Recap: Rays 9, Blue Jays 2; Everything Goes Wrong in Ugly Loss to Tampa
Marco Estrada has been stellar this season. I’d be comfortable saying he hasn’t had one game where he has been truly terrible. Until tonight. It just wasn’t working for him. The final line doesn’t look too bad. Five innings pitched while only giving up three runs is fine. However, the process to get to those numbers […]
A Primer for Playoff Scoreboard Watching in 2016
Many fans have to fight the urge to watch the out of town scoreboard in the midst of a close race, especially earlier in the season. Baseball season is long enough that trying to keep track of rival scores often turns out to be more trouble than it’s worth, but as the calendar turns and […]
Recap: Royals 4, Blue Jays 2; Royals Rake on Sanchez
With his spot in the new six-man rotation solidified, Aaron Sanchez took the hill tonight against the Royals to try and keep the Jays undefeated against the Royals in 2016. But before he stepped over the white line tonight, he had a 1-0 lead courtesy of Devon Travis, who hit the Jays’ 16th straight solo […]
Recap: Blue Jays 4, Royals 3; Travis Goes Yard Twice as Jays Hold On For Victory
The Blue Jays’ most important trade acquisition, Francisco Liriano, made his debut tonight. Both the Jays and Liriano, who is in the midst of a below-career-average year, hope his reunion with his former Pirates teammate Russell Martin will rejuvenate his flailing season. A lead-off home run by Devon Travis gave the Jays an early lead, but […]
Recap: Blue Jays 4, Astros 1; If You’re Happ-Y and You Know It Win Fifteen
Toronto and Houston wrapped up their four game series on Thursday night at Minute Maid Park with another low scoring affair. The Blue Jays sent left-hander J.A. Happ to the mound to face Houston righty Mike Fiers. Similar to the other games in this series it would be the starters who dominated. Fiers went six innings, […]
Recap: Blue Jays 3, Astros 1: Solo Shots Enough to Back Estrada’s Wobbly Back
The Toronto Blue Jays entered tonight’s game 13 games above .500 and just one game back of the division-leading Orioles, sending Marco Estrada to the mound to face Houston’s Collin McHugh. The concern entering the game was Estrada’s recurring back pain, which was clearly an issue for him in his previous two starts. Estrada, however, appeared […]
Blue Jays Showing Financial Flex
Amid all the deadline hysteria and the excitement of following a team that briefly reached first place this past week, people can be forgiven if they’ve forgotten the somber mood that was so prevalent among the Blue Jays fanbase this past offseason. Coming off a year that saw the GM make two huge splashes at the […]
What Could Have Been: A Look at Alternate Blue Jays Realities
It’s August 2, 2016. The Blue Jays are languishing in fourth place in the American League East, 17 games behind the division leading Boston Red Sox, who have been pile-driving opponents since the acquisition of David Price in the off-season. Adding insult to injury, they also have Edwin Encarnacion, who the Jays recently traded to […]
Blue Jays Acquire SP Francisco Liriano from Pittsburgh Pirates
After a couple of seemingly innocuous, if useful depth moves, the Blue Jays have acquired a legitimate front of the rotation type of arm. As first reported by Robert Murray, the Blue Jays have picked up Francisco Liriano and two prospects (via Davidi) from the Pittsburgh Pirates: Source: Blue Jays get Liriano from Pirates — Robert […]
