Pitching Injuries Becoming All Too Familiar For The Blue Jays
For the first six weeks of this season, the Toronto Blue Jays have been digging themselves into a hole. Some say this hole is close to becoming too deep to climb out of.

The Return of Brandon Morrow, Strikeout Artist
Throughout his six-year MLB career, Brandon Morrow has tantalized us with his potential. He was capable of elite strikeout rates, but his spotty control and penchant for the long ball held him back.

I’m not sure who we saw last year, but it sure-as-shootin’ wasn’t Brandon Morrow. Just 7.80 K/9 with a 2.96 BB/9? No, that’s not Morrow. That’s Ryan Dempster!

The hard throwing Blue Jay starter is 7-4 on the year, with a career high three complete game shutouts and an 3.01 ERA.
