Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
We get the first of four against the Yankees today. There were little bits of Jays news this afternoon: Tonight’s lineup is……interesting: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS YANKEES George Springer – DH Paul Goldschmidt – 1B Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Ben Rice – DH Kazuma Okamoto – 3B Aaron Judge – RF Lenyn Sosa – 2B […]
The Yankees return to the Bronx on Monday night looking to stop a frustrating stretch after dropping a series to a last-place team over the weekend in Queens. Despite flashes of offense during the Subway Series, the Yankees once again struggled to put games away. Now, with a four-game series against the reigning American League […]
The Jays start a four-game series with the Yankees at Yankee Stadium tonight. Tonight it is Patrick Corbin (1-1, 3,93) vs. Ryan Weathers (2-2, 3.00). Tuesday: Dylan Cease (3-1, 2.41) vs. Will Warren (5-1, 3.42). Wednesday: Trey Yesavage (1-1, 1.40) vs. Cam Schlittler (6-1, 1.35) Thursday: Bullpen Day, likely with Spencer Myles (1-0, 2.55) doing […]
The Yankees got run out of Queens this weekend, dropping back-to-back contests to the Mets—the latter in particularly ignominious fashion—to lose the Subway Series and their third straight series overall. Adding to their woes is the Rays’ continued success, which leaves them three games back in the divisional road. Now seems like a less-than-ideal time […]
It has been a rough month for the Detroit Tigers, who have just four wins in 15 tries so far in May after dropping two of three to the Toronto Blue Jays in the first leg of their seven-game homestand. The visitors struck early on Sunday, getting a pair of runs in the first and […]
Blue Jays 4 Tigers 1 We got more than two runs. Or actually, we got two runs twice: We only had six hits and one walk on the day. Vlad and Varsho had two each (and all the extra base hits). On the pitching side, Kevin Gausman was great. He went six innings, allowing just […]
The rubber match of a three-game weekend series against the Toronto Blue Jays took place on a sunny, summer-like Sunday afternoon in Detroit. Alas, the Tigers dropped the finale and thus the series by a 4-1 score. Jack Flaherty made his tenth start for the Tigers, and his troubles have been well-documented this season. His […]

Game Three with the Tigers and then the Jays head off for four games in New York against the Yankees. And Adam Macko is up with the team. He told reporters that he rushed around to buy ‘collared shirts’ to wear on the team bus, saying that he only had hoodies. It seems that I’ve […]
Yeah, this is the way this season is going. Tommy Nance has been put on the IL with forearm discomfort. Well, they said ‘right forearm discomfort’….but I figured you guys knew which arm it would be. Nance has pitched in 19 games, 20 innings, 16 hits, 1 home run, 8 walks, 24 strikeouts with a […]
The Yankees were unable to maintain their momentum from the series opener, dropping the middle game by a score of 6-3 to the Mets. Carlos Rodón by his own admission continued to suffer from a lack of command, and the offense couldn’t produce the timely hit when they needed it most. Theirs was a relatively […]
The Detroit Tigers dropped their second extra-inning affair in the last four games on Saturday afternoon with a 2-1 loss in 10 innings at Comerica Park, tying the weekend series. The offense once again failed to show up and the bullpen simply did not have enough in it to hold on until the bats woke […]
Here we go again. The Toronto Blue Jays' pitching staff has taken another big hit. They were forced to start the year without the injured Shane Bieber, Trey Yesavage and Jose Berrios. Soon after, Cody Ponce joined them, but he went down for the entire season. Max Scherzer has since joined them on the injured list as well. Only Yesavage has been able to return. Now, Berrios has gotten some brutal news on his injury, as he'll be forced to go under the knife. Jose Berrios to undergo elbow s...
Casey Mize returned in fine form in this one, but the Detroit Tigers remain hamstrung offensively. The Toronto Blue Jays are having similar issues, but they pulled this one out in the tenth against Tyler Holton, and Louis Varland closed out the Tigers to even the series at a game apiece on Saturday afternoon. Saturday’s […]

Why don’t we score more than two runs? I have stuff on this morning, but should be back to watch the game by the second inning. But I’m putting together the GameThread the night before, so I don’t have the lineups They are saying Mason Fluharty will start and Spencer Miles will be second up. […]
Worcester: L, 2-5 (BOX SCORE) In this bullpen game, every pitcher gave up their share of Buffalo (Blue Jays AAA) runs. The team was bogged down, moreover, by uninspired offense. Despite drawing 8 walks, they hit 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position, had just four batters record a hit, and never held a lead. By […]
The Detroit Tigers snapped a three-game losing streak on Friday night with a 3-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in the first game of the home series this weekend. A strong pitching performance punctuated by a walk-off home run that finally gave the club a win in a close game. On Saturday, AJ Hinch […]
The Tigers came home from New York with their tails between their legs, hoping their fortunes would change with some home-cooking. An unexpected bullpen game (of sorts) with finally some strong pitching, a key stolen base and a well-placed line drive gave the Tigers a 3-2 victory in the opener of a three-game weekend series […]
Well, after a dramatic walk off victory on Wednesday we get a crushing walk off loss. Jeff Hoffman takes the L, but actually wasn’t really bad. The bigger problem was managing just five hits and two walks off a pretty bad bullpen in a game where the expected bulk guy was knocked out after two […]

I’m happy to have a series that’s not against the Rays. And it is on Apple TV. Stupid MLB. I’ve been to Comerica Park once, for one game. We’d gone to Lansing to watch the Lugnuts and the Tigers had a day game, while the Lugnuts were playing in the evening. So there was time […]
Tonight’s game is an Apple TV one, because MLB will sellout to anyone offering a bag of money. Trey Yesavage (1-1, 0.68) goes against Brenan Hanifee (0-0, 1.08, making his second start of the season, with 5 relief appearances). It looks like a cloudy day (or a cloudy weekend) in Detroit. There are a bunch […]
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 […]
