Toronto Blue Jays Thoughts, June 6th Edition: Brandon Morrow Twirls Another Gem
Not exactly a new statement, but I think it’s one worth repeating: if only the Toronto Blue Jays could play AL Central teams more often, instead of, you know, the Rays… There’s a couple of ways to look at where the team is at right now. On one hand, I think 4th place in the [...]
TweetToronto Blue Jays Select DJ Davis, Marcus Stroman With First Round Picks
I hope you’re all ready for some buzzy phrases and (sometimes unreasonable) comps, because it’s that time of the year again. Yes, it’s the 2012 MLB Rule 4 draft (or first year player draft), and the Toronto Blue Jays had possession of a pair of picks in the first round (#17 and #22). There had [...]
TweetToronto Blue Jays LF Eric Thames Demoted To Minors
And the roster moves just keep on coming for the Toronto Blue Jays. After 2 months of well-below average fielding in left, and a disastrous month of May at the plate, Eric Thames was sent down to AAA Las Vegas today, where he’ll presumably try to get a confidence boost a-la-Adam Lind in the hitter-friendly [...]
TweetToronto Blue Jays Thoughts, May 27th Edition: Kyle Drabek Becomes Latest Rangers’ Victim
It’s been a week since I did one of these “game thoughts” posts, and for good reason – that being it just hasn’t been a very good week for the Blue Jays; and by “hasn’t been very good”, I really mean to say it’s been a brutal, forgettable road trip that saw the team fall [...]
TweetRyoto Igarashi’s Stint With The Toronto Blue Jays A Short One
As far as pitching debuts go, Toronto Blue Jays reliever Ryoto Igarashi sure had his work cut out for him. The hard-throwing righty made his American League debut in the heart of Texas on Friday, facing a Rangers lineup that had already scored 8 runs by the 5th inning. That Igarashi managed to allow only [...]
TweetThe Ace Is Not Alright: Ricky Romero’s Diminishing Control
With a 3.61 team ERA from its starting the pitchers, it’s fair to say that the Toronto Blue Jays have thus far allayed pre-season concerns that the starting rotation would be a rollercoaster ride all season. While the team has gotten the 3rd-best production in the AL to date, the one guy they’d probably like [...]
TweetVladimir Guerrero Sets Sights On HR #500 With Toronto Blue Jays
Over his 16-year MLB career that once saw him as one of the league’s elite outfielders, Vladimir Guerrero knows a thing or two about slugging homers with the bat; and by a thing or two, I mean he’s done it 449 times so far. Though, according to Guerrero, it’s the home runs that he hasn’t [...]
TweetToronto Blue Jays Thoughts, May 19th Edition: Razzle Dazzle Brandon Morrow
Given the highs and lows that a MLB team will go through in a given season, I think that the Toronto Blue Jays are at arguably their highest point in the 2012 season right now, following this afternoon’s 2-0 win over the New York Mets. Sure, we’ve had 4-game win streaks before, but somehow, this [...]
TweetToronto Blue Jays Demote Adam Lind; Yan Gomes Called Up
The other shoe has finally dropped for Adam Lind. After 2+ years of being the worst first baseman in the major leagues, the Toronto Blue Jays have announced today that they have demoted Lind to AAA Las Vegas, where he will have a chance to get things right. Despite Lind’s struggles at the plate, the [...]
TweetToronto Blue Jays Thoughts, May 15th Edition: In Which Brett Lawrie Loses It
The picture says it all tonight, I think. Not that most of us really know what it’s like to lose as a professional athlete, but I assume it’s probably not the easiest thing to swallow. Sometimes, it’s probably extra-difficult, as it was for the Toronto Blue Jays during a disheartening 4-3 loss to the Tampa [...]
