Jo-Jo Reyes Wins First Game Since ’08 With First Career CG; Blue Jays Rout Indians
He’s finally done it. That in itself would probably have sufficed for the recap of tonight’s game, but Jo-Jo Reyes wasn’t just content with breaking the longest winless streak for a starter in the history of baseball – he was going to end it in style. So Jo-Jo Reyes went out and got himself not [...]
TweetThe Enemy Is Everywhere: Previewing the Blue Jays vs Indians
With the league-leading Indians trotting into the Rogers Centre for the start of a 3 game set, the Blue Jays will set down to face their toughest test yet this season. There was maybe a time where I would say that as a joke, but it’s the end of May now, and they’re still going [...]
TweetAaron Hill, Encarnacion Get First HRs; Blue Jays Crush White Sox
With the bullpen mostly depleted from last night’s ball game, the Blue Jays were surely looking forward to having Ricky Romero, a guy who could be expected to go fairly deep into the ball game, on the mound taking on John Danks and the White Sox. As it turns out, we probably could have sent [...]
TweetCorey Patterson’s Heroics Lead Blue Jays In Marathon Win Over White Sox
By now, we all know about the magic that Blue Jays hitting coach Dwayne Murphy has brought to the team, having turned former journeyman Jose Bautista into the best power hitter in the game; but today, it was another Murphy-journeyman-redemption project that reached new heights, as Corey Patterson had his best game in over 5 [...]
TweetKyle Drabek’s Strong Start Gets Blue Jays Back in Win Column Over White Sox
Just one day after hitting the proverbial rock bottom in the AL East (we were leapfrogged by the Orioles!), the Blue Jays found a way to claw out a late victory tonight, winning 4-2 over Mark Buehrle and the Chicago White Sox in the 2nd game of a 4-game set. We’d seem to be losing [...]
TweetBlue Jays Still Hurting; Adam Lind, Jesse Litsch Not Ready For Return
With the Blue Jays’ latest struggles of the field, some of us have grumbled about the daily lineup, which consistently features such gems as: 1. Juan Rivera hitting cleanup. 2. Bench players like Jayson Nix and Johnny Mac (or both, depending on who is hurt). 3. Edwin Encarnacion, who just really doing anything at all [...]
TweetBlue Jays Bats Silenced; Unable to Back Brandon Morrow in Loss to White Sox
The Blue Jays roller-coaster ride took another dive today to perhaps uncharted lows, as the mercurial ballclub returned home to Toronto to start a weekend series against the struggling White Sox. With Brandon Morrow taking the mound, it seemed, on paper at least, a good opportunity for the Jays to take advantage of the slumping [...]
TweetJo-Jo Reyes Ties All-Time Pitching Futility Record in Blue Jays Loss to Yankees
He’s finally done it: Jo-Jo Reyes has tied the all-time MLB record for most starts by a pitcher without a win, with his 28th straight winless appearance today. I don’t even know what to say – that he was this poor a pitcher was never in doubt, but I am a little surprised that he [...]
TweetFrank Francisco’s 9th Inning Caps Blue Jays Bullpen Implosion In Loss to Yankees
The Blue Jays got more or less the on-paper pitcher’s duel that was expected tonight, but despite Ricky Romero being the better pitcher, it was the veteran workhorse CC Sabathia who came away as the winner with the Yankees walking off in the bottom of the 9th by the score of 5-4. What had been [...]
TweetJP Arencibia’s 4 RBI Night Halts the Bartolo Colon Revival Tour; Blue Jays Beat Yankees
It was kind of a strange night for the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium: after the demoralizing series loss to the worst team in baseball (the Astros), John Farrell decided to mix things up on the lineup, putting Rajai at the leadoff spot (alright, I can see how that works), slotting JP Arencibia 8th (but..he’s [...]
