Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
We’re a little more than a quarter of the way into what’s shaping up to be a profoundly disappointing season for the Blue Jays. I want to dig a bit into each of the guys who’s on the roster and has received significant playing time this year to figure out what’s going on and whether […]
Death, taxes, and the Tampa Bay Rays defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in the year 2026. Drake’s 15th project, Iceman, is set to debut May 15, and Shane McClanahan sure had Blue Jays bats frozen Tuesday evening in “The 6ix”, as McClanahan went five innings, allowing only one hit and one walk while striking out […]
Jays are facing a tough pitcher tonight. Hopefully they will be able to get some hits off him. But Patrick Corbin has been pretty good too. Tonight’s lineups: Today’s Lineups RAYS BLUE JAYS Yandy Diaz – DH George Springer – DH Jonathan Aranda – 1B Myles Straw – RF Junior Caminero – 3B Vladimir Guerrero […]
There isn’t much for news today. Jake Bloss pitched for the first time this year, after UCL surgery a year ago. He threw 2.1 innings, with four strikeouts. He allowed 2 hits, with no walks and no runs, pitching in the FCL. We could use him now, but it will be late June before he’ll […]
With his 4th inning strikeout of Hunter Feduccia last night, Kevin Gausman became the 91st pitcher in major league history to record 2,000 strikeouts (and finished the night in 90th place given that Andy Benes had 2,000 on the nose). Gausman is just the 10th among those 91 to have played for the Blue Jays […]
Josh Phelps turns 48 today. Phelps was once considered one of the Blue Jays’ catchers of the future—except, as it turned out, he wasn’t a catcher for long. Before the 2002 season, Josh was ranked #36 on Baseball America’s top 100 prospects. He tore up the minors. In 2001, he hit .292/.406/.562 with 31 home […]
Rays 8 Blue Jays 5 Generally, if one player drives in five runs, his team wins. But not today. Andrés Giménez homered in the first (three run shot) and the seventh (two runs), but we also gave up a bunch of runs. Things went bad for Kevin Gausman right from the start. Chandler Simpson bounced […]
So a day with actual Jays’ news. Barger to IL, Lauer to anywhere else. Pinango back and Yariel back on the 40-man and the 26-man all at the same time. Today’s lineup: Today’s Lineups RAYS BLUE JAYS Chandler Simpson – LF George Springer – DH Junior Caminero – 3B Yohendrick Pinango – LF Jonathan Aranda […]
This morning, our head Tom reported that Yariel Rodriguez was coming up and speculated that Eric Lauer might be the roster casualty. He was right, as Lauer caught a DFA this morning and his roster spot has gone to Rodriguez. It’s been a rough season for Lauer. As Tom noted, his velocity is down. for […]
Yariel Rodriguez will be with the team for tonight’s game. The team had an open spot on the 40-man roster, but there is no word on how they will free up a spot on the active roster. Rodriguez has thrown 13.2 innings, with 9 walks, 25 strikeouts and 7 hits, with a 2.63 ERA. I’m […]
Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford scored much more than the game-winning goal for FC Barcelona today. Nine minutes in, Rashford achieved a scoring strike that proved to be the decisive blow for the La Liga title race. Ferran Torres added another goal, nine minutes in, and Barcelona beat Real Madrid, at the Camp Nou, to […] The post Marcus Rashford Discusses Potential Barcelona Future After Title Clincher appeared first on The Sports Bank .
In the latest episode of Dbacks Dispatch, the Diamondbacks finally offered something for us all to look forward to discussing with co-workers this Monday morning. After a long stretch of frustration since the Blue Jays visited Chase Field, the team took two of three games from the New York Mets. The atmosphere around the club […]
Angels 6 Blue Jays 1 Well that was awful. The Jays got a run in the first and then didn’t get another base runner until the eighth. They did load the bases in the eighth, but Vlad ground out softly to third to end the chance We had five hits on the day. Daulton Varsho […]
You know…… Baseball isn’t always a good thing. It didn’t even twig on me that Addison Barger’s 100+ mph throw from right field may not have been the smartest move from a fellow just off the IL. And it should have. There should have been a big flashing warning sign. There should have been an […]
For the second day in a row, the Yankees played a somewhat frustrating game in Milwaukee. They did better offensively on Saturday, but the three runs didn’t end up being enough, as the Brewers rallied twice before walking it off in the 10th inning. With the Yankees facing a speed bump after a hot run […]
Angels 1 Blue Jays 14 The only inning that really mattered was the fifth. The Jays scored seven runs in the bottom of the inning and that was more than enough. But the Jays added six more runs in the seventh and eighth. Trey Yesavage was good enough, for four innings. He allowed four hits, […]
Well, this one surprised me. We knew Addison Barger was going to be activated today, but we didn’t know who would be going to Buffalo to make room. Davis Schneider? Lenyn Sosa? Nope. Yohendrick Piñango. The one hitting .423/.444/.462. I get that he has options and all, and we know Piñango wasn’t going to continue […]
Happy Friday. The Jays are back home for a series against the Angels. It almost can’t be worse than the last series. I think the team has let Tropicana Field get into their heads. Maybe all the batters should move back in the batter’s box: Petriello talks about it here. There is talk about having […]
The Jays don’t play today, so I figured we’d do the open thread today. There isn’t all that much for Jays news, as we wait to hear who leaves to make room for Addison Barger. It will be interesting, I’m not sure who I’d pick. Since Barger is a left-handed batter, a lefty batter would […]
Very recently, I wrote an article here talking about the opportunity presented to the Yankees in 2026, competing for the top spot in an American League that lacked standout clubs. Some of their potential biggest adversaries were dealing with more than their fair share of issues in the Blue Jays and Mariners. Since then, the […]
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 […]
Los Angeles Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow records his 1,000th career strikeout by fanning Yordan Alvarez in a start against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park.
Blue Jays 0 Rays 3 I said in the thread: The thing I like about baseball, is the team can be going bad, the game can be going bad, but there are still just amazing plays to watch. I have been a Jays fan pretty much since the first series. There have been a lot […]
Last of three in Tampa. If they light a match on the way out, I will not shed a tear. I hate afternoon weekday games, it messes up the day. There are some updates: Today’s lineup: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS RAYS George Springer – DH Yandy Diaz – DH Kazuma Okamoto – 3B Ryan Vilade […]
87 hitters have taken 100 PA so far in AA leagues so far this season. The best batting line among them belongs to the Blue Jays’ 2024 fourth round draft pick, Sean Keys. Keys played his college ball at Bucknell, putting up ridiculous numbers against pretty pedestrian Patriot League competition. He popped a bit with […]
