Starters are the problem right now.
Sanchez on Sunday 1 inning
Latos on Tuesday 4 innings
Stroman on Wednesday 3 innings
The bullpen has pitched 25 innings in the last 5 games and given up 8 runs, that's not bad.

They are ranked 21/30 in ERA to start the year. That's not great, but the offense is ranked 23/30 and based on team allocation that is terrible.
Other high-priced bullpens like Giants, Rangers, Mariners, Cardinals, even the A's (who i think have a pretty good bullpen), are all ranked below the Jays.
If your team spent 80% of its money on starters, and they all suck at the beginning of the season, do you start blaming the crap offence?
