Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
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 […]
Hey look, Roman Anthony’s back! That’s nice. The Sox are in Canada for the first time this year to take on the Blue Jays tonight at 7 p.m. Here’s who’s playin’ behind Ranger Suarez: As for the World Series American League Champions, Dylan Cease leads the Blue Jays on what I understand to be Ernie […]
The Jays have placed Max Scherzer on the IL with forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation, backdated to his last start. Chase Lee has been called up and will be available tonight. Lee has been, well, interesting for the Bisons. A 1.32 ERA in 9 appearances, 13.2 innings (maybe we can use him for more […]
Former Jay first baseman Willie Upshaw turns 69 today. Willie Upshaw was a rarity, a successful Rule 5 draft pick. We took him from the Yankees in 1978, who had drafted him in the 5th round in 1975. He quickly moved up through the minor leagues, but the Yankees had Chris Chambliss, who left after […]
Well that sure was a weekend. Back-to-back wins. Scoring 17 in 1 game. A Caleb Durbin home run. The coaching shuffle. Alex Cora out, Chad Tracy in. And now the Red Sox are off to Toronto to play the Blue Jays in a Battle of AL East Disappointments. The Jays realized their rotation wasn’t quite […]
Guardians 2 Blue Jays 4 It didn’t come particularly easily but the Jays win their second in a row. We only had 6 hits on the day, but they were grouped nicely. We scored: Sánchez had a big day with three of our four RBI. And Vlad had a good day, 3 for 4, with […]
Game two of this series. Another win would be nice. And it would also be nice if Yohendrick Pinango does so well that the Jays can’t bring themselves to send him back to the minors. The lineup is interesting. Today’s Lineups GUARDIANS BLUE JAYS Steven Kwan – CF Ernie Clement – SS Angel Martinez – […]
Happy Sunday. I thought I was over the jet lag, when I slept great on Friday night, then last night I couldn’t sleep at all. Anyway, today we have our first look at Yohendrick Pinango. I remember, back in my school days, the teach would have to say Yohendrick Pi, so that the 12 other […]
Guardians 3 Blue Jays 5 It seemed like the Kazuma Okamoto show. He was 2 for 3 with a homer, walk, 2 RBI and a number of nice plays at third. The home run, like yesterday’s was crushed to dead center, 425 feet, 108.9 mph. Just a terrific day for him. But Kevin Gausman was […]
So there was a bit of Jays news today, check out the posts, but the short of it: I feel bad for Lukes, battling through vertigo, finally starting to hit the way we’d expect and then this. That’s the thing about the game, we don’t know what the players are going through at anytime. Sometimes […]
The Texas Rangers have traded catcher Willie MacIver to the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations, the team announced yesterday. MacIver was claimed on waivers by the Rangers from the A’s at the end of the 2025 season. The 29 year old had been originally drafted by the Colorado Rockies out of the University of […]
They couldn’t have announce this before I hit publish on the last post? Trey Yesavage will make Tuesday’s start for the Jays, against the Red Sox. That doesn’t quite lineup with Max Scherzer’s next start, which would be Wednesday if the rotation stayed the same. Whoops, now I see that Eric Lauer is being moved […]
I guess the headline says it, Nathan Lukes hits the IL with a left hamstring strain. Yohendrick Piñango gets the call up. Yimi Garcia was moved to the 60-day IL to make room for Yohendrick. Piñango is hitting .288/.370/.488 with 3 home runs in 22 games. He is a left-handed batter and also throws left-handed. […]
Guardians 8 Blue Jays 6 I really hated them signing Max Scherzer again this season (even if it was cute that his daughter wrote to the Jays to plea for them to sign him). I didn’t think Scherzer had much left last year, I couldn’t imagine he’d be any better this year. So far, I’m […]
There were some bits of Jays news while I was out: Tonight’s lineups: Today’s Lineups GUARDIANS BLUE JAYS Daniel Schneemann – 2B Nathan Lukes – RF Chase DeLauter – RF Ernie Clement – 2B Jose Ramirez – 3B Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Kyle Manzardo – 1B Jesus Sanchez – LF Rhys Hoskins – DH Lenyn […]
