Embed from Getty Images When things aren’t going well, sometimes all you need is for the 2016 Minnesota Twins to show up to remind you that you’re not actually a terrible baseball team. That must have been a lightbulb moment for the Blue Jays, who were clearly in some kind of negative groove in which…
Embed from Getty Images These last two games have been painful. Like, especially painful, which is a good reminder for any of us who were getting rattled by one-run losses, last minute rallies that were promptly handed right back in extras, or the idea of watching a good pitching but bad hitting team navigate their…
It’s all-out war between Odor and Bautista. pic.twitter.com/5gyqcX8efz — Ian Hunter (@BlueJayHunter) May 15, 2016 Now THAT was the meltdown we were all expecting to see between the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers as the bad blood from the American League Division Series clearly boiled over into this season. After six pretty chill, low-key games…
Embed from Getty Images This team is such a tease. For the second time in under a week, the Blue Jays have rallied back at the last moment to send a game to extra innings before ultimately letting it slip between their fingers. Fortunately, this one didn’t feature a walk off, four pitch walk, but…
Embed from Getty Images The frustrating start to Brett Cecil’s 2016 season hit another road bump this morning, as the lefty will go on the 15-day disabled list due to a left triceps strain suffered in last night’s loss in Texas. The two-thirds of an inning he threw last night against the Rangers was his…
Embed from Getty Images In his last few starts, R.A. Dickey has been solid, but he didn’t have anything to show for it. Last weekend against the Dodgers, Dickey tossed 7.0 innings and gave up four runs, just two of them earned thanks to some ugly fielding behind him, resulting in a loss. The time…
Embed from Getty Images In what appeared to be the most winnable of the three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend, the Blue Jays’ bats struggled, and their relievers failed to protect the one-run lead that they managed to claw their way to in the late innings. It’s easy to look at this…
Our special #MothersDay uniforms for today’s game ? pic.twitter.com/7ZE0ZTCjTp — Toronto Blue Jays (@BlueJays) May 8, 2016 The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers will square off today in the rubber match of this three-game series, but more importantly, it’s Mother’s Day, and if you can, you should spend some time with your mom (or another important…
Embed from Getty Images Between 2011 and 2014, Clayton Kershaw won every National League Cy Young Award — except for one. In 2012, knuckleballer R.A. Dickey took home the award after his excellent season with the Mets, in which he went 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA and 230 strikeouts, getting in the way of what…
Embed from Getty Images It’s getting to a point where it’s difficult to brush games like this off with “it’s early.” I mean, yeah, it is early, there’s no denying that. But after a month of baseball, this team is massively underperforming in a variety of different areas, struggling to stay above water, and there…
Embed from Getty Images Okay, I certainly hope I’m not jinxing anything here, but based off of the way things have gone for him this season, seeing Chris Archer’s name on the lineup card today isn’t inducing the same sense of worry as it usually does. Of course, this is still Chris Archer we’re talking…
Embed from Getty Images When the Jays announced on Friday that they were going to be calling up Drew Hutchison from Triple-A Buffalo for a spot start on Sunday, I immediately (jokingly) thought it was all part of a clever plan to get the frustratingly limp bats working. I mean, Hutch managed to earn a…
