All year the Bullpen has been one of the weakest aspects of the Blue Jay's game. Last night, in a very tight game VS the Oakland Athletics, Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Chad Green highlighted this weakness.
Jays' Chad Green gives up walk-off homer in devastating loss to host A's.
After a masterful performance on the mound for both teams, a pitcher's duel ensued. With the game tied 1-1 game going into the 9th, Chad Greene came in to face JJ Bleday. On his first and only pitch of the game, Green threw a hanging slider that resulted in a long walk-off home run for the A's.
This has been a recuring theme all season, a quality start for the starting pitcher and then the bullpen blowing a lead or a tight game. There needs to be more help on the back end if the Jays are going to make the postseason.
