Is this hell? No, this is Tropicana Field. That might be what the Toronto Blue Jays think of The Trop. Since 2021, the Jays have a .655 OPS and a 10-22 record under the tilted roof at One Tropicana Drive, and losers of 10 of the last 12. Even the Blue Jays, biggest podcast, Gate […]
For a minute there in the top of the second when the Good Guys got on the board first, it felt like they might actually take the series. Then the bottom of the second inning happened, and poof, the vibes from the past couple of weeks packed up and left the building. Chicago dropped the […]

Here’s a bit of news you did not want to hear: And here’s how that injury happened: So. This very likely ends Boyd’s season. For now I’d guess Javier Assad will take that rotation spot and that Jed Hoyer will accelerate a search to trade for a starter. Obviously, more to come as this is […]
