I don't want to release Santos or trade him or anything of the sort, but he blew this game without question IMO. Not the end of the world, hope he shakes this one off and comes back stronger next time out.

The offense deserves just as much blame. They gave him the lead mans nothing, they still were awful against a weak Red Sox bullpen. How the BlueJays hit the ball tonight poorly has no relationship to how Santos pitched. This is not hockey
He didn't blow the game. He contributed to the Jays losing and was far from sharp.
