting pitching, the Jays have actually much improved their leaky bullpen. A bullpen which was pretty damned sturdy against a frustrated Orioles team on Friday night.
I am still holding out on the head office pulling their heads out of their asses with Sanchez and letting him pitch the season out.
