Andrés Giménez Homers Twice, Jays Still Lose

Andrés Giménez Homers Twice, Jays Still Lose

Rays 8 Blue Jays 5 Generally, if one play drives in five runs, his team wins. But not today. Andrés Giménez homered in the first (three run shot) and the seventh (two runs), but we also gave up a bunch of runs. Things went bad for Kevin Gausman right from the start. Chandler Simpson bounced […]

Addison Barger Out Of Lineup With Elbow Soreness

Addison Barger Out Of Lineup With Elbow Soreness

You know…… Baseball isn’t always a good thing. It didn’t even twig on me that Addison Barger’s 100+ mph throw from right field may not have been the smartest move from a fellow just off the IL. And it should have. There should have been a big flashing warning sign. There should have been an […]

Game #39 GameThread: Angels @ Jays

Building on a one-game winning streak. And Addison Barger is back (with Piñango the casualty). It was a weird spot….we are hip deep in lefty hitters, but then picking someone who isn’t hitting at all, just because he swings from the right side seems silly.

No Hitting and a Lauer Blow Up, Jays Lose To Angels

No Hitting and a Lauer Blow Up, Jays Lose To Angels

Angels 6 Blue Jays 1 Well that was awful. The Jays got a run in the first and then didn’t get another base runner until the eighth. They did load the bases in the eighth, but Vlad ground out softly to third to end the chance We had five hits on the day. Daulton Varsho […]

Game #40 GameThread: Angels @ Jays

Passing the quarter post on the racetrack of the season. And Addison Barger, is out of the lineup with a ‘sore elbow’. That was an amazing throw, but maybe not the best move in his first day back. Addison was to lead off today, but now it is Ernie Clement. I’m a fan of lead […]

Bobby Cox passed away yesterday, just a few days short of his 85th birthday. Cox became our third manager after Roy Hartsfield and Bobby Mattick.

Jays Crush Angels

Jays Crush Angels

Angels 1 Blue Jays 14 The only inning that really mattered was the fifth. The Jays scored seven runs in the bottom of the inning and that was more than enough. But the Jays added six more runs in the seventh and eighth. Trey Yesavage was good enough, for four innings. He allowed four hits, […]

Cease Dominant, Jays Win 2-0

Cease Dominant, Jays Win 2-0

Well, it wasn’t exactly the offensive explosion we’ve been waiting for but they got the win. Dylan Cease was phenomenal, taking the Angels lineup apart for seven innings without ever really getting into trouble. They needed to stop the losing streak, and they did enough tonight to do that. Dylan Cease was exceptional tonight. He […]
