Brandon Morrow Looking Sharp; Blue Jays Win 5th Spring Game In A Row
It’s official: we’ve got a winning streak on our hands. Sure, it’d be nicer to say if today was say, April 13th and not March; but I’m sure we can all agree that it’s a lot more desirable to be talking about a 5-game winning streak as opposed to a losing one, no matter what [...]
TweetJose Bautista Flexes Muscle With Pair Of Home Runs In Blue Jays Win Over Astros
Did you know Jose Bautista didn’t hit a home run in his first 4 spring games? Crazy, right? Well, the Great 2012 Spring Training Bautista Home Run Drought ended today against the Houston Astros, with the 2011 MLB home run leader slugging not one, but a pair of homers to lead the Blue Jays to [...]
TweetJP Arencibia’s First Spring Hit Leads Blue Jays In Hammering Of Nova, Yankees
You know, even if it is just the 6th practice game for the Blue Jays this spring, and the team playing against a lineup with most of their regulars off, I’m probably lying to myself if I say wins like today’s over the Yankees aren’t satisfying. The players might not be taking themselves all that [...]
TweetBlue Jays Agree To Deal With Outfield Prospect Andres De Aza
It’s likely the case that before you woke up today, you had never heard of Andres De Aza. That’s perfectly understandable, because he was just another baseball prospect from the Dominican Republic.

It was Eric Thames who made the first bit of noise in what is expected to be a tight battle for for Toronto Blue Jays’ LF job, hitting a home run in the teams’ Grapefruit opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

TweetBad News Piles Up For Blue Jays’ Jesse Litsch
Jesse Litsch was told earlier this week that he’d have to rest for at least seven days after being diagnosed with shoulder inflammation by Dr. James Andrews. As a unintended result of that visit, it now looks at though that rest will be last much longer. Call it a case of Murphy’s Law or what [...]
TweetToronto Blue Jays Run Over Pirates In 2012 Grapefruit Debut
Just like that, the 2012 Toronto Blue Jays are undefeated in the spring. Yes, it was just the first game of a largely inconsequential Grapefruit season against the Pittsburgh Pirates, one of the worst teams in the majors…but, better a win than a loss, even if it doesn’t make a difference, right? Right then. The [...]
TweetThe Great Big 2012 Blue Jays Forecast Series: A Review On Offense
Spring training is in full swing in sunny Florida, with the Toronto Blue Jays having played their first intrasquad game today ahead of their first official Grapefruit League game tomorrow.
