George Springer’s brutal slump with runners on base is crippling the Toronto Blue Jays’ offense, turning a once-clutch veteran into a liability in high-leverage moments. After dominating last season with power and RBIs in scoring positions, he’s now hitting poorly and turning weak contact into stranded baserunners. Opposing pitchers have clearly adjusted, and with Springer’s production tanking — including zero homers in key spots this year — the team’s run-scoring woes deepen. The pressure mounts on younger stars like Guerrero Jr. and Kirk as the Jays struggle to rally without their veteran leader stepping up. Until Springer finds his stroke, the Blue Jays’ playoff hopes may be hanging by a thread.
