Latest blog entries from Toronto teams across every league
Did you stay up to watch the end of Game 3? Quite a number of you did, the comment count in Monday’s game thread might have been the most for any non-Cubs game thread in BCB history. The Dodgers and Blue Jays are likely to be pretty exhausted after the 18 innings of Game 3. […]
LOS ANGELES — Game 3 was so chock full of nuggets that the 18-inning marathon remained the talk of the day on Tuesday ahead of Game 4 of Dodgers vs. Blue Jays. Shohei Ohtani reached base all nine times he was up on Monday, including four intentional walks, a strategy Blue Jays manager John Schneider […]
No Springer in today’s lineup. The Jays say that he is ‘hour to hour’. Bo Bichette DHes today. Bo DHing means he won’t come out of the game for a defensive replacement, but they still might pinch run for him, if the need comes up. Lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS DODGERS Nathan Lukes – LF […]
Whew. After last night’s marathon 18-inning contest between the Blue Jays and Dodgers saw Los Angeles pull out the walk-off win, the two teams have a quick turn around as they get set to play again just hours later in Game 4 of the World Series. The Blue Jays, losers of one of the longest […]
After their record-setting, instantly-ensconced in baseball lore marathon Game 3 that took place last night, the Dodgers and Blue Jays are right back to it tonight for Game 4. Shohei Ohtani is poised to embellish his legend by pitching in a World Series, the first two-way player to do so since Babe Ruth in Game […]
The Blue Jays are at it again.
I mean to add out JoD’s from last night to a post today, and then forgot: Jays of the Day: Other Award:
William Nylander returns to the lineup as the Maple Leafs hope to take care of business against the 32nd-placed, 2-7-1 Calgary Flames (6:00 p.m. EST, TSN4). Game Day Quotes Nick Robertson on John Tavares closing in on 500 career goals: We are kind of looking for him extra out there. When Auston was going for […] The post Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Calgary Flames – Game #10 Projected Lines, Preview & TV Info appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays is reigniting the biggest debate in baseball: the payroll gap. With the richest and fifth-richest teams squaring off in the Fall Classic, many MLB owners and some analysts will argue that the 2025 World Series is more evidence supporting the need for a salary cap. Before […]
One of the things I try to watch out for, in myself as a fan/commentator is to try remember there are things I don’t know. I remember reading Bill James’ Baseball Abstracts, all those years ago, and I remember him saying ‘I’m just getting to the point where I’m finding out all that I don’t […]
Ahead of Tuesday’s game against Calgary, Craig Berube discussed Max Domi’s struggles to start the season, the marathon Game 3 of the World Series, the McMann-Matthews-Robertson line, and the challenge against the Flames. How late did you stick with extra innings in Game 3 of the World Series? You’ve had to rally your team after […] The post Craig Berube on the message to Nick Robertson & Bobby McMann on the Matthews line: “Don’t change who you are as a player because you are playing with Aus...
There’s a reason Dave Dombrowski said what he said. When Dombrowski spoke to reporters last week following another disappointing, early-round playoff defeat by the Phillies and questioned whether Bryce Harper would be able to return to the previous “elite” level of play he enjoyed during his first six seasons in Philadelphia, it wasn’t done out […]
Moral victories are much better when an actual victory comes along with it. A day after blowing a 26-point lead to the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday afternoon, it looked like the San Antonio Spurs may be heading for another blown 20+ point lead against the Toronto Raptors. The Silver and Black were able to pull […]
At a casino, once up, the term ‘playing with house money’ comes into play. Most believe the term originated in faro games in the west, where players were encouraged through early wins (often rigged) by the dealers to stay in, playing betting their winnings so they could get into their full funds. With the odds […]
Note the start time.
I’ll talk more about the game later. Everyone’s complaining about the lineup moves. The only one I really disagreed with was take Barger out. The others? Taking Kirk out was the right move, we needed someone who could run and giving his knees time off wasn’t a bad thing. And getting Bo out, for defense, […]
Throughout the 2025 season, many Phillies fans mourned the absence of reliever Jeff Hoffman, who departed to the Blue Jays as a free agent. But the Phillies didn’t go Hoffmanless in 2025, as they (very briefly) had reliever Nolan Hoffman on the roster. If this name isn’t ringing a bell, that’s not surprising, as Hoffman […]

The Mavericks were 1-3 this past week and sit at 14th place in the West. They got beat by San Antonio (125-92) in the home opener and followed that up with a loss to Washington (117-107). They got on the board with a win against Toronto (139-129), but a late comeback fell short, and they […]
After such a promising start, John Gruden was left frustrated following the Toronto Marlies’ second loss of the weekend. The Marlies allowed three unanswered goals to erase a 2-0 lead after an elongated break due to an evacuation of the rink. They took far too many penalties, blew a late lead in the third, and […] The post Toronto Marlies let pair of leads slip in eventful shootout loss to Belleville appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Blue Jays - 000 400 100 000 000 000 - 5 15 0 Dodgers - 011 020 100 000 000 001 - 6 16 2 For the second time this postseason, baseball fans – and more casual postseason observers who do not obsess over the game from the moment the gates of spring training camps are unlocked in mid-February – have been treated to an extraordinary, unforgettable game that simply would not have occurred if the most radical of the rule changes imposed on the game during Commissioner Rob Manfred's tenure...
Good morning. Like six hours after former Texas Rangers World Series starting pitcher Max Scherzer exited his Game 3 start last night for the Toronto Blue Jays, the Los Angeles Dodgers earned a walk-off win in 18 innings to take a 2-1 series lead in this year’s Fall Classic. Notably, Shohei Ohtani had his second […]
Who’s got two thumbs and is using one of them to thumb through the standings to see the San Antonio Spurs atop the conference (nay, the league) alongside the defending champion Oklahoma Thunder? Sure, it’s only four games, but if you revel in taking joy from a man who doesn’t know what 67 or “no […]
After a couple of opposing games to open up the 2025 Fall Classic, the Dodgers and Blue Jays found themselves knotted up in a 1-1 tie. Despite the nature of this World Series’ first two games, Game 3 would be a nailbiter all the way through. There were no pinch-hit grand slams or complete games, […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The World Series continues tonight with Game 4 between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers from Dodger Stadium. Taking the mound for the Blue Jays will be right-hander Shane Bieber, who finished the regular season with a 3.57 ERA, 4.47 FIP, with 37 strikeouts to seven walks in […]
