Here are the lineups, let’s discuss! For the Phillies: For the Blue Jays:
Blue Jays 1 Yankees 8 That didn’t go well. Eric Lauer didn’t have a good time of it. He went 3.1 allowing 4 hits, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts, a home run, and 4 earned. His spring ERA is 8.64. I know spring doesn’t really matter for him, he’s going to make the team, but it […]
The Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night in Tampa behind a big performance from Giancarlo Stanton, who launched two home runs and drove in three runs as New York continued its spring slate with an 8-1 victory. The game turned quickly in the third inning when the Yankees’ offense came to life. […]
Jays @ Yankees is starting now. Lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS YANKEES Myles Straw – CF Trent Grisham – CF Nathan Lukes – DH Randal Grichuk – LF Jesus Sanchez – RF Cody Bellinger – 1B Eloy Jimenez – LF Giancarlo Stanton – DH Brandon Valenzuela – C Jazz Chisholm – 2B Rafael Lantigua – […]
Spring training rolls on tonight as the Yankees host the Blue Jays at George M. Steinbrenner Field. The Yankees send Cam Schlittler to the bump for his second appearance of the spring. Schlittler was brilliant in his first outing after being delayed by back inflammation and a lat issue, striking out four batters in 2.1 […]
Daulton Varsho is a 29-year-old, left handed hitting, center fielder. The Jays picked him up in a trade with the Diamondbacks, in December 2022, for Lourdes Gurriel and Gabriel Moreno when they were trying to remake the team. I don’t know that we were extremely excited about the trade. Daulton didn’t have the best year […]
I’m putting the open thread up today, because the Jays don’t play until the evening and there is nothing pressing as far as Jays news. I have a couple of things I want to write about, but they will take awhile. Jose Berrios wanted to play for Puerto Rico but can’t because of insurance issues. […]
Competitions for those last roster spots are intriguing and compelling. Who will be at 3B on March 27th when the A’s visit the Blue Jays? Who will round out the bench and which relievers will break camp with the big league club? As the March to the 27th fast approaches, fans are atwitter (or is […]
The Atlanta Braves dropped Tuesday’s spring contest against the Toronto Blue Jays, 7-0. The bats were quiet, with Atlanta recording just six hits. More so than the bats, pitching was a struggle. JR Ritchie made his first start of the spring and went four innings. He gave up two runs on a single hit. He […]
Braves 0 Blue Jays 7 Nice to see the Jays score some. Early in spring we didn’t seem to be able to score. Dylan Cease was really good. 3 innings, 2 hits, and 3 strikeouts. Reached 97.5 mph on the fastball. Other pitchers: Offense, Starters: Others: The Jays are 7-8 on the spring now. Tomorrow […]
After an off-day, the Jays are back at it, hosting the Braves. I’m putting this together Monday night, so I don’t have the lineups. But the Jays have Dylan Cease making his second spring start. I’d guess they would want 3-4 innings out of him. The Braves are starting JR Ritchie, who pitched in the […]
We’re back with Tuesday Spring Training to go alongside your dose of the WBC. Seattle native JR Ritchie will be entering his third game and first start with the Braves after being invited as a non-roster prospect during this Spring Training series. This is an open opportunity for him, especially after the news that LHP […]
His name is no longer just Will Klein. It will now forever be linked with the moniker World Series Hero Will Klein. In the marathon game that was Game 3 of the 2025 World Series, it was Klein that kept the Dodgers tied with the Toronto Blue Jays. He gave everything he had, going four […]
There are six WBC games today, which is nice because there are no Blue Jays games. The games: I think the Mexico/USA game is the one I’m most interested it.
Louis Varland is a 28-year-old, right-handed reliever. He was a 15th round draft pick by the Twins, in 2019. Louis has one option year left. He will likely be arbitration eligible after this season (Super 2) and he would be free agent eligible after the 2030 season. He could be a Blue Jay for a […]
Scottsdale, Ariz. — Matt Buschmann, like many coaches, is new to the Colorado Rockies in 2026. He came to the Rockies after working for both the Toronto Blue Jays and San Francisco Giants, and has been making his mark on the team right out of the gate. “I learned a ton [in my previous positions],” […]
Two games, two wins. Blue Jays 1 Orioles 0 Cody Ponce had a nice time against the Orioles today. He threw 3 no-hit innings, no walks with 1 strikeout. I was impressed. Other pitchers: Hitters, starters: Others: Tigers 0 Blue Jays 5 Kevin Gausman looked good too. 3.1 innings, 3 hits and 3 strikeouts. Hitters, […]

Two weeks remain until the Orioles head north from Sarasota. At least for the next few days, nicer weather up in Birdland makes it feel like spring here rather than a lingering winter. That’s nice. Also nice is that today’s game will be aired on MASN and on the Orioles flagship radio stations in Baltimore. […]
Hello, friends. There are now 18 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. From now through March 23 will be near-daily exhibitions where hopefully nobody will get injured and everybody will get ready to fill the role they are needed to fill this season. This afternoon, they’ll play the Blue Jays at 1:05 in a game […]
Jays 1 Phillies 0 The best part of this one was that Max Scherzer started and threw 4 no-hit innings, allowing just 1 walk with 1 strikeouts. He was helped out by some defensive play, but he got through the four innings on just 40 pitches (29 strikeouts). Max was terrific. I didn’t think he’d […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Blue Jays: Let’s talk about it.
The Jays make the short drive to Clearwater to play the Phillies. We get out first look Max Scherzer this spring. He says he’ll be ready for opening day. I didn’t expect that he would be in the rotation to start the season. I think the odds of him being able to give us 30 […]
Brandon Valenzuela is a 25-year-old switch-hitting catcher born in Hermosillo, Mexico (he has a good role model as a Mexican-born catcher in Kirk). The Blue Jays picked him up from the Padres in trade for Will Wagner. MLB.com has Valenzuela as #24 on their Jays top 30 prospect list. He was added to the Jays’ […]
Pirates 2 Blue Jays 9 Not that it really matters, but it is nice to have a win. José Berríos wasn’t great but only allowed 2 earned, with 5 hits, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts and a home run. His ERA is now 3.38 on the spring. Normally, I’d say his spring training numbers don’t matter, […]
