Well, the Blue Jays are playing some good baseball again. Aaron Sanchez was phenomenal, going six and two thirds while giving up no runs on seven hits and two walks and striking out six. The offense was silent early on, but scored seven runs in the fifth through seventh innings on the strength of 12 hits. […]

Recap: Blue Jays 8, Yankees 4; Canadian Tandem Power Toronto to Victory
On Wednesday night, Marco Estrada threw six very good innings, giving up only one run. Then, the 32-year-old hit a rough patch in the seventh inning, allowing back to back home runs to Chase Headley and Didi Gregorius. Thankfully they were both solo shots, so the damage was extremely limited, and it didn’t impact the Blue […]

Recap: Yankees 6, Blue Jays 0; Bats Forget to Do Their Job
Tuesday night was not the night for the Blue Jays. After a four game weekend set that saw them net three wins against the lowly Minnesota Twins, the team came out flat to begin their series against the Yankees. R.A.

UPDATE: Blue Jays option INF Matt Dominguez, Recall LHP Chad Girodo
UPDATE: Heading into the series against the LA Dodgers, the Blue Jays have made the right move, selecting the contract of Andy Burns and optioning Ryan Tepera. This leaves them with a true utility player who can hit lefties, and a proper seven-man bullpen with two left-handed pitchers. Look for Burns to get some time in […]
Maybe It’s Time for a Blue Jays Managerial Shake Up
I’ve defended John Gibbons for a while. I’m of the opinion that some managers are bad at their jobs, some are extraordinary, but most are just there – not having a huge impact on their teams either way. Until this season, I’ve put Gibbons into that last category. He did some things well, and some things poorly, but they seemed […]

Recap: Orioles 3, Blue Jays 2; The Offense Took the Early Flight Home
What a terrible series and game for the Blue Jays. Things started out looking great, with a 1-0 lead after the first two batters of the game. However, the Blue Jays wound up only scoring two runs in the first inning, and did nothing after that. As easy as it is to blame John Gibbons for […]
