The true Maple Leafs flaw that gets exposed in the playoffs

This era’s Maple Leafs have not hit their ceiling for a variety of reasons, but Justin Bourne writes how there’s one flaw that continually gets exposed.

Have the Toronto Blue Jays‘ bats finally woken up?

It appears so, at least for one game. The Jays managed to score more than five runs for the first time in 21 games, doing it against the Kansas City Royals on Monday.

Toronto looking anything less than pedestrian on offence comes as a surprise, considering they rank near the bottom-third of the MLB in most hitting statistics. The Blue Jays entered Monday’s game 24th in the league for runs (109) and hits (218), 25th in RBIs (101) and 20th for home runs (27).

As a team, Toronto is batting .230 (23rd) with a .686 OPS (19th). Through the last 10 games, the team had failed to score 3 or more runs and was averaging 2.4 runs a contest.

Their hitting woes are a major reason why they’re currently 14-15 and fourth in the AL East. Which is why a night like Monday, where swings were connecting and leading to runs, was very welcome for Jays fans.

Granted, it took a spectacular game from Justin Turner who hit two home runs for three RBIs along with scoring two of the Jays’ runs himself. But at this point, whether it’s by committee or by individual heroics, it doesn’t matter. As long as they’re scoring some runs.
