The vast majority of baseball fans have very short memories (myself included), so it’s no surprise to me to see the optimism around the Blue Jays after their first three games against the Detroit Tigers. Those games produced two wins, but more importantly, three very solid appearances from their starting rotation.
So far we’ve watched Marcus Stroman, Matt Shoemaker, Aaron Sanchez, and Trent Thornton take a rotation turn, and the results couldn’t have been much better. In fact, through the 24 innings posted by the rotation so far, the Tigers failed to score a run against the starting pitchers.
