It is an 8:00 Easter start time. Just win Jays. The good news is George Springer is playing. Hopefully he’ll be able to swing the bat and run the bases. I wouldn’t look for any stolen bases. But a home run or two would be a good thing. Tonight’s lineup: And, of course, Trey Yesavage […]

Jose Bautista turns 45 today. From 2008 to 2017, those years would have been so much different without Jost. He gave us so many great moments over the years, but of course, the best was the home run and bat flip in Game 5. When we traded for him in August of 2008, the trade […]

I always wonder what I would have done. I think, I would have brought Hoffman in and tell him “you have six outs to get, I’m not going to take you out no matter what. This is why you are here.” The worry would have been that he has given up a lot of home […]

Jays 2 Mariners 6 So that eighth inning was the only one that mattered. Brendon Little came in. People don’t like him but he’s been good this season. Cal Raleigh hit one that just cleared the left field wall. 348 feet homer in 14/32 parks. Four feet less would have been nice. Little gave up […]

The Mariners made changes to their lineup, which I would do too. Arozarena moves down, Rodriguez moves up. I’ve always liked the idea of putting Vlad at the top of our order, and this is much the same for the Mariners. IKF is back in there. I’m half surprised that Gimenez isn’t batting cleanup. Today’s […]

Happy Friday. We have an earlier start time today, 6:00 Eastern. The Brewers and Dodgers start at 8:30 Eastern. One of the talking heads on TV this morning, said, that “Momentum is a real thing in playoff baseball.” I’m thinking ‘didn’t the Mariners win the first two games of the series in a very convincing […]

Blue Jays 8 Mariners 2 I don’t think we can say enough about how great Max Scherzer was. He gave up a Josh Naylor home run in the second. He ended up going 5.2 innings, allowing three hits, four walks, with five strikeouts. The second run against him scored after he left the game, and […]

That was far more pleasant than the first couple of games of this series. The story of the first two games was that, though the Jays didn’t strikeout much, they weren’t hitting the ball hard. Yesterday there were a lot of hard hit balls by the Jays: 14 balls hit at over 100 mph. It […]
