Cause for concern with B.J. Ryan?

No doubt after closer B.J. Ryan blew his first save opportunity of the season (yet still won the game) his critics will claim the Jays are in a heap of trouble with the former all-star. But what to make of Ryan coughing up the lead in the 9th inning? Is there cause for concern or is it merely a blip on the radar?

After whiffing Marcus Thames for the first out in the 9th, Brandon Inge tattooed a Ryan offering off Windows restaurant in centre field. The concern of fans at the Rogers Centre was palpable. After a miserable spring, in which Ryan got lit up and his velocity was down, the big lefty failed to close the door on the Tigers...

But let's give Ryan the benefit of the doubt, at least for now. It wasn't as if he was pounded for 6 hits and 5 runs. He made a mistake on one pitch and paid the price dearly. It's easy to correlate his struggles in spring with this outing, but that simply might not be the case (unless this becomes a trend.) On the plus side, Ryan's fastball reached the high 80's, so his loss in velocity seems to be a non-issue. Had the Jays lost this contest at Ryan's expense, it'd be a whole lot harder to reserve judgment...
