We had two rehabbing players get into the Dunedin game today. Dunedin Blue Jays (35-29) beat Tampa Yankees 6-4 Brandon Morrow started, only pitched 2 innings. Allowed 5 hits, 1 walk, 3 earned, 0 k, 1 home run. Not good numbers, but then all that really matters is he pitched. Austin Bibens-Dirkx: 7.0, 2 hits, 1 earned, 2 walks, 6...

Rockies 0 Blue Jays 2 That was just a fun game. I loved it. Our 6th straight win. Back in April I would have bet that would couldn't do better than a 2 game win streak this year. We are now 'just' three games under .500. Maicer Izturis may have been my least favorite player just a week or two...

Blue Jays 8 Rangers 0 For the third game in a row, our starting pitcher goes 7 innings. Baseball is so much more fun when the team is playing well. Mark Buehrle looked great. On May 6th Buehrle's ERA was 7.02. After today's game it is down to 4.66. Tonight he pitched 7 quick innings, allowing just 4 hits and...

After a flawed-but-promising rookie season in 2011, it was easy to think that, with a few adjustments, J.P. Arencibia could become a star. It hasn't happened. Instead of progressing, Arencibia seems to be getting worse....

Blue Jays 3 Rangers 1 A very good start for Esmil Rogers. 7 innings of one run ball, just 5 hits, 1 walk with only 1 strikeout. He kept the ball on the ground, 11 ground outs to 4 flyouts. The run against him was an opposite field home runs, not hit all that hard, but that is a good...

We went 5-5 over the past two weeks. Batters J.P. Arencibia You don't need me to tell you that JP's been awful. The past two weeks he has hit .086/.154/.086, 3 singles in 35 at bats. Surprisingly he has walks as well. 1 RBI, for the self declared RBI guy. 15 strikeouts. He was caught stealing once too. The 3...

Over the past couple of weeks the Jays are 5-5, with some days off sprinkled in. Who figured 5-5 would be a good couple of weeks for the Jays? Pitchers R.A. Dickey R.A. had 2 starters, one that was very very good, one that was very very bad. He went 8.1 innings against the Giants, allowing just 2 hits, 2...

The Jays made it official, Chien-Ming Wang signed and will start tonight. Henry Blanco has been released. I think it is likely time he look for a coaching job, if that's what he wants. Andy LaRoche might be following him our to the system. I don't know what to expect from Wang tonight, he has good numbers in Scranton, 2.33...

I was hoping that the Blue Jays would send down a pitcher to make room for Chien-Ming Wang, I'm so not a fan of the 8-man bullpen. But no, the Jays decided to DFA Andy LaRoche instead. They did have to make room on the 40-man roster as well as the active roster for Wang, so LaRoche is the one...
