I don’t have the data in front of me but I have to assume the Jays are like 20 games under.500 in Seattle and Oakland combined over the last decade. Maybe worse? Hopefully we can have better success against the Astros when they are moved to the AL west.
Hitters:
MAJ (1B) David Cooper, 1-3, .276, 2b (5), BB (4)

AA (CF) Jake Marisnick, 1-7, 1 RBI, .204
HiA (LF) Marcus Knecht, 1-3, .202, 2b (24), BB (42)
LoA (RF) Chris Hawkins, 2-4, 2 RBI, .286, BB (38), SB (11)

Pitchers:
SS (P) Roberto Osuna, 3 ip, 6 h, 3 er, 2 bb – 4 k, 3.38
Your muse made me think. TOR just doesn’t match up well against OAK. They’re a little better against SEA, but not much. Over the last decade (’03-’12), the Jays are:
SEA OAK
Overall Road Runs Overall Road Runs
46-37 13-22 401-337 41-46 15-21 403-407
No matter how you slice it (straight up; Pythagorean; home; road; overall; etc.), it ain’t real pretty. They kill SEA at Rogers (33-15), but are useless at Safeco. They’re pretty much a .500 team against OAK at Rogers (26-25). Two mediocre-to-bad teams who beat on TOR like a pinata in those big parks (combined record of 28-43 over the decade).
Sorry, the format didn’t really work out as I hoped but it should be decipherable!
Wow, great work! Formatting looks fine on my phone.
Not at all surprised by those horrendous results. Definitely needs to be shored up if we are ever to actually “contend”.
