Today marks Dave Lemanczyk’s 76th birthday. Dave was a starting pitcher for the Blue Jays during their inaugural season. He started the second game in franchise history, recording the team’s first-ever loss. He was a solid pitcher, selected from the Detroit Tigers in the Expansion Draft. The draft itself was something of a sucker’s bet; […]
Did I win ANYONE?! Source
From both an odds and an on-field product standpoint, there are six teams that look like a lock to reach the postseason here in mid-August.
The Blue Jays followed Arizona State lefty Cole Carlon all spring and were ecstatic that he fell to them at the 39th overall pick. The post Blue Jays Happily Draft Cole Carlon Late In First Round appeared first on College Baseball, MLB Draft, Prospects - Baseball America .
Twelve. That’s the number of Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers who are off the mound due to injury. The rotation was supposed to be one of the franchise’s biggest strengths. Instead, they are hitting one roadblock after the other. And Justin Wrobleski just became the latest addition to their injury woes. But one analyst pointed out […] The post “This Unfortunately Happens”: Dodgers Analyst Gives Reality Check on Embarrassing Streak Concerning Starters appeared first on EssentiallySports .
The Yankees beat the Blue Jays 4-3 as Ryan Weathers...
The Sunday afternoon finale between the Yankees and Blue Jays included more spectacular pitching from a Yankee starter, inadequate hitting from the lineup, and unwanted late drama. Ryan Weathers continued to be nigh-untouchable force, allowing one run over 7.1 innings. The Yankee offense in turn continued to scuffle, grabbing a pair of runs in the […]
Seven teams are fighting for the final spot in the AL Wild Card standings. The Tigers have an edge over the Guardians and Blue Jays for now, but that could change quickly.
This is game #126. And it is an early game, but I’m out for a while. I might be back before game time, but I might not, so this is the GameThread if I don’t get back in time. I played singles tennis this morning, I don’t do that very often, but won. It is […]
Two of the three least productive offenses in baseball walk into a ballpark. One of these offenses has the backing of the league’s best pitching staff. Who wins? The answer may shock you! In a style once again reminiscent of the 2025 ALDS, the Yankees have allowed the Blue Jays to dance circles around them […]

Saturday day was a day that ends in “Y,” so that mean the Yankees’ offense didn’t produce much. Just like Friday, the Blue Jays held the fake Bronx Bombers to just one run, scoring only a bit more than that themselves to take the victory. The Yankees themselves put in a frustrating performance, but could […]
The Mariners have claimed right-hander Troy Watson off waivers from the Tigers. Watson fills the empty spot on Seattle’s 40-man roster. He has been assigned to the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers. Watson, 29, was a late-round draft pick by the Blue Jays in 2018. Toronto sent him to Detroit for cash considerations during the 2024 campaign, […]
With the Philadelphia Phillies facing the Toronto Blue Jays in the series finale on Sunday afternoon, the game featured a relieving moment for star slugger Kyle Schwarber. As Schwarber has been in an unfortunate home run drought with the Phillies, that was snapped thanks to Blue Jays pitcher Shane Bieber. In the bottom of the […] The post Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber finally ends 2nd-longest HR drought of career appeared first on ClutchPoints .
I’m playing tennis tomorrow morning, so putting together the Game Thread after our Saturday night win. I should be able to finish tennis, shower and get up to the bar in time for first pitch. I was a non-drinker in my younger days. Maybe an occasional glass of wine, but beer didn’t interest me until […]
PHILADELPHIA — Chase Shugart might have gotten out of the 10th unscathed if not for a misplay at first base by Alec Bohm. Instead, he allowed a run, and the Phillies did not beat the Blue Jays when they scored in the bottom of half of the inning. The right-hander then gave up a two-run, […]
After playing poorly in two straight losses, the Phillies will try to salvage the third game of their Alumni Weekend series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Jesus Luzardo gets the start for the Phillies. The lefty is 10-5 with a 3.36 ERA. The Blue Jays will go with Shane Bieber. The former All-Star is 3-2 […]
Max Scherzer was already a future Hall of Famer before this incredible feat.
For at least one night, Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer rolled back the years en route to climbing the all-time strikeouts list.
The Phillies played awful baseball on Saturday night. Manager Don Mattingly made questionable decisions, they made poor plays on defense, the offense struggled against a 42-year-old pitcher, and the bullpen broke down. The result was that for the second straight night, they turned a very winnable game into a well-deserved loss to the Blue Jays, […]
Blue Jays 7 Phillies 5 (11 innings) That was a game and a half, as my dad would say. Baseball doesn’t get much better. Max Scherzer was great, thru five innings, and then gave up two solo homers in the sixth, before leaving the game. In all, he allowed 5 hits, 2 earned, 0 walks […]
The Toronto Blue Jays came out of the MLB Trade Deadline quiet. But looks like manager John Schneider doesn’t need pitching help. Not with Max Scherzer inching towards history on the mound. Scherzer threw his way into top 10 league history during the fourth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies. He tossed strikeout No. 3,516, placing […] The post Max Scherzer takes impressive step towards all-time strikeout record appeared first on ClutchPoints .
PHILADELPHIA — Phillies starter Aaron Nola tried to tough it out after taking a line drive that came off the bat of Toronto’s Jesús Sánchez at 104.8 mph to the right knee, ricocheting off his left ankle. He crouched behind the mound. He tried to walk it off. But after a few warmup pitches that […]
