I mean people were worried about our offense, but that was because of guys like IKF, Biggio, Varsho, KK playing prominent roles. Other than KK these guys are all performing very well so far. I don't think anybody expected Springer, Vlad, Kirk (and now Bo) to be even WORSE at the plate this season than last.
Just a total waste of a great pitching staff and solid depth players who are actually the ones leading this team right now.
Pretty pathetic.

This is pretty much the problem with the bats. According to fangraphs, Jays are middle of the pack when it comes to offense (10th in WAR, 13th in wRc+), so it's not like they are putrid or anything. However, the guys who are supposed to be the "top guys" are barely replacement level so far. The supporting cast is probably outperforming expectations but the "core" is not holding up it's end of the bargin.
