Embed from Getty Images In my mind, this is the best time of the year. The weather is nice, everybody seems generally more pleasant, and we can go outside and enjoy the sun as it stays up well into the evening. Of course, we don’t actually have to go outside, especially considering the quality and…
Embed from Getty Images Well, the relievers didn’t cough up a lead in the late innings this time. So, that’s something, right? After dropping four in a row, the Blue Jays will turn to Marco Estrada, who’s set to make his first start since signing a two-year $26 million contract last winter, as they try to…
Embed from Getty Images Last night looked like it was going to be one of those #ComeTogether moments. The crowd was insane, probably the loudest and most intense one for a Home Opener at Rogers Centre that I can remember. When Josh Donaldson hit that Grand Slam off Joe Kelly in the fourth inning, it…
Embed from Getty Images Well, here we go. Opening Day is here. Are you ready? Are you ready for perhaps the most highly anticipated Blue jays season in years? Are you ready to get as amped up for games as Marcus Stroman does whenever somebody records an out or hits a home run? Are you ready…
Embed from Getty Images Opening Day is here! Obviously that’s exciting, but this year, it feels different than it normally does. Usually, Blue Jays fans are accustomed to a long winter, not only because we live in Canada, but because we started looking forward to next year in July. But last season, rather than sliding…
Embed from Getty Images Here we are. Just one final exhibition game before the Blue Jays travel south to Florida for Opening Day. 52,682 people were packed into Montreal’s Olympic Stadium to get their annual two-day fix of baseball, showing the league’s front office how badly they would love another swing with the Expos back…
Embed from Getty Images I think the countdown is officially on. Well, it’s been on for me since, like, the beginning of November (yeah, I took a couple of week to decompress before I started scrolling through my calendar and counting days), but we can start our official Opening Day countdown today as the Blue Jays…
Embed from Getty Images It’s Easter weekend, so you know that baseball is right around the corner now. The Blue Jays, led by J.A. Happ will take on the Yankees and Bryan Mitchell today in Dunedin for the final televised Grapefruit game of the spring. After this, the next two televised games will be Friday…
Embed from Getty Images The last time we watched Marco Estrada pitch was Wednesday, October 21, 2015. With the Jays on the brink of elimination down 3-1 in the American League Championship Series to the Royals, Estrada tossed a gem of a game, going seven-and-two-thirds allowing just one run on three hits and one walk. Given…
Embed from Getty Images Man, I hate it when this happens. You sit around at work all week, grinding through stuff, and you see the light at the end of the tunnel. And that light, which was watching Gavin Floyd throw four or five innings against the Philadelphia Phillies, was eaten alive in a mid-spring Florida…
Embed from Getty Images Yesterday, Aaron Sanchez did his best to prove that he deserves to break camp as a member of the Blue Jays’ starting rotation, and today, Gavin Floyd will try to do the same against the Phillies. And the game is on TV! EDIT: Actually…. Unfortunately, there won’t be any Jays baseball…
Embed from Getty Images Well, that wasn’t very fun. Just as I started going on about difficult it is to temper expectations on this club as they dominate Grapefruit ball, they slam their faces into the wall and lose 8-5 to the Philadelphia Phillies. Oh well, these are exhibition games, after all. Does very-unlikely-to-make-the-opening-night-roster Brad…
