“We’ve been in every game because of the way we’ve moved the pitching around.” The BlueJays have continually been juggling a bullpen running on fumes. After a gruelling stretch, the team's most reliable arms get a chance to recharge. (By ShiDavidi)

Without a doubt, this approach isn’t sustainable over 162 games and with 26-man rosters limited to 13 pitchers instead of the current 28 with as many pitchers a team wants. The Blue Jays are currently carrying 15.

Nine different relievers are in double digits for appearances, led by the 20 each for Bass and Dollis, 19 for Cole, and 17 for Wilmer Font, who hit the IL on Tuesday. Canadian Jordan Romano was at 15 games when he hit the injured list 10 days ago, and would likely be over 20 now if not for his finger injury.“We’ve been in every game because of the way we’ve moved the pitching around,” said Montoyo. “Every game, except today. That’s because of what we did.

“I think it’s the trend of the way the game is going,” said Roark. “Yes, there are some strategic moves that we do, which I understand. Thank God we have an off-day but during this 28-game span, these guys are normally starters, most of them, not used to day off, pitch, day off, pitch.”returns from the injured list, he’ll come back as a reliever and Montoyo said the Blue Jays will be sure to give him extra time to prepare before entering a game.

So, put all together, there are many competing interests for the Blue Jays to balance here, with 17 games over the next 18 days after a badly needed breather Thursday.

Toronto Blue Jays' Tanner Roark sounds off after being pulled - TSN.caToronto Blue Jays starter Tanner Roark allowed two runs in four innings Wednesday night but was pulled before he was allowed to face the New York Yankees' order a third time. Turns out, he wasn't happy about it. Lol Welcome to the new and unimproved shitty sport called baseball. Nooses are in the bullpen. He’s right. This 3rd time around is nonsense. He was pitching well. Should have stayed in there IMO
