Roster moves R Us.
Mariners 3 Blue Jays 4 That was a terrific series. The Mariners played great. We’ll do a real recap later but…. We had ten hits but other than a run in the first (Springer walked, Vlad singled, and Varsho singled home Springer) we didn’t do much until the seventh inning. In the seventh: We should […]
JUST WIN Marco Estrada throws out the opening pitch. Shane Bieber is the ninth former Cy Young winner to start a Game Seven Arden Zwelling tells us that the ‘most productive pitch’ a Blue Jay has throw this postseason is Bieber’s slider. A 61.1% whiff rate. Lineups: Today’s Lineups MARINERS BLUE JAYS Julio Rodriguez – […]
Game Sevens are special things. This is just the second Game Seven in Jays history (and the less said about the other one the better). There is some news from the Jays: Tonight’s lineups. No changes for the Jays. Today’s Lineups MARINERS BLUE JAYS Julio Rodriguez – CF George Springer – DH Cal Raleigh – […]
Dave Collins turns 73 today. Unfortunately, we don’t have a picture of him in a Jays jersey. Dave (they called him Davey a lot back then. I think if I were a Dave, I’d punch anyone who called me Davey) was with the Blue Jays for two seasons of a 16-year MLB career. How we […]
33 years ago: Devon White made the best catch I’ve ever seen. The Jays won the game, 3-2, taking a 2 to 1 lead in the series. Without that catch, we likely wouldn’t have won the game (two runs would have been scored, and the Braves would have had a runner in scoring position with […]
Mariners 2 Blue Jays 6 Trey Yesavage has been such a great addition to the team. He was exceptional tonight. 5.2 innings, six hits, two earned (one after he left the game), three walks and seventh strikeouts. And he got the pitches when he really needed them. In the third, he loaded the bases on […]
Not much to say. Just win. Lineups. No changes for the Jays. Today’s Lineups MARINERS BLUE JAYS Julio Rodriguez – CF George Springer – DH Cal Raleigh – C Nathan Lukes – LF Jorge Polanco – DH Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Josh Naylor – 1B Alejandro Kirk – C Randy Arozarena – LF Daulton Varsho […]
It is an 8:00 Easter start time. Just win Jays. The good news is George Springer is playing. Hopefully he’ll be able to swing the bat and run the bases. I wouldn’t look for any stolen bases. But a home run or two would be a good thing. Tonight’s lineup: And, of course, Trey Yesavage […]
Jose Bautista turns 45 today. From 2008 to 2017, those years would have been so much different without Jost. He gave us so many great moments over the years, but of course, the best was the home run and bat flip in Game 5. When we traded for him in August of 2008, the trade […]
I always wonder what I would have done. I think, I would have brought Hoffman in and tell him “you have six outs to get, I’m not going to take you out no matter what. This is why you are here.” The worry would have been that he has given up a lot of home […]
Jays 2 Mariners 6 So that eighth inning was the only one that mattered. Brendon Little came in. People don’t like him but he’s been good this season. Cal Raleigh hit one that just cleared the left field wall. 348 feet homer in 14/32 parks. Four feet less would have been nice. Little gave up […]
A win would be nice. Lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS MARINERS George Springer – DH Julio Rodriguez – CF Nathan Lukes – LF Cal Raleigh – C Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Jorge Polanco – DH Alejandro Kirk – C Josh Naylor – 1B Daulton Varsho – CF Randy Arozarena – LF Ernie Clement – 3B […]
The Mariners made changes to their lineup, which I would do too. Arozarena moves down, Rodriguez moves up. I’ve always liked the idea of putting Vlad at the top of our order, and this is much the same for the Mariners. IKF is back in there. I’m half surprised that Gimenez isn’t batting cleanup. Today’s […]
Happy Friday. We have an earlier start time today, 6:00 Eastern. The Brewers and Dodgers start at 8:30 Eastern. One of the talking heads on TV this morning, said, that “Momentum is a real thing in playoff baseball.” I’m thinking ‘didn’t the Mariners win the first two games of the series in a very convincing […]
Blue Jays 8 Mariners 2 I don’t think we can say enough about how great Max Scherzer was. He gave up a Josh Naylor home run in the second. He ended up going 5.2 innings, allowing three hits, four walks, with five strikeouts. The second run against him scored after he left the game, and […]
Anthony Santander has been dropped from the roster, because of back tightness, Joey Loperfido will be put on the roster when MLB says ok to it all. Today’s lineup: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS MARINERS George Springer – DH Randy Arozarena – LF Nathan Lukes – LF Cal Raleigh – C Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Julio […]
The Dodgers are up 2-0 and have Tyler Glasnow starting. He hasn’t given up a run, in 7.2 innings with 10 strikeouts. Someone name Misiorowski starts for the Brewers Lineups: Today’s Lineups BREWERS DODGERS Jackson Chourio – RF Shohei Ohtani – DH Brice Turang – 2B Mookie Betts – SS William Contreras – C Will […]
That was far more pleasant than the first couple of games of this series. The story of the first two games was that, though the Jays didn’t strikeout much, they weren’t hitting the ball hard. Yesterday there were a lot of hard hit balls by the Jays: 14 balls hit at over 100 mph. It […]
