You could start with Brett Cecil, whose pitches had little zip, even worse location, and were therefore very appealing to the hitters in the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim lineup.
Kyle Drabek also played a big role, coming on in relief for Cecil in the fourth inning, and looking every bit the confused young rookie, getting rocked for five earned runs off five hits in that frame alone.
The Toronto Blue Jays defence also chipped in, highlighted by Edwin Encarnacion's little dance routine at first base with L.A. runner Mark Trumbo, who somehow managed to scamper back safely to the bag in a three-run Angels' third inning.
So bad were the Blue Jays on Tuesday night, during an ugly 10-6 loss to the Angels at Rogers Centre, that it was difficult to pin the tail on the donkey.
As Toronto manager John Farrell has been so apt to say on many winning occasions this season: this was a team effort.
It looked good early on for the Blue Jays after super sub Mike McCoy ripped a single into centre field leading off, and later coming around to score the game's first run.
McCoy, who has had a pretty good run at shortstop for the injured Yunel Escobar the last couple of weeks, also drove in Toronto's second run in the second inning, to put the Blue Jays ahead 2-1.
"What Mike McCoy's done at shortstop has been outstanding," Farrell said earlier in the week. "He's somewhat of an unsung hero at this point.
"But whether it's slow rollers or plays up the middle he doing an outstanding job defensively for us."
After McCoy's swings, it was mostly downhill for the Blue Jays after that.
Cecil missed his previous scheduled start after he cut his index finger on his left throwing hand while cleaning out a blender. It probably didn't hurt as much as Tuesday, when he was rocked for four runs off six hits and was gone after three innings, his shortest outing of the season.
Enter Drabek, a September call-up, who actually fared worse, getting bludgeoned for six runs off seven hits through the two-plus innings he worked and the Angels lead was 10-2.
It wasn't the sort of game the Blue Jays had in mind as a sendoff for the fans in the final homestand of the regular season.
Or as one dissatisfied customer from the stands put it as the Angels started piling on the runs: "Come on Blue Jays, I came here to see baseball."
ESCOBAR OFFICIALLY SIDELINED
After missing the last seven games with a sore left elbow, the Blue Jays have opted to put Escobar on the 15-day disabled list. The move is retroactive to Sept. 11 and is more "procedural" than anything else, according to Farrell. The shortstop would be eligible to come off the DL on Monday, when Toronto is slated to begin its final series of the regular season in Chicago against the White Sox. Farrell said he is hopeful Escobar will still be able to play in a game before season ends.
WELLS A HIT
Former Blue Jays outfielder Vernon Wells proved a pain to his old team. Wells crunched his 23rd home run of the season to left field in the second inning on Tuesday. And his ground rule double in the third bounded over the wall in centre to bring home another run and provide the Angels with a 4-2 cushion.
WHICH WAY DID HE GO?
Encarnacion got caught up in an embarrassing moment in the third, after Trumbo got hung up between first and second base after driving in L.A.'s third run. With Halos runner Torii Hunter holding much of his attention dancing off the bag at third, Encarnacion took his eyes off Trumbo for a moment while holding the ball and the Angels player was able to quickly reverse his field and manoeuvre safely back to first. Trumbo also hit a three-run home run and drove in four.
