How worried should Blue Jays fans be after two straight losses to open ALCS?

"First of all, one of the main worries have been the sudden shutdown of Toronto's prolific offense that carried the load and propelled them to victory during the first round in the ALDS. So far in the ALCS, the Blue Jays have been held to just four runs on eight hits, including just one hit beyond the second inning over the two games. The Blue Jays will first and foremost need to find some way to get their offensive mojo back."

"Secondly, the potential worries of a fallible Toronto bullpen have been drastically amplified in this series. Where the Mariners would have their relievers come in and shut the door (ZERO runs, one hit given up in nine innings pitched), the Blue Jays relief corps would give up the go-ahead run and more in both Games 1 and 2. With already an inept offense to date in the ALCS, Toronto practically needs their bullpen to be spotless to succeed."

The Toronto Blue Jays opened the ALCS trailing 2-0 after consecutive road losses to the Seattle Mariners, who advanced after a five-game ALDS. The Blue Jays have scored just four runs on eight hits through two games, with only one hit beyond the second inning. Toronto's bullpen surrendered go-ahead runs in both Games 1 and 2 while Seattle relievers allowed zero runs and one hit in nine innings. With the offense struggling, the Blue Jays now require near-perfect relief pitching and tightened performances from relievers. Historically, the franchise has never overcome a 2-0 ALCS deficit.
