Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
We might as well make it two in a row against the Rays. Getting 10 runs again would be a good thing too. Half a game out of a wild card spot seems unbelievable considering where we were at the start of the month. Vlad is going to play a rehab game tomorrow in Dunedin. […]
The Jays made a roster move: I’m thinking that Waldron clears waivers and stays with the team, but we won’t know that for a few days. He’s had a rough time in 4 outings with the Jays, putting up a 10.38 ERA in 4.1 innings, with 7 hits, 2 walks and 3 strikeouts. I think, […]
The Blue Jays announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander Brendan Cellucci. Right-hander Matt Waldron has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. Waldron, 29, was just claimed off waivers from the Padres two weeks ago. He tossed 4 1/3 innings for the Jays, allowing five earned runs. The Jays have decided […]
The Blue Jays moved on from a 29-year-old after only four appearances
Today marks the 58th birthday of former Blue Jays pitcher Woody Williams. I’ll admit, I often confuse Woody Williams with Chris Carpenter. Both left the Blue Jays and eventually landed in St. Louis—Williams with a stop in San Diego along the way. They each found greater success with the Cardinals (though Carpenter excelled even more), […]
Carlos Rodón looked about as good as you could have expected in his first big league game back from an almost two-month injury absence, limiting the Orioles to a run on two hits and two walks in four innings. Trent Grisham continued his recent red-hot streak with a homer and a two-run single to drive […]
Heading into the Toronto Blue Jays series, the Nationals were 54-52 and only one game back of a Wild Card spot. They were coming off a thrilling series win against a fellow playoff hopeful in the D-Backs. However, things have come off the rails since then with trades, injuries and position changes causing the season […]
The Yankees finally managed to score more than one run with a 4-3 extra innings victory in the series finale over the Blue Jays to avoid the sweep. In scoring just two runs in regulation, they were in danger of making 11 games out of 16 in which they scored two or fewer runs. That […]
Good morning Birdland, Those two days where the Orioles held a playoff spot were pretty cool, huh? We will remember them fondly. The team has dropped back to one game out of the final wild card spot after their 3-1 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday night. The Rangers, Twins, Blue Jays, and Guardians all […]
Blue Jays 10 Rays 5 A win at Tropicana. I always think I’m more likely to find a $20 bill on the ground than to see the Jays win at that House of Horrors. The Jays, very democratically, scored two runs in each of five innings: We had 17 hits (let me double check, maybe […]
The Rays lost another blowout tonight, one in their starter could not complete four innings and the subsequent relievers didn’t offer much relief. Nick Martinez….I don’t know, I love the guy for so many reasons, but after his amazing first couple of months, it seems like every three, maybe even two outings is a clunker. […]
Last weekend, the Yankees’ and Blue Jays’ hitters tried their best to help their respective aces gain some ground in the AL Cy Young race. Neither side had much luck. On Saturday, Cam Schlittler held Toronto to one run in 5 1/3 innings, striking out seven. The next day, it was Dylan Cease’s turn to dominate. […]
I hate games at Tropicana, but here we are. There was a little bit of Jays news. Lenyn Sosa was taken off the 60-day DL outrighted to Buffalo. Maybe Trey will be back this season: And Spencer Arrighetti might be able to make it back this year. Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS RAYS Brett Bateman – […]
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is having the worst year of his career, with a meager seven home runs and a .693 […]
Jays make a roster decision amid surge up the AL standings.
The Blue Jays announced that infielder Lenyn Sosa has cleared outright waivers and been assigned to Triple-A Buffalo. He had been on the major league 60-day injured list but the club put him on waivers instead of adding him back to the active roster. Sosa, 26, was acquired from the White Sox in April. He […]
So far this month, the Jays are 10-6 with a 2.87 ERA, easily the best month our pitchers have had this year. Hot Dylan Cease: 3 starts, 0-0, 2.45 ERA. In 18.1 innings, batters hit .158/.236/.274, with 2 home runs, 8 walks and 27 strikeouts. Also opponents stole 14 bases in those 18.1, with 2 […]
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continues to be one of the Toronto Blue Jays' biggest offensive concerns amid an extended midseason slump, hitting a new low during Toronto's recent series loss to the rival New York Yankees. Fresh off a World Series appearance last fall, the Toronto Blue Jays find themselves in a vastly different reality this season. Sitting at 61-65 and buried at the bottom of the American League East standings, Toronto’s rapid decline has been spearheaded by a baffling power outage f...
Have you noticed something recently during Saturdays at Fenway Park? After Wilyer Abreu hit a thunderous homer to right field to send the Fenway Faithful into a tizzy….while wearing the yellow City Connect jerseys…..the Red Sox have gone back to basics during their Saturday home games. July 25 against the Blue Jays? Home whites. August […]
The Jays are 10-6 so far this month. The batters are hitting .235/.298/.335, averaging 3.7 runs per game. Hot Alejandro Kirk: Played in 14 games, starting 12. Hit .378/.455/.533 with 1 double, 2 home run, 10 RBI, 8 walks and 5 strikeouts. He’s been pretty amazing. Add in that he’s 66% on challenges (catchers average […]
After saving a crucial American League East series against the Toronto Blue Jays from a sweep in extra innings on Sunday, the Yankees will stay in their division and on the road. They head to Baltimore to face the Orioles, a team that is coming off a series win against the AL East-leading Tampa Bay […]
PHILADELPHIA — When Christopher Sanchez took the mound in early June against the Toronto Blue Jays, he had the enviable […]
The Blue Jays outrighted right-hander Lazaro Estrada to Triple-A Buffalo, the club announced. Toronto designated him for assignment over the weekend when they needed a 40-man roster spot to bring up Daz Cameron. Estrada is a 27-year-old who has played an up-and-down middle relief role for the last couple seasons. He has a near-7.00 earned run average […]
Ryan Weathers carried on his improved form this weekend by dominating the Blue Jays lineup in what turned out to be a Yankees win in extras. Weathers has found superior results by adjusting his arsenal to minimize the damage he allows and maximize his potential. And those changes are so meaningful that they warrant multiple […]
It has been a while since we’ve had an off-day. The Jays haven’t had an off-day since July 30th. At that time we were 5.5 games back of the Wild Card spot, with six teams to jump. Now they are just one game back, with two teams to jump over. That turnaround in 17 games […]
