The team is definitely frustrating to watch right now. I feel like you're right about 10-5 being an ambitious ask over this run in the schedule, but anything less will be a failure and we'll just fall further out of a wildcard spot. We are definitely between a rock and a hard place right now. The lineup just needs to figure it out. I feel like Guillermo Martinez should be under more of a microscope. Obviously the players are ultimately responsible for their own results, but Martinez should be able to help out slumping guys more than he has been. It seems like he has the backing and respect from within the clubhouse and management though, so maybe we really just have to trust the process.

Roughly a month left in the season. Now is the time to get hot. We haven't gone on a good run all season really. We need everyone clicking at the same time and soon.

I agree that falling short of expectations on this easy streak will be the nail in the coffin for our playoff odds. If we don't make the playoffs, I think Ross and some hitting coach will likely get fired in the off-season (not that I necessarily agree). As a fan, it's tiresome hearing the Blue Jays have dozens of coaching staff and FO people weighing in on all decisions and so a single hitting coach, for example, can never be singled out as responsible. Maybe it's time to de-emphasize that crowd-sourcing of opinions philosophy if it undermines accountability and isn't producing winning results. I heard that Aaron Judge has his own personal hitting coach. Why doesn't Vladdy?
