But hey, at least nobody seems to have gotten hurt. Kevin Gausman had a strong first two innings. He walked Shohei Ohtani to start the game, but then retired the next six Dodgers. They go to him in the third, though. Hyeseong Kim lead offf with a line double to centre, then Alex Freeland laid […]
The hero of last season’s World Series, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, returns to Rogers Centre to face the Blue Jays. Tuesday Game Info
The Dodgers finish off their six-game road trip with an afternoon start on getaway day against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Shohei Ohtani gets the ball in the series finale, the rotation maneuvered such that his next two pitching starts will come the day before a scheduled team off day. Since his last […]
It is a little early to be looking at underlying data for positives to take away but after the way these 1o games have gone I needed to look for my own sanity and figured I would put the positives out into the world to hopefully will the Jays bats into scoring some runs. Below […]
Man, if the Dodgers offense had been this hot the last time they were in Toronto, the series would not have gone seven games. But then I suppose we would’ve been robbed of all that amazing drama. Coming into the middle game of the Blue Jays series, the Dodgers have scored eight or more runs […]
I don’t know if I can go so far as to say that any night is a good one when there is no Yankees game. But Monday tested that thesis. Two AL East rivals, Toronto and Boston, lost. Detroit went down to defeat in Minnesota. After a first-inning solo shot from Cal Raleigh, Seattle never […]
Happy Tuesday! Another night of quiet hitting held the Mariners to just one run in their 1-2 loss to the Texas Rangers last night. Cal Raleigh’s first home run of the year, a solo shot to deep right field, was one of two Mariners hits all game. George Kirby takes the mound today for the […]
Mookie Betts met with reporters on Monday afternoon in Toronto, two days after he suffered the injury while running the bases in Washington D.C., and one day after he was placed on the injured list. Betts referenced an oblique injury he had during his American League MVP season of 2018 with the Boston Red Sox, […]
Dodgers 14 at Blue Jays 2 The last two games I recapped were one run, extra inning losses. Tonight was…not that. The Dodgers picked up right where they left off last fall when they were last here clubbing long balls, and it’s generally not going to be a good night when the other team has […]
The opening salvo of the three-game rematch of last year’s World Series was a one-sided affair, in which the Dodgers drubbed the Toronto Blue Jays 14-2 on Monday night at Rogers Centre. After scoring only seven runs in three games in a languid series against the Cleveland Guardians at home, the Dodgers offense has come […]
Coming off a 4-1 win over the Phillies on Sunday to prevent a home opener sweep, the Rockies also have more good news in the form of Ryan Feltner being able to take the mound today. Feltner looked sharp against the Toronto Blue Jays on March 31. He’d thrown three scoreless innings with four strikeouts, […]
Let the World Series rematch commence. Monday game info
The Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays are back at it on Tuesday night for the middle game of their series at Rogers Centre. Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts on the mound on Tuesday, looking for his fourth win in as many career games in Toronto. The other three just happened to be in the 2025 World Series, […]
Blue Jays starting catcher will undergo surgery on his left thumb tomorrow, per John Schneider. Kirk’s thumb was broken and dislocated by a foul tip over the weekend. We had hope that it would be a relatively simple recovery, but the need for surgery would aeem to suggesr a more complex and severe injury and […]
Our counterparts at Bluebird Banter have a fun segment in which they reach out to the opposing team’s SB Nation page before an upcoming series. Accordingly, before the upcoming Toronto Blue Jays/Dodgers series, which is the second-fastest rematch in MLB history, Bryant Tefler asked me some more questions he had about the current state of the Dodgers. […]
It seems like only yesterday when the Dodgers won the World Series by winning the final two games on the road at Rogers Centre in Toronto, including coming back from down two runs in the eighth inning in Game 7, setting of a string of improbable highlights that beat the Blue Jays and brought a […]
Baseball is such a peculiar sport. The Chicago White Sox just swept the Toronto Blue Jays, and that’s indicative of exactly diddly squat about those two teams. What we know for a fact is that no matter the campaign the Blue Jays will have had at the end of the year, it’ll be possible to […]
Not exactly the best week to face the Dodgers, as the Jays push through the weakest part of their schedule in 2026 going 4-5, topping it off being swept by the White Sox. The Jays have really struggled with their bullpen, with almost half their games going into extra innings, which is not something you […]
There was no sweep to be found for the Yankees on Sunday; just lots of rain and stranded runners, plus a bad eighth from the bullpen that doomed them. The Marlins salvaged the series finale, so the Yankees must content themselves on this offday with a 7-2 record to start the year that still has […]
It was an eventful long weekend for Jays news. The big one was that Alejandro Kirk fractured and dislocated his thumb on an Austin Hays foul tip late in Friday’s game. His actual prognosis won’t be known until he meets with specialists on Monday. In the best case scenario, though, it’ll be several weeks before […]
By golly, they actually did it! For the first time since 2004, the White Sox have swept their home opening series, by virtue of a 3-0 win over the Blue Jays. It what might have been Chicago’s cleanest game of the season so far—no errors, no baserunning mishaps, and most importantly, not a single blemish […]
This series has been pretty grim. The pitching hasn’t been awful, one significant meltdown notwithstanding, but the offence largely hasn’t shown up against a pretty bad pitching staff, and now the Jays find themselves on a 1-5 skid and below .500 for the season. In case the results weren’t enough, Addison Barger had to leave […]
The last of our three-game series with the White Sox. I am in Nagasaki, Japan today. This is going be one of those heavy days that we sometimes get on holidays. The US dropped an A-bomb on the city near the end of the Second World War. We have been to a few of these […]
Spread the word — the White Sox are on a winning streak! Just when it looked like things were as bad as ever or even worse, the Sox have begun to show some life as they’ve taken their season back home to Chicago. Now, after back-to-back wins over the defending American League champions, they’re on […]
A mere 156 days after hoisting a championship trophy on the field at Rogers Centre, the Dodgers will be back in Toronto on Monday to battle the Blue Jays in the opener of a three-game series. Justin Wrobleski, who got four outs in relief in Game 7 and during the World Series pitched five scoreless […]
