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. […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Recap: Blue Jays 3, Rangers 1; Smoak Bombs Rangers Twice
The Rangers/Jays series thus far has been a low-scoring affair, something no one would have predicted given the history between these two teams. Though for most of the game it was looking like it was going to be another heartbreaking loss for the Jays, they tied it up late in the ninth and walked it off […]
Recap: Rangers 2, Blue Jays 1; Dyson Makes No New Fans, Stops Toronto Rally Short
The Toronto Blue Jays opened a four game series on Monday night in a rematch with their 2015 ALDS opponent Texas Rangers. The last time these two met one of the most bizarre and dramatic seventh innings occurred in baseball history, culminating in the famous Jose Bautista “Bat Flip”. Starting for Texas was A.J. Griffin, who has […]
Recap: Rays 4, Blue Jays 3; Jays Lose in Eerily Familiar Way
J.A. Happ and Chris Archer went toe to toe in the early innings, but the Blue Jays bullpen couldn’t keep the Rays from untying the game. Jose Bautista opened the scoring with a two-run home run off of an unusually wild Chris Archer in the third inning. A seventh inning home run by Kevin Pillar, […]
Recap: Blue Jays 6, Rays 1; The Good Aaron Sanchez is Back
The Toronto Blue Jays opened a three game series against the Tampa Bay Rays Friday night in St. Petersburg. This is already the second trip in 2016 to the “House of Horrors” for the Blue Jays. The last time they split a four game series at Tropicana Field but missed an opportunity to sweep the […]
Maybe It’s Time for a Blue Jays Managerial Shake Up
I’ve defended John Gibbons for a while. I’m of the opinion that some managers are bad at their jobs, some are extraordinary, but most are just there – not having a huge impact on their teams either way. Until this season, I’ve put Gibbons into that last category. He did some things well, and some things poorly, but they seemed […]
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. […]
