Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
Happy Friday, everyone! Well, it’s been a dismal week to be a Tigers fan, that’s for sure. They were swept by the Mets, which is the first time all season the Mets have swept anyone. But they’re home again, they’re facing the Blue Jays this weekend, and hopefully they have some wins ahead. If we […]
The Detroit Tigers finished their six-game road trip on Thursday afternoon with a 9-4 defeat at the hands of the New York Mets, sweeping them out of the Big Apple and giving the team just one win over that stretch and losses in eight of the last nine. Injuries, poor defense and an anemic offense […]
It’s been a tremendous season of Cubs baseball so far with the team putting together two 10-game winning streaks and still in the midst of a 15-game home winning streak before Memorial Day. Neither of those events have happened since 1935, and you know when a team with a 150-year history is doing things that […]
Today would have been Roy Halladay’s 49th birthday. Depending on who you ask, Roy Halladay is either the best or second-best Blue Jays starter of all time, but there’s no question that he and Dave Stieb top the list in franchise history. Stieb was the best AL pitcher of the 1980s, while Halladay dominated the […]
Wednesday can comfortably be filed away in the “bad” drawer for the Yankees. They mustered just a single hit in a shutout loss to the Orioles, a game in which Max Fried departed early with ever-troubling elbow soreness. The loss keeps them in the hole in the American League East, as they eagerly look to […]
The Blue Jays beat the rays tonight, walking off in the bottom of the tenth inning thanks to a grand slam homer. Winning this game felt like a tough challenge even before the game started. Apart from a poor start against the Red Sox, the Blue Jay’s Dylan Cease has been very effective. And the […]
There is a major change in out TV broadcasts. For the first time in many many years, Buck Martinez isn’t sitting in one of the chairs in the booth. Dan Shulman is still there. As is Hazel Mae and Arden Zwelling are still the sideline reporters. And Jamie Campbell and a rotating cast do the […]
When the Jays are playing the way they are, I find it hard to come up with things to write about. Or perhaps I’m just depressed about the state of the team. At the quarter mark of the season, the surprise player (well, surprise in a good way) has to be Brandon Valenzuela. He’s only […]
We’re a little more than a quarter of the way into what’s shaping up to be a profoundly disappointing season for the Blue Jays. I want to dig a bit into each of the guys who’s on the roster and has received significant playing time this year to figure out what’s going on and whether […]
Death, taxes, and the Tampa Bay Rays defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in the year 2026. Drake’s 15th project, Iceman, is set to debut May 15, and Shane McClanahan sure had Blue Jays bats frozen Tuesday evening in “The 6ix”, as McClanahan went five innings, allowing only one hit and one walk while striking out […]
Jays are facing a tough pitcher tonight. Hopefully they will be able to get some hits off him. But Patrick Corbin has been pretty good too. Tonight’s lineups: Today’s Lineups RAYS BLUE JAYS Yandy Diaz – DH George Springer – DH Jonathan Aranda – 1B Myles Straw – RF Junior Caminero – 3B Vladimir Guerrero […]
There isn’t much for news today. Jake Bloss pitched for the first time this year, after UCL surgery a year ago. He threw 2.1 innings, with four strikeouts. He allowed 2 hits, with no walks and no runs, pitching in the FCL. We could use him now, but it will be late June before he’ll […]
With his 4th inning strikeout of Hunter Feduccia last night, Kevin Gausman became the 91st pitcher in major league history to record 2,000 strikeouts (and finished the night in 90th place given that Andy Benes had 2,000 on the nose). Gausman is just the 10th among those 91 to have played for the Blue Jays […]
Josh Phelps turns 48 today. Phelps was once considered one of the Blue Jays’ catchers of the future—except, as it turned out, he wasn’t a catcher for long. Before the 2002 season, Josh was ranked #36 on Baseball America’s top 100 prospects. He tore up the minors. In 2001, he hit .292/.406/.562 with 31 home […]
Rays 8 Blue Jays 5 Generally, if one player drives in five runs, his team wins. But not today. Andrés Giménez homered in the first (three run shot) and the seventh (two runs), but we also gave up a bunch of runs. Things went bad for Kevin Gausman right from the start. Chandler Simpson bounced […]
So a day with actual Jays’ news. Barger to IL, Lauer to anywhere else. Pinango back and Yariel back on the 40-man and the 26-man all at the same time. Today’s lineup: Today’s Lineups RAYS BLUE JAYS Chandler Simpson – LF George Springer – DH Junior Caminero – 3B Yohendrick Pinango – LF Jonathan Aranda […]
This morning, our head Tom reported that Yariel Rodriguez was coming up and speculated that Eric Lauer might be the roster casualty. He was right, as Lauer caught a DFA this morning and his roster spot has gone to Rodriguez. It’s been a rough season for Lauer. As Tom noted, his velocity is down. for […]
Yariel Rodriguez will be with the team for tonight’s game. The team had an open spot on the 40-man roster, but there is no word on how they will free up a spot on the active roster. Rodriguez has thrown 13.2 innings, with 9 walks, 25 strikeouts and 7 hits, with a 2.63 ERA. I’m […]
Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford scored much more than the game-winning goal for FC Barcelona today. Nine minutes in, Rashford achieved a scoring strike that proved to be the decisive blow for the La Liga title race. Ferran Torres added another goal, nine minutes in, and Barcelona beat Real Madrid, at the Camp Nou, to […] The post Marcus Rashford Discusses Potential Barcelona Future After Title Clincher appeared first on The Sports Bank .
In the latest episode of Dbacks Dispatch, the Diamondbacks finally offered something for us all to look forward to discussing with co-workers this Monday morning. After a long stretch of frustration since the Blue Jays visited Chase Field, the team took two of three games from the New York Mets. The atmosphere around the club […]
Angels 6 Blue Jays 1 Well that was awful. The Jays got a run in the first and then didn’t get another base runner until the eighth. They did load the bases in the eighth, but Vlad ground out softly to third to end the chance We had five hits on the day. Daulton Varsho […]
You know…… Baseball isn’t always a good thing. It didn’t even twig on me that Addison Barger’s 100+ mph throw from right field may not have been the smartest move from a fellow just off the IL. And it should have. There should have been a big flashing warning sign. There should have been an […]
For the second day in a row, the Yankees played a somewhat frustrating game in Milwaukee. They did better offensively on Saturday, but the three runs didn’t end up being enough, as the Brewers rallied twice before walking it off in the 10th inning. With the Yankees facing a speed bump after a hot run […]
Angels 1 Blue Jays 14 The only inning that really mattered was the fifth. The Jays scored seven runs in the bottom of the inning and that was more than enough. But the Jays added six more runs in the seventh and eighth. Trey Yesavage was good enough, for four innings. He allowed four hits, […]
Well, this one surprised me. We knew Addison Barger was going to be activated today, but we didn’t know who would be going to Buffalo to make room. Davis Schneider? Lenyn Sosa? Nope. Yohendrick Piñango. The one hitting .423/.444/.462. I get that he has options and all, and we know Piñango wasn’t going to continue […]
