It’s been a crazy few months for the Blue Jays. The team was supposed to possess an otherworldly offense, but instead, for a long time, the hitters were nowhere to be found, and the Blue Jays survived on a starting rotation that finished the first half of the season with the best earned run average among […]

Recap: Tigers 3, Blue Jays 2; Sanchez Struggles, Streak Stopped at Seven
Aaron Sanchez against Matt Boyd seemed like a slam dunk, but that’s why they play the games.

Recap: Blue Jays 4, Royals 2; Bring Out The Brooms!
That was one heck of a ballgame and it concluded in the best possible outcome, a sweep of the Kansas City Royals.

Last week, I wrote an article outlining the reasons why Aaron Sanchez should remain a starter for the duration of the season.

Ezequiel Carrera Deserves to Be a Full-Time Outfielder
The latest update on Jose Bautista’s injury wasn’t good. As the Toronto Sun put it, “Injured Jose Bautista not close to returning to Blue Jays“. For the most part, that’s not a good thing, but there has been one bright spot: Ezequiel Carrera. As the regular right fielder, he’s performed rather well, and now has […]
Recap: Blue Jays 17, Cleveland 1; Bats Explode Behind Dominant Happ
The Blue Jays and the team from Cleveland have played a lot of stressful baseball this weekend thanks to Friday’s 19 inning affair and close games on Thursday and Saturday.

Recap: Cleveland 2, Blue Jays 1; Jays Lose 19 Inning Canada Day Heartbreaker
The Canada Day game in Toronto is usually a fantastic affair that has little to do with the outcome of the baseball game.
