the 2025 jays offensively are a deep, explosive and relentless hitting team . They come at you in waves because their top, middle and bottom part of the batting lineup/order can hurt opposing pitchers/fielders with their bats equally. There are no bad hitters for opposing pitchers to get easy and quick outs against. Even guys like Gimenez, Clement, Lukes and IKF can be a threat at the plate and it’s tough for opposing pitchers to strike them out . And with the jays, no lead is safe. They’re a comeback team. They were the team with the most comeback wins in MLB this year. They led the league with 49 comeback wins

The jays hitters this year always find a way to get the ball in play, reach the bases/get on bases , don’t only rely on power hitting/homeruns, emphasize contact hitting, rarely swing at bad pitches during their at-bats and rarely strike out a lot because they are disciplined, patient, effective and smart hitters with good pitch judgment/anticipation/awareness that know how to work out the pitch count and wear down opposing pitchers/relievers.

We blue jays fans should be grateful for David Popkins, the blue jays hitting coach, who was the mastermind behind the blue jays offensive renaissance this year. The jays hitters listened to him and implemented his strategies and approach at the plate. It paid dividends big time




Their main weakness this year has been base stealing and baserunning. We have been too cautious and didn’t take a lot of risks on the base paths. The blue jays this year were the 3rd worst team at stealing bases(they were ranked #28 out of 30 teams) I suppose we need to add more speed in our lineup and make improvements in that department. We need more speed and our base runners need to play with more audacity, initiative, intelligence, and better situational awareness on the base paths next year.

But otherwise, they dominated nearly every offensive statistic available in baseball this year.

1.They had more base hits than any other team in the league during the regular season.


2.They were ranked 4th overall in the league in runs scored

3. They were ranked 13th in homeruns.

4. They had the Best OBP( on base percentage) in the MLB

5.They had the Highest/best batting average in the majors.

6. They were the 8th best team when it comes to BABIP(batting average on balls in play )

7. They were the 4th team with the most RBIs in the league this year

8. They were also the team who grounded into the most double plays this year though. Whatever I guess it came with the territory of being a top 5 offensive team in baseball

for all the hate that barger gets for his baserunning...

what the fukk was Clement doing swinging at the first pitch when Glasnow just came in...let alone that terrible pitch.

i expect way more from what is usually a smarter/more patient hitter. that shyt right there pissed me off more than the baserunning mistake low key
