Recap: Rays 6, Blue Jays 3; Dickey Joins the Bats in Struggling Against Tampa Bay
After giving up 25 runs in the first two games of the series, the Blue Jays sent R.A Dickey to the mound to try to contain the Tampa Bay hitters. The Blue Jays tried to salvage the series without Josh Donaldson, who was given the night off, despite the fact that the offense is only […]
This Week in Blue Jays: Why It’s Ok to Worry
“I work hard not to draw any conclusions until 40 games in. Everything is amplified, magnified early in the season, just because of the number of games you’ve played.

Recap: White Sox 10, Blue Jays 1; Good Baseball Not on Sale at the Rogers Centre
On Tuesday night at the Rogers Centre, two pitchers beginning their respective seasons in polar opposite manners took to the mound. White Sox starter Chris Sale came into the game with a 1.80 ERA in four starts, having allowed only one earned run in his last two starts, or 16 innings pitched. Blue Jays starter R.A. […]
