I agree 100% that the Jays need to fix their approach at the plate and that their need to always swing for the fence cost them.
But that doesn't change the fact that this series was closer than 4-1 and that the only difference between the two teams was that they Indians hit timely home runs.

How can you say this series was closer than 4-1? Other than game 4, at what point did you actually think the Jays were going to win a game? I can't think of a single point. Scores may have been low, but Cleveland victories were never in doubt in my mind.
