The Blue Jays won a close game late…again? It got a little too close for comfort in the end, as the Dodgers loaded the bases in the top of the 9th, but the Jays held them off. It’s funny how things change. For the first month of the season, the Blue Jays hardly ever scored […]

Battle of the Boys in Blue: Dodgers Series Preview
Toronto Blue Jays vs. Los Angeles Dodges May 6th – May 8th Written by Eric Mercer and Gideon Turk Things have certainly turned around for the Blue Jays since being swept by the White Sox a week ago. They have won back to back series, taking two of three from the Rays and three of four from the Rangers. […]
Blue Jays Rotation Review: Holding Five Aces
Since they say starting pitching wins championships, each time through the rotation we’re going to break down each individual start to see what the pitchers did well and what they didn’t, with an attempt to go a little bit deeper than just the box score. You can read all past Rotation Reviews here. Sadly there […]
Recap: Blue Jays 12, Rangers 2; Jays Pummel the Rangers to Pull Back to .500
The Blue Jays certainly needed a game like this. No questions asked. It didn’t start the way the team would have liked, however. J.A. Happ gave up a single to Prince Fielder, which scored Adrian Beltre after the latter had advanced to second on a wild pitch. That was the extent of the damage in […]
The 9 Best Blue Jays One Year Wonders
I pretend, at times, to be a musician. Over the years, a staple of my sets for any gig I’ll play has become a tune written and recorded by a band of brothers in 1997. It’s a catchy little ditty that went number one in 27 countries. I’m speaking, of course, of Hanson’s MMMBop. The […]
Artificial Turf Wars Ep. 10: Jonah Keri and Wish Lists for Winning Streaks
Jonah Keri of Sports Illustrated, CBS, and Sportsnet stops by to talk about writing for a living, analytics on the Blue Jays broadcast, and fighting the steroid stigma. The boys also discuss booing Brett Cecil, the recent walkoff wins, Drew Storen’s resurgence, 8-man bullpens, and the brewing position battle between Ryan Goins and Darwin Barney. […]
Recap: Blue Jays 4, Rangers 3; Walk-Offs Are so Nice They Did It Twice
For the second night in a row, the Blue Jays walked it off to win the game against the Texas Rangers. Aaron Sanchez got off to a rough start, giving up three straight hits to lead off the game, resulting in a 2-0 Rangers lead before the Blue Jays even had a turn to bat. The […]
What’s Wrong with Brett Cecil?
To put it nicely, Brett Cecil has had a rough start to 2016. Coming off of an absolutely dominant second half in 2015, Toronto Blue Jays’ fans were probably expecting something better from their elite left-handed reliever. Instead, he’s been downright pedestrian. Through the second half of 2015, Cecil’s OPS-against was .326. This season, Cecil’s OBP-against […]
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 […]
How Fantex is Hurting Front Offices and Helping Players
Last week, Fantex Holdings announced that they had purchased ten percent of the future earnings of five major league baseball players (in addition to four golfers and one football player): Maikel Franco, Jonathan Schoop, Collin McHugh, Yangervis Solarte, and Tyler Duffey. This news didn’t exactly send shockwaves through the baseball world, as most of these […]
