Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about two significant MLB debuts on NBC’s “Star-Spangled Sunday” (by Eddy Yean and Eliezer Alfonzo), the fallout from the Marlins pulling Eury Pérez mid-perfecto, a rare fog delay, the All-Star Game rosters (featuring a very normal number of Blue Jays, and also Rob Manfred’s good buddy Bryce Harper), whether […]

I’m going to be away from the computer all day, hopefully back for game time tonight. I say hopefully, but the way they are playing I’m not sure that’s the right word. So let’s have an open thread to pass the day away. Normal rules, can talk on anything Jays related or not Jays related. […]
It hasn’t been the season the Toronto Blue Jays envisioned. Just one year removed from winning the American League pennant and reaching the World Series, they sit six games below .500 coming out of Fourth of July weekend. Still, all hope is not lost.

For just the second time in the last week and a half, Yankees fans got to wake up in the morning knowing that their team hadn’t embarrassed them in some grotesque manner the night before. Cam Schlittler was an ace! Ben Rice was an All-Star as well! And of course there was a surprise contributor […]
Jays 1 Giants 10 I don’t know…. At least in the past we were able to make the easy defensive plays. But tonight, we couldn’t even do that. Andrés Giménez made an error. Kazuma Okamoto made an official, had another that should have been an error and made a lousy play on a throw into […]
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Toronto Blue Jays to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Blue Jays will be right-handed former-and-Forever-Giant Kevin Gausman, who enters tonight’s game with a 4.19 ERA, 3.80 FIP, with 100 strikeouts to 24 walks in 101 innings pitched.

It just feels right for Cristopher Sánchez to start in the MLB All-Star Game in front of local Philadelphia fans — but he'll need some weather-related luck.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is skipping next week’s All-Star Game, and that is probably best for everyone. Yet, he's just the beginning of the Blue Jays offensive struggles.
I just can’t wait until the end of the season to do the final analysis of the San Francisco Giants/Farhan Zaidi opting not to sign Kevin Gausman to an extension after the 2021 season. With the trade deadline less than a month away now and Robbie Ray almost certainly on the move, it’s begging to […]

However, they also saw some of their best performers in 2025 sign with different organizations in the same offseason. Players like Chris […] The post Is There a Path Back to the Blue Jays For Bo Bichette? appeared first on Just Baseball .

Mariners 4, Blue Jays 0 Cool side of the pillow: Emerson Hancock, .33 WPA Hot side of the fridge: Colt Emerson, -.05 WPA Game thread comment of the day: Same, bestie
Game #90. It really can’t be as bad as yesterday’s game, right? Trey Yesavage is having a good season. But then Emerson Hancock isn’t terrible either. I can’t imagine naming someone Emerson. But then I don’t have much imagination. Today’s lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS MARINERS Nathan Lukes – RF J.P. Crawford – 3B Vladimir […]
