What’s to know The off day Monday allowed the Blue Jays to skip Sanchez’s turn in the rotation, which would have come Thursday. What’s wrong with the Blue Jays offence? The 2016 Jays scored 40 runs in those first 14 games, an average of 4.0 runs per game. Statcast data shows barrelled balls as a group generate a batting average of .500 or better and a slugging percentage of 1.500 or better. The differences — six extra outs, six fewer home runs, seven fewer singles — would appear to point to some poor luck for Blue Jays hitters.
