The thing is, the Toronto offence hasn't just been super hot this past month. The entire year they've led the MLB in RBI's, Runs, Doubles, HR's, etc. they're a consistently strong offence that was obviously made stronger during the Trade Deadline, but they've had the best offence in the league all year. The problem for them before the Trade Deadline was that their pitching was shit. And no matter how good your hitters are, they can't carry you to playoffs alone if your out he's are giving up a ton of runs every game. By improving their defence and pitching staff, they made themselves a well-rounded, strong team all around. A reliable veteran like LaTroy Hawkins, a shutdown set up man like Mark Lowe. Osuna has become quite the closer, something that Toronto hasn't truly had in a long time. He's arguably one of the best rookies this year. Sanchez l, with his return to the bullpen, is back doing what he does best. And then David Price, a true #1 starter, an ace, a guy you know will win you games almost every time he plays. Even previously crap pitchers like Cecil have shown they an actually shut down the other team.
Donaldson is on his way to being the AL MVP. The guy's a fudging baseball God. Tulowitzki can hit, and he's one of the best defensive shortstops in the league. With guys like Bautista and Encarnacion, proven hitters who were struggling, it's only a matter of time before they get back to killing it, and that time is now. Russel Martin, my Canadian boy, one of the best catchers in the league. Ben Revere, hitting champ last year, defensive ace this year, the list goes on.
As they say in the Jays commercials. One nation, one team, have come together. This is 1993 stuff going on this year.
