I get that this is a rebuilding year. In fact, I'm all for it. As I've said before, I was and remain well prepared for 95 losses this season.
The early season mirage has been wonderful to watch but has yet to lull me into thinking this could somehow be The Year. Further to that, I know that young pitchers will break your heart. For every Ricky Romero near no-hitter (or Brandon Morrow near no-hitter, or Shaun Marcum near no-hitter, or Brett Cecil near perfect game) there will be speed bumps. I am well prepared for those, as well.
But what truly drives me crazy are the walks. By my count, Jays pitchers have walked sixty-seven Red Sox hitters over the past two nights. That's too many. I had to turn Monday night's game off in the second. I felt for Morrow. Especially after Hill launched his end of the double play throw onto the Mass Turnpike. But I simply can't stomach watching walk after walk after walk.
I feel better now.
