Any time you can run Yu Darvish out there once every 5 days (despite the health of your other starters) you're in an enviable position.

Oh I'm not looking for sympathy just venting.
I know the Jays used a ton of pitchers to date (28 I believe)
Rangers have Lewis, Harrison, Feliez, Ogando, and Perez out. Starting rotation now is Darvish, Holland, Tepesch, Grimm, Lindblom and Wolf had a spot start. There's 11 starters there (albeit 2 have been out all season).
That many pitchers out hurts the bullpen which is chugging along quite well for the Jays.
The Rangers just haven't been getting that one good inning at the plate.
As for Darvish, that's totally true, until his run support stopped he was on pace for a 20 W, big K amount, Cy Young year. That said you have former Cy Young pitcher RA Dickey pitching every 5 days, not to mention Burle has a perfect game under his belt.
Again I'm not looking for sympathy, but I'm not giving any to the Jays either
