Recap: Blue Jays 12, Yankees 6; Rain Forgotten as Jays Bats Bring The Thunder

by Dave Church August 16, 2016

Tonight’s game between the Jays and the Yankees started with rain looming, and for once it wasn’t referring to Josh Donaldson home runs. After an early outburst of power from the home side, the game was interrupted by rain, with the Jays down a bunch of runs and the offense seeming listless again. The change in […]

Breaking Down the Blue Jays’ Offense

by Dave Church August 16, 2016

The 2015 Blue Jays had a dominant offence, no matter what measurement you used. They led the league in runs scored, as well as on-base percentage AND slugging percentage. They scored nearly a full run more per game than the next best offensive team: the total difference between them and the second-best offense, the New […]

by Jenn Smith August 14, 2016

A half-game up in the AL East standings, the Toronto Blue Jays took to the field today looking for a series win against the Houston Astros, with Marcus Stroman taking the mound against Mike Fiers. The Jays played a little small-ball early, when a lead-off double by Devon Travis came around to score after a […]

Recap: Blue Jays 4, Astros 2; Martin Mashes To Tie Up The Series

by Eric Mercer August 13, 2016

On a thunderous day in Toronto, the Rogers Centre crowd were treated to few fireworks- until the 6th inning, when Russell Martin stepped up to the plate. The Jays outlook went from bleak to bright after Martin crushed a full count, two out offering from reliever James Hoyt to dead centre, scoring three. Prior to that, […]

Jason Grilli is Passionate About Winning in Toronto

by Evan Peaslee August 12, 2016

TORONTO – If you’ve ever seen Jason Grilli pitch then you know he thrives on emotion. The bigger the moment, the greater the pressure, the higher the intensity, the more he likes it. Having spent the majority of the past three seasons as a closer, compiling 69 saves in 78 chances, it should come as […]

How Jason Grilli Turned His Season Around and Stabilized the Blue Jays Bullpen

by Gideon Turk August 11, 2016

Relievers are volatile. Incredibly volatile. So when the Blue Jays acquired Jason Grilli from the Atlanta Braves on on May 31st, the team and their fans were optimistic that despite his rough start to 2016, the Grilli of years past would be the one to show up north of the border. At the time of the […]

Centre Field is Open; Dalton Pompey is Nowhere to Be Found

by Matt Gwin August 11, 2016

Hi, I’m Matt. You may know me from “Dalton Pompey Unjustly Demoted to AAA“, in addition to a host of other pieces in which I’ve advocated for Pompey’s placement on the Blue Jays’ 25-man roster. As you may be able to tell, I’m a bit of a Pompey fan. I’d like to think that it’s […]

Jose Bautista To 15-Day DL; Junior Lake Called Up

by Dave Church August 10, 2016

In last night’s game, Jose Bautista seemed to trip after retrieving a ball in the outfield, in a play that seemed innocent save for the frustrating miscue by Joey Bats (and second baseman Devon Travis). Well, in the words of Anchorman’s Ron Burgundy, that escalated quickly: #BlueJays awaiting results of MRI on Jose Bautista's left […]
