Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
A series win would nice. George Springer is in the leadoff spot again. And no Andrés Giménez. It is against a lefty. Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS TWINS George Springer – DH Byron Buxton – CF Ernie Clement – SS Trevor Larnach – LF Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Josh Bell – DH Kazuma Okamoto – 3B […]
First Pitch: 1:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy This week, I had free tickets to my first two Target Field games of the year, the deflating Tuesday night loss against the Seattle Mariners, and the series-opening victory against these very same Toronto Blue Jays. I wish I could say […]
Today’s game is a 2:00 starts. It made it nice for me, I could enjoy the Newcastle United win without leaving it at the end. I haven’t had enough Newcastle wins this year. Andrés Giménez isn’t in the lineup again today. After yesterday’s error, I was wondering if he was 100%. He didn’t look right. […]
First-year MLBer Kazuma Okamoto put some hurtin’ on Simeon Woods-Richardson, the Twins threw too many outs and chances away. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: George Springer with the leadoff single, and a good cheer comes through on the radio. So, as usual, there’s a lotta Jays fans at TF. Who in my experience are basically the nicest […]
Jays 7 Twins 3 Kazuma Okamoto had a slow start to the season, but he’s picked things up lately. Today he had 2 home runs, a walk, 3 runs and 3 RBI. 31 games into his MLB career he has 7 home runs, and 18 RBI. And, unlike yesterday, the pitching was good and the […]
Game two of the series with the Twins, where it is 12C today. It has to be a better game than yesterday’s, right? Ernie Clement gets his first day off of the season. Lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS TWINS George Springer – DH Byron Buxton – CF Jesus Sanchez – RF Austin Martin – RF […]
Time: 7:10 Central Weather: Partly cloudy, 52° Opponent’s SB site: Bluebird Banter Radio: Gets louder after 8PM Tonight’s Blue Jays hurler is Patrick Corbin, who in 2018 signed a six year, $140 million contract with Washington, and boy did they get hosed; an ERA of 5.11 and WAR of 2.8. He was slightly better in […]
The Twins finally found the solution to their bullpen: just score enough that they can’t ruin it. Byron Buxton did everything he could, and this time, the rest of the lineup was able to deliver the key hits they’ve been lacking these past two weeks. It was a pitcher’s duel early, with both teams only […]
Blue Jays 1 Twins 7 That was awful in a lot of ways. The offense was sad, just six hits, only one an extra base hit, Daulton Varsho’s fourth of the season. It was good to see, because he’s looked lost at the plate. George Springer had two singles. Vlad, Clement, and Valenzuela had one […]
First Pitch (CT): 6:40 PMTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN/830 WCCO/102.9 The Wolf /Audacy AppKnow Yo’ Foe: Bluebird Banter Bad news: The Twins keep losing extremely winnable games either due to offensive ineptitude, a bullpen built like it’s 2003, or a combination of the two. Good news: every other team in the AL is also bad. As I […]
The big news in Yankee world on Wendesday was the MLB debut of Elmer Rodríguez. The pitcher is ranked as one of the top prospects in the Yankees’ organization and is one of just a handful of recent Yankees’ pitchers to debut at age 22 or younger. Well, the Yankees ended up losing on Wednesday, […]
Tyler Fitzgerald had one glorious five-week stretch for the San Francisco Giants in 2024 where he hit 13 home runs in 26 games. He fell off so badly that the Giants traded last season’s primary second baseman to the Toronto Blue Jays in early April. But now Fitzgerald is ready to revive his career with […]
Red Sox 1 Blue Jays 8 That turned into a surprisingly comfortable win. I didn’t think Eric Lauer looked great today, lots of deep fly balls finding gloves, but he only allowed one run in his 4.1 innings, on a Willson (who puts two L’s in Wilson?) Contreras home run. He gave up 5 hits, […]
The Red Sox have lost the quick-flash momentum of the managerial change already. Chad Tracy fell to 2-2 as the interim after another poor starting pitching outing and insufficient run production. Boston failed to lock up a pair of series wins against division opponents, as the Blue Jays earned the advantage of this three-game set. […]
George Springer is back from the IL and Eloy Jiménez has been DFAed to make room. Jiménez was hitting .290/.343/.290 in 35 PA with no extra base hits. I’ll admit to being surprised, I figured it would be Yohendrick Pinago heading back to Buffalo, but if Eloy isn’t hitting for power, he doesn’t have much […]
TV: NESN First Pitch: 3:07 p.m. ET The Red Sox need a complete 180 from Brayan Bello when he takes the mound Wednesday afternoon at Rogers Centre. His last start with 13 hits allowed in Baltimore must be flushed as the Red Sox look to cap the road trip with another series win. Boston deploys […]
On a recent episode of the Managing Madrid Podcast, the post-game show after Real Madrid’s 1 – 1 draw away to Real Betis in La Liga, Kiyan Sobhani, Leah Revelle, and Sam Sharpe broke down the performance thoroughly. On the episode, the crew discussed a lot of big picture discussion, especially given that the match […]
Red Sox 0 Blue Jays 3 That’s all the Jays need for a win, have their pitchers throw a shutout. . Trey Yesavage continued on from where he finished off last year. He went 5.1, allowing just 4 hits, no walks, with 3 strikeouts. John pulled him at 74 pitches. Trey seemed a bit bemused […]
Every once in a while, you get a picture (like that one up there of Jarren Duran) that so perfectly encapsulates how the night went for the offense, you just have to use it. But tonight, we got two: After a three game winning streak that included several signs of life from the lineup, they […]
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are collecting as many Fitzgeralds as possible for their Triple-A Oklahoma City roster. On Tuesday they acquired infielder Tyler Fitzgerald from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations. The Dodgers also have Ryan Fitzgerald, who was acquired via waivers in January 9 and later sent outright off the 40-man roster. […]
Boston Red Sox pitcher Ranger Suarez was well on his way to throwing a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. I, for one, am glad that he couldn’t get the job done. If you aren’t aware of the circumstances, let me paint the picture for you. Suarez allowed just one hit across eight […]
A light Monday slate, along with some of the Yanks’ rivals facing each other, made for a quiet night. The good news about these teams playing each other is that someone has to lose. The bad news is someone has to win. Monday, for example, Boston and Tampa took down Toronto and Cleveland, respectively. With […]
Red Sox 5 Blue Jays 0 Any game where your team only gets one hit is not going to be a good game. Jesús Sánchez had our hit, a double. That and Davis Schneider’s walk, gave us two base runners on the day. Whoops make that three base runners, Daulton Varsho doubled in the ninth, […]
It was Ernie Clement hockey sweater night in Toronto, and the Sox won 5-0. Sorry to Ernie Clement, but you stink now. Them’s the rules. Ranger Suarez doesn’t. He is good. He is very good! And there was much rejoicing. Three Studs Ranger Suarez This was an incredible performance. Eight innings, no runs, one walk, […]
We get the Red Sox, with their new manager, for however long he lasts, for the next three games. And, we’ve had the post on Max Scherzer, we won’t have him to kick around (more like other teams won’t have him to kick around) for at least the next 15 days. I wonder if he’d […]
