Latest blog entries from Toronto teams across every league
The World Series shifts to Dodger Stadium with both the Dodgers and Blue Jays flying to Los Angeles after Saturday night’s Game 2 in Toronto. At least two, and likely three games will be played at Dodger Stadium, and the pitching matchups have been set for Games 3 and 4. Tyler Glasnow starts for the […]
2025 World Series, Dodgers vs Blue Jays — The Toronto Blue Jays trounced the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the 2025 World Series last night, plating NINE runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, alone. But tonight is another night, and the Dodgers have another ace, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, to send to the mound. That said, the Blue Jays have a pretty good counter in Kevin Gausman, who has a 2.00 ERA through four postseason appearances already this October. Offensively, the Dodgers did sc...
An explosion of runs led the Blue Jays to an early series lead. Will they extend that lead, or will the Dodgers strike back? Here’s an open thread for game 2.
I knew this would be the way it would go. Bo is available to pinch hit or come into the game at some point, but he’s on the bench to start. I’m sure he’ll start Game Three in LA. John said Bo felt good after the game and he expects him to be able to […]
The Maple Leafs are hoping to exact retribution on their QEW rivals and avoid a four-game losing slide when they host the Sabres in the second game of their home-and-home (5:00 p.m. EST, Sportsnet). Game Day Quotes Craig Berube on the team’s persistent defensive breakdowns: For me, it is more about some awareness. We gave […] The post Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Buffalo Sabres – Game #9 Projected Lines, Preview & TV Info appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The Dodgers will try to get their offense going in Game 2 of the World Series against the Blue Jays, using the same lineup and same batting order on Saturday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto. It’s the sixth consecutive game for the Dodgers with the same starting nine position players. In nine games after […]
The nice part about the Jays being in the World Series is everybody I talk to wants to talk baseball. It is one of the few topics I don’t mind talking to strangers about. I’d be ok if we win by half a dozen or so again tonight. Yesterday it was a 22-year-old making his […]
The script for how a particular game could go south for the Los Angeles Dodgers was followed to a tee in this blowout Blue Jays win to open the World Series. Much was made of the battle between elite swing-and-miss stuff from the Dodgers starter and a contact-oriented approach from the Blue Jays lineup. Contact […]
The Calgary Flames are not waiting around. With the league’s worst goals per game and a 1.5 clip dragging them to the bottom of the table, general manager Craig Conroy has begun working the phones for immediate offensive help. It is early, and most clubs are still in wait mode, yet Calgary is pushing to get an early read on what is available and what it might cost. LeBrun on Insider Trading says Leafs, Detroit, Florida, Buffalo and the Flames have all checked in and kicked tires on Yegor...
Good morning, LSB. We’re still light on any Rangers news but of course last night was Game 1 of the World Series in which the underdog Blue Jays did some swingin’. Ken Rosenthal says the quality of at-bats was the difference in Game 1. And the Brewers were probably at home going “Ohhhhh” as they […]
Hello folks, and happy Saturday! We’ve got the latest news from around baseball with the World Series now underway. MLB postseason scores… In Mariners news… Around the league…
In a game that was far from perfect for the Bucks, they managed to pull out a 122-116 victory over the Toronto Raptors. The team had 18 turnovers (most coming in the first half), and didn’t shoot great from three (14/40), but still found a way to gut it out. Giannis was monstrous, and as […]
Good morning Birdland, Folks, we have ourselves a World Series! The Blue Jays took Game 1 on Friday night, crushing the Dodgers 11-4 in a game that was over by the end of the sixth inning. Blake Snell, who had been terrific in these playoffs up until this game, was smacked around and knocked from […]
As they say, shooters shoot. And right now, few in the NHL know the meaning of that phrase like Matt Boldy. The fifth-year winger may have started the season with back-to-back three-point games, but his most dominant game so far was probably his effort in Dallas on October 14. He scored just one goa...
The Dodgers lost a clunker to the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night, thanks to a nine-run sixth inning that turned the opener into a laugher. Blake Snell allowed the first three runs of the inning, leaving after not retiring any of his three batters faced in the sixth, […]
I felt I gave Bo Bichette kind of the short shift in the recap last night (a normal thing; generally, I want the recap up pretty quickly, so some things get missed). I was a little worried about Bo. Not in the way some on Twitter were. I read a lot of people saying that […]
After a few days of mental regrouping, baseball is back, as the Blue Jays and Dodgers kicked off the 2025 World Series at the Rogers Centre up north of the border. It was a tense and tight start to Game 1 of the Fall Classic, but once they found their footing, the Blue Jays took […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We’ve got one game this weekend, and that is Game 2 of the 2025 World Series between the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays Saturday night from the Rogers Centre. Taking the mound for the Dodgers will be right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who finished the regular season with a […]
The Blue Jays are off to a dream start to the World Series, but the Maple Leafs are officially under .500 now, and it’s not looking so rosy in Leafland. This game was a whirlwind from the start. Just five minutes and one second into the game, it was already 1-1. Mattias Samuelsson opened the […] The post Game Review: Defensive leakiness continues as Maple Leafs lose third straight game appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The finale of the 2025 season kicked off last night, with the Blue Jays running away with a surprise Game 1 victory 11-4. Addison Barger’s pinch-hit grand slam was the gut punch that sealed the deal, but the Jays had already gotten to Dodgers starter Blake Snell well before that. Toronto took a huge step […]
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 3-4-1. On the team’s performance: Obviously, it’s just the loss, right? I loved the effort tonight. I thought we did a lot of good things. We competed extremely hard. The backend is banged up, […] The post Craig Berube on the Leafs’ 5-3 loss to Buffalo: “We played more to our identity and our game, with the way we want to play it” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The Dodgers have won the National League pennant for a second year in a row, dispatching the Milwaukee Brewers in four games in the NLCS. That earned Los Angeles a return trip to the World Series, which will begin on Friday, October 24. In the American League Championship Series, the Toronto Blue Jays won the […]
The Dodgers allowed nine runs in the sixth inning to turn a close Game 1 into a Blue Jays rout on Friday night. On Saturday in Game 2, Los Angeles will try to leave Rogers Centre in Toronto with a split. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was the rock of the Dodgers pitching staff this season, the only […]
The Dodgers got back to the World Series by riding a starting rotation on an otherworldly run this month. That earned Blake Snell extra rope in Game 1 but he tripped on it, and the Blue Jays pounced in a nine-run sixth inning in an 11-4 blowout on Friday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto, […]
Dodgers 4 Blue Jays 11 When you get nine runs in one inning, you generally win. The sixth inning was all we would really need. The sixth inning went: Just a terrific inning. Most runs scored in a single inning in the World Series since 1968. Trey Yesavage didn’t have his best stuff, but he […]
