A split squad day that had a loss: Jays 1 Yankees 5 Jose Berrios had a great day. 4 innings, no hits, 2 walks 2 strikeouts. Couldn’t ask for better against most of the Yankee regulars. Other pitchers: Hitters, starters: Others: And a win. In Dunedin, the Jays beat the Phillies. 7 to 5. Dylan […]
There was sort of a “last day of school” feeling to today’s spring training game against the Blue Jays. The Jays sent the B-team, with split squad action facing the Yankees and Phillies, while a number of Yanks are set to leave the team and join their World Baseball Classic sides as that tournament kicks […]
We’re in spring training proper now, with less than a week to go before the World Baseball Classic opens, and players on both of the teams squaring off today will represent their countries. Both the Yankees and the Blue Jays will send multiple participants to the WBC, but in the meantime the two AL East […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Blue Jays: Let’s talk about it.
Jays 5 Rays 6 The Jays are now 1-5 with a tie, this spring. It wasn’t a good day for Eric Lauer. He went 1.2, allowed 3 hits, 3 earned, hit a batter, and gave up 3 earned. It is early, but if he wants a starting rotation spot, he should give up less runs […]
Today’s game isn’t on TV. I planned my day around getting to sit and watch tonight’s game. And it isn’t on TV. I guess I’m going out to shovel snow. It was +9 yesterday. I wore a light sweater. Overnight it snowed, a lot. The joys of living in Calgary. Today’s lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE […]
Jesús Sánchez is a 28-year-old, left-handed hitting, outfielder. The Jays traded Joey Loperfido to the Astros to pick him up. Loperfido will be 27 in May, so there isn’t that much difference in age. Sánchez has played 580 MLB games and has a 4.8 bWAR. Loperfido has played 122 games and has a 1.1 bWAR. […]
Ryan Pepiot takes the hill the today as he makes his first appearance of the Spring. There will be local radio coverage of the game today by the Rays. First pitch against the Toronto Blue Jays is at 1:05 at Charlotte Sports Park Today’s highlight package is from September 14-16, 1999 when the Devil Rays […]
Good morning.
Marlins 8 Blue Jays 7 When I had to leave the Blue Jays had this one well in hand, but they gave up 4 runs in the 8th and 2 more in the 9th and lost. Pitchers: Hitters, Starters: Others: The Jays are now 1 and 4 this spring. It doesn’t look like they going […]
The Jays and Marlins play in Dunedin at 1:00 Eastern today. We have a bunch of regulars in the lineup. It actually could be close to the lineup they would put out against a lefty starter. And Kevin Gausman gets his first time out there this spring. Gausman set a personal record for innings pitched […]
The headline says it all, but the Jays have signed Max Scherzer to a one-year contract. He’ll make $3 million with ‘up to’ $10 million in incentives. He won’t be starting the season with the Jays. I’d imagine the plan will be to get him going in May with the idea he could join the […]
The Jays have a logjam in their outfield this season. Daulton Varsho is locked into centre, and George Springer looks to mostly man DH, but after that things are up in the air.Addison Barger is probably the priority among the other players. He had a strong rookie season last year, and at 26 with many […]
Detroit Tigers vs. Toronto Blue Jays Time/Place: 1:05 p.m., Joker Marchant Stadium – Lakeland, FLSB Nation Site: Bluebird BannerMedia: Tigers Radio Network Lineups BLUE JAYS TIGERS Ernie Clement – 2B Parker Meadows – CF Andres Gimenez – SS Kevin McGonigle – SS Vladimir Guerrero – DH Jahmai Jones – LF Alejandro Kirk – C Riley Greene – […]
Today’s Jays’ game is not on TV, one of the few that aren’t on TV. The game is at Lakeland, Florida in the Tigers’ spring park, Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium which has to be up there on the list of longest ballpark names, as well as getting two sponsor names into it. It […]
Tyler Rogers is a right-handed, submarine style pitcher. He’s 35. The Jays signed him to a three-year, $37 million contract (with a vesting option for a fourth year at $11 million). Signing a 35-year-old reliever for three or four years, generally, would seem like a bad idea, but then Rogers isn’t your average reliever. We […]
Yankees 8 Blue Jays 7 We got to see the ball/strike appeal system, several times. It works great. Very quick. Beyond that, well, the Yankees scored a lot of runs. Jays pitchers: Batters: Starters: Subs: Tomorrow’s game isn’t on TV. Can listen on radio if you really are hard cord. The Jays are now 1-3 […]
Probably the most perplexing move the Yankees made this offseason was the re-signing of Paul Goldschmidt. After a hot start to last year — especially against lefties — he fell away towards the back half of the season. Plus with the emergence of Ben Rice as a legitimate hitter, it seemed like the Yankees didn’t […]
Last year, the Yankees were ousted by the Blue Jays in the ALDS, after having finished second behind them in the AL East on tiebreakers alone. You’d hope that this season they have some revenge on their minds when it comes to Toronto. They probably don’t need to go all out to show it today, […]
I’m going to post this early because I have to run out this morning, but I should be back about game time. We have an early start time: 1:00 pm Eastern. The Jays are making the stressful bus ride from Dunedin to Tampa Bay to play the Yankees at Steinbrenner Field. I found the worst […]
Meet the Mets The Mets topped the defending American League Champion Blue Jays 4-3 to earn their second spring win. Newcomer Tobias Myers earned the win in his first outing with the club after pitching 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Vidal Bruján did leave the game with an injury after stealing second base. Clay Holmes, who […]
The important news is that Kazuma Okamoto homered, a two-run shot. Beyond that, Jose Berrios pitched 2.2 innings, allowing 3 hits, 2 earned, 1 walk with 2 strikeouts. It doesn’t sound great, but he allowed them in his third inning of work. And I think he’s the first Jay to throw more than two innings […]
The birds are singing, the snow is melting, and pitchers are getting hurt. Spring is here. The Jays have already lost Bowden Francis for the season. Shane Bieber is delayed, and now it sounds like Yimi Garcia will be as well. The Jays wisely invested in depth this winter. Cody Ponce was an interesting signing […]
The New York Mets (2-1) defeated the Toronto Blue Jays (1-2) by a score of 4-3 today at TD Bank Park in Dunedin. The Mets play the Astros tomorrow at Clover Park at 1:10pm. The game will be broadcast on SNY.
The Phillies kicked off the start of their season over the weekend with games against the Toronto Blue Jays and Pittsburgh Pirates. Many of the names competing for the final few spots in the bullpen and bench played and look to make good impressions for the rest of camp. The first two games of spring […]
