Wednesday Bantering: Jays Notes

When you have several days between the ALCS and the start of the World Series, surprisingly enough there isn’t much for news. The Dodgers have announced their starters for games one and two: Blake Snell (5-4, 2.35) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (12-8, 2.49). Arden Zwelling has a thread on Twitter talking about the ‘third time seen’ […]

The Short Porch is looking at an all-time performance from Shohei Ohtani

We’re two days away from the first game of the 2025 World Series between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays. The best-of-seven series will open in Toronto Friday night. As we wait for the first pitch, the baseball world is still buzzing about the Shohei Ohtani’s Game Four performance against the Brewers. The two-way player […]

Apathy while the country dances

I got a lot of texts like this on Monday night: For all the talk about hockey, Canada comes alive when the Blue Jays are doing well. Bolstered by being the only team that’s broadcast across the country, not unlike the way TBS made the Atlanta Braves a nationwide brand in the 90s, 40 million-odd […]

WS Blues: Dark Blue David Takes On Light Blue Goliath

And then there were two. Unsurprisingly the Los Angeles Dodgers are representing the National League and from a near flatline pulse the Toronto Blue Jays marooned the Mariners en route to their first World Series appearance since 1993. Pundits have quickly dismissed the series as a formality in which the Dodgers will female dog slap […]

World Series preview: Dodgers face toughest test yet in Blue Jays

George Springer’s three-run shot in Game 7 of the ALCS propelled the Blue Jays into a World Series matchup with the Dodgers, making this the fourth time since the start of 2018 that Los Angeles will face an AL East club in the Fall Classic. It’s fitting that, although under very different circumstances, both sides […]

Who are you rooting for in the World Series?

The pennants have been captured, and the Fall Classic awaits. Adding insult to injury, the Series not only fails to feature our Phillies, but instead includes two clubs who are not particularly fondly remembered in the City of Brotherly Love: the Blue Jays, whose last title in 1993 came at the hands of Joe Carter […]

Mets Morning News: World Series countdown

Meet the Mets Andy Martino discussed why current postseason hero George Springer is a Blue Jay and not a New York Met. Danny Abriano broke down the Mets’ payroll situation heading into the offseason ahead of free agency. Around the National League East MLB Pipeline took a look at three Phillies prospects who could help […]

One Year Ago: Jays Hire Popkins as Hitting Coach

One year ago today, the Jays hired David Popkins as their new hitting coach. At the end of the post about the signing, I wrote “Hopefully, he’ll find a way to get our guys scoring more.” Well, he did. In 2024, the Jays hit .241/.313/.389, scoring 4.14 runs per game. In 2025, the Jays hit […]

Tuesday Bantering: Jays Notes

I don’t know about any of you, but I’ve talked more people about the Blue Jays today than ever in my life. I were my Jays’ jersey (my signed by Brett Lawrie one) and every person wanted to talk about yesterday’s game. Even small children wanted to talk about it. Sportsnet tell us that it […]

Dear Tim (again)

Hey Tim, Last time I wrote* was to exalt. Today it’s in desolation. Mariners baseball, huh? Last night, your Seattle Mariners lost Game 7 of the ALCS to the Toronto Blue Jays. I refuse to get into bullpen management discourse with you again, but suffice to say that it was a heartbreaker. That’s kind of […]

Kevin Gausman, Paul Gervase to Face-off in 2025 World Series

No matter the outcome, a former LSU Tiger will be a World Series champion. The only question will be is the winner pitching for the Dodgers or Blue Jays. Former LSU pitchers Kevin Gausman and Paul Gervase will have the opportunity to be the LSU Baseball program’s 19th former Tiger to win a World Series […]

It’s time to move past the 2017 Astros sign-stealing scandal

Halfway through Game 7 of the American League Championship Series between the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays, I finally, finally got the chance to sit down and watch some baseball. At the time, Seattle led. But I didn’t care who wound up winning—I’d be rooting for the winner of this game in the World […]

What did you think of Dan Wilson’s decision last night?

The ALCS came to a close last night with the Blue Jays ending up the victors. They are returning to their first World Series in nearly 40 years thanks to their winning over the Mariners, 4-3.

OTM Open Thread 10/21: The Stage is set

Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation! Last night, the Blue Jays defeated the Mariners to set up a World Series matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Unfortunately, the series doesn’t start until Friday, so we’ve got three days with no baseball until the Fall Classic kicks off. Personally, I’ll be rooting for everyone to have a […]
