Pedro thinks Blue Jays 'should panic a bit' about poor start

Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez believes it's time to sound the alarm north of the border.

The Toronto Blue Jays lost their sixth straight game on Thursday, a 2-1 defeat to the visiting Baltimore Orioles. Toronto is currently in the midst of its worst start in franchise history, and Martinez isn't liking what he's seeing from the club.

Toronto reached the American League Championship Series in each of the last two seasons, but currently ranks last in the majors in runs scored, average, on-base percentage, and slugging.

While the offense has been sputtering, the club has remained optimistic that the bats will wake up, and players have tried to remain positive during the historically poor start.

"It's still early," Stroman said Wednesday. "It's the first week of the season. Zero reason to panic."
