Roster moves R Us.
We haven’t done one of these Question Time things for a few days, but lets try this one? Who of the Jays minor leaguers has impressed you the most this spring? I’m going to pick Brandon Valenzuela. He’s hitting the ball well, 7 for 23 with a home run and I’ve liked his glove behind […]
I’m not going to pretend to be impartial: GO DR GO DR is in tough against starting pitcher Paul Skenes. Luis Severino starts for DR. DR has their lineup out. USA’s lineup:
There has been a lot of baseball lately. I’m not in middle season baseball watching shape yet. Today’s lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS METS George Springer – DH Francisco Lindor – SS Daulton Varsho – CF Marcus Semien – 2B Davis Schneider – 2B Bo Bichette – 3B Addison Barger – 3B Jorge Polanco – […]
There isn’t a lot for Blue Jays’ news this morning. The team has announced that Kevin Gausman will be our opening day starter. So far he’s thrown 4.1 innings of ‘official spring’ ball so fair. He hasn’t allowed a run, with four hits, one walk and six strikeouts. Last year he had a 3.59 ERA […]
Tigers 6 Blue Jays 1 Another great start from Max Scherzer. He went 4.2 scoreless innings, 2 hits, 2 walks and 5 strikeouts. He threw 65 pitches. It looks like he’s already ready for the regular season. Two start and no earned runs against. Other pitchers: Batters, starters: Others: Jays are 8-11 on the spring. […]
Sorry this was scheduled to go up and it didn’t. The Jays play the Tigers today, in Dunedin. Tarik Skubal and Max Scherzer are the starting pitchers I’m putting this together Friday Night, so I don’t have the starting lineup. Also Puerto Rico is playing Italy at 3:00 Eastern. Seth Lugo starts for PR. Sam […]
We have two quarter final WBC games today. 6:30 PM: Korea vs. Dominican Republic Hyun Jim Ryu, who you might remember, starts for Korea. Cristopher Sánchez for DR. Vlad is in the cleanup spot. 8:00 PM: USA vs. Canada. Logan Webb starts for the US. Mike Soroka for Canada.
Twins 1 Blue Jays 6 A win. Cody Ponce had troubles finding the strike zone, but he didn’t give up a run. He gave up 4 walks and 2 hits, with 2 strikeouts. He came out of the game with 2 out in the second inning and then came back in to get the first […]
I guess we’ve found out why José Berríos wasn’t allowed to pitch in the WBC. The team is saying he’s heading to Texas to talk to Dr. Keith Meister about ‘right elbow inflammation. We hadn’t been told that there was an issue. He was scratched from his start against the Phillies. This is one of […]
The Jays are playing the Phillies today. The game is free on MLB tv. I don’t see that it is on Sportsnet. Lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS PHILLIES George Springer – DH Trea Turner – SS Davis Schneider – LF Brandon Marsh – RF Tyler Heineman – C Alec Bohm – 1B Daulton Varsho – […]
Trey Yesavage is a 22-year-old, right-handed pitcher. He was our first round draft pick (20th overall) in 2024. Trey got a $4,177,500 signing bonus (I’m trying to figure out how many beers I can get at the club at happy hour with 4.2 million, but let’s just say a lot. Of course, I would have […]
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 […]
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 – […]
Canada plays Cuba this afternoon. Both teams are 2-1. Cal Quantrill starts for Canada (showing my age, I typed Paul at first). Livan Moinelo starts for Cuba. Canada needs the win to go on to the next round, and Cuba would go home. If Cuba wins they go on to the next round, with Puerto […]
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. […]
There are three games tonight:
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
The Jays play two games today. Both starting at 1:00 Eastern which….well I don’t know what time that is in various places in Canada since the clocks have changed in at least some of Canada. So where ever you are in Canada, there are two game today (or two games a week from Thursday depending […]
There are a whole mess of WBC. One game is already finished, Japan beat Australia 4-3. That seems way to close for a game between Japan and Australia. Australia walked 12 batters but only gave up 5 hits with a Masataka Yoshida home run being one of them. Kazuma Okamoto was 0 for 2 with […]
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 […]
