June 20th, 2012 at 7:51 PM
The Blue Jays were forced into calling up Joel Carreno to start this afternoon matinee against the Milwaukee Brewers. This was his sixth appearance and his second start for the Jays this season and it was one I'm sure he would like to forget. Carreno only lasting three innings and gave up five...

Starting Pitching Woes Poised to Doom the Toronto Blue Jays
June 14th, 2012 at 9:08 PM
Adding insult to injury last night, Kyle Drabek left in the middle of his start after feeling a 'popping sensation' in his elbow. Remarkably, it appears as though Drabek avoided any serious injury, but his poor outing was just another punch to the stomach in a week that has been...

June 13th, 2012 at 5:15 PM

June 12th, 2012 at 3:27 PM

June 11th, 2012 at 11:32 PM
The Blue Jays got trounced in this one by the score of 6-3 due in part to an early exit from the game by starter Brandon Morrow who left this one after only nine pitches. The bullpen was forced to take over early and it was Chad Beck who got...

Fresh off salvaging the final game of a three game series against the Atlanta Braves, the Toronto Blue Jays head home to take on the NL East leading Washington Nationals in game one of what figures to be a difficult three game series. Washington is more or less devoid of...
The Time is Now for the Toronto Blue Jays to Pursue a Starting Pitcher
June 10th, 2012 at 2:11 PM
Entering today's games the Toronto Blue Jays are a very manageable four games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for the AL East division lead, and three games behind the flailing Baltimore Orioles for the second wild card spot (the New York Yankees currently reside nestled inbetween those two).

Analyzing the Toronto Blue Jays’ First Day at the 2012 Draft
June 5th, 2012 at 1:38 PM
The Toronto Blue Jays entered the MLB draft with a whopping five picks in the first round and the sandwich/compensation round. While it has been widely panned as a pretty weak draft class, and the Jays did not possess any picks which would have netted them one of the few...
Drew Hutchison: Toronto Blue Jays Stopper
June 4th, 2012 at 3:53 PM
It may seem silly to reference rookie Drew Hutchison as the Toronto Blue Jays 'stopper', a term usually reserved for true ace pitchers (of which Toronto really has none). Labeling him as such is more semantics than anything, but after putting an end to a five-game Toronto losing streak last...
Fixing the Toronto Blue Jays’ Black Hole in Left Field
June 2nd, 2012 at 1:55 PM
Heading into today's action you could make a solid argument that the Toronto Blue Jays have had average or above average production from seven of their nine lineup spots thus far on the year - no small accomplishment by any means. The primary culprit for the futility at one of...
Kyle Drabek Takes the Mound This Afternoon Against Felix Doubront and the Boston Red Sox
June 2nd, 2012 at 1:59 AM
What an odd matchup, and indeed an odd weekend for the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays. For starters, either team could come out of this series on Sunday night in second place in the AL East, and either could also end the week in the basement of the...

May 31st, 2012 at 1:19 PM
As we head into tonight's games there is an astonishingly small gap of 2.5 games separating the first place teams in the AL East (Baltimore and Tampa Bay) with the last place team (Boston). Should the Red Sox win their game against the Detroit Tigers this evening (they are the...

American League Power Rankings; Turmoil in the AL Central
May 30th, 2012 at 2:45 PM
***PHOTO1*** Texas Rangers (-): Ho-hum. Is there a single power rankings where the Rangers are not at the top of the American League? Oh, and in case you thought they couldn't get any better, they added Roy Oswalt into the fold yesterday.
Tampa Bay Rays (-): It's amazing how this team...
Jays Win and Move to Within Three Games of First in the AL East
May 29th, 2012 at 11:40 PM
The Baltimore Orioles made it interesting late as their highest paid player in franchise history, Adam Jones, hit his second homerun of the night in the top of the ninth and that brought the Orioles within two. Casey Janssen was able to hold them to that deficit though and the...
