Toronto Blue Jays look for improvement in second half of MLB season
At the baseball season’s midway point, the Toronto Blue Jays find themselves hovering near the playoff cutline after a rather underwhelming first half.
Entering play against the Giants – Game 81 of 162 – the Blue Jays were 17-12 over their last 29 games, tied for the best record in the American League over that span. “It’s consistently been inconsistent,” said Toronto manager John Schneider. “I think that when you have players performing up to their expectations and our own expectations internally, that’s where I think the better baseball will be played consistently.”
Team defence and baserunning have improved thanks in part to the additions of outfielders Kevin Kiermaier and Daulton Varsho. AL hits leader Bo Bichette has anchored an offence that has plenty of pop but still struggles to convert opportunities with runners on base. Pitching help appears to be on the way. Hyun Jin Ryu and Chad Green are on pace to return later this summer after undergoing Tommy John operations last year.
