... Hitting 17 solo shots in a row is 17 runs. You're saying that 17 runs are a bad thing? It doesn't matter whether you hit three solo shots in a row or go single, single, HR. It's the same number of runs.
I don't think you have an accurate mental image of the Jays... they had the sixth highest OBP in the majors (3rd in the AL), 6th best ISO (3rd in the AL), 6th best pitching in the Majors (2nd in the AL), and MLB average fielding. Folk ought to stop thinking that the 2016 Jays were some one trick pony... they weren't. They were actually a very well rounded team.
