Morrow shines in Vizquel’s swan song
Posted on 4 Oct 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
Brandon Morrow definitely saved his best for last, having his best start since returning from the disabled list, on the last day of the season. Striking out five of the first six batters he faced, it was easy to tell early on that Morrow had his best stuff working on the night. His eight innings, three hits, three walks, and one earned run with eleven strikeouts is one of the best pitching line...

Jays beat Twins in 10
Posted on 2 Oct 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
At this point in the season, there’s not much left to play for if you’re the Blue Jays. The team could be forgiven for solely counting down until season’s send, but apparently that’s not what Toronto has in mind. After kicking off the scoring in the first on Adam Lind’s single to score Rajai Davis, the Jays were unable to keep the Minnesota Twins on the scoreboard. Aaron Laffey lacked...

Jays blank Yanks 6-0
Posted on 28 Sep 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
After losing 8 of 10 on the last road trip of the season, the Jays managed to kick off their last home stand with a 6-0 win over the Yankees. Brandon Morrow went the deepest in a game since before he went on the disabled list in June. Morrow pitched seven strong innings, only giving up four hits. After facing five batters in the seventh and needing 21 pitches to get through the inning, Morrowâ€...

Romero wins; Jays split doubleheader
Posted on 25 Sep 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
The Blue Jays’ overall difficulty winning games aside, this past road trip has seen the team play a lot of baseball in a short span. After leaving Toronto last weekend, the team’s current trip features two double-headers and leads right into their last homestand of the season. When all is said and done, Toronto will have played 17 games in 15 days to close out 2012. Game one in Baltimore on...

Jays lose doubleheader to Yanks
Posted on 20 Sep 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
On a day where both Jays’ starters pitched well, the offence just couldn’t come up with enough support to get a win. Henderson Alvarez had one of his better starts of the season. He lasted seven innings, struck out seven, walked none, and gave up five hits. The three runs he allowed in the game all came in the first inning, but he managed to shut it down after that. It was a nice progressio...

Jays lose 3-2 to Boston
Posted on 16 Sep 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
For anyone who may be watching, Carlos Villanueva has shown this season that he’s capable of being a member of a starting rotation. Of his 14 starts this season, only two of them have been no decisions (including Saturday against Boston) and he’s amassed a 7-5 record. In a season where Toronto rotation needed some stability from somewhere, Villanueva provided a decent starting point. On S...

Romero loses 13th straight in Jays’ 3-2 loss
Posted on 13 Sep 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
It’s hard to know when or how things will click back into place for Ricky Romero. After pitching one of his better performances on seven days earlier this season, Toronto hoped giving Romero some extra time this go-around would have the same result. Unfortunately, Romero was nowhere as effective on Wednesday night as the Blue Jays were hoping for. The first inning was a solid start for Romer...

Jays homerun their way to 7-5 win
Posted on 8 Sep 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
As the Blue Jays made their way to Fenway Park for the last time this season fresh off a win at home on Wednesday, they probably couldn’t help but think about repeating their last trip into Boston. The three game sweep in July came only days after Toronto lost Jose Bautista and they were without Brett Lawrie for the first game. After looking anemic after the All-Star Break, the Jays managed t...

Toronto avoids sweep; win 6-4
Posted on 6 Sep 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
Wednesday night’s win was a sorely needed bright spot to end the Blue Jays’ current home stand. After winning the first two games against Tampa Bay last week with good pitching and defense, Toronto went on to drop their last four games, including two shutouts at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles. In his third start since coming off the DL, Brandon Morrow continued to improve and show glimp...

Jays beat Rays 2-0
Posted on 31 Aug 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
With their win Thursday night, the Blue Jays managed to win back-to-back games for the first time since the middle of August. It seems Toronto has every intention of ending a disastrous August on a winning note, having won three of their last four. In what was one of (if not the best) pitched games on the season, Toronto starter Carlos Villanueva went six strong innings without giving up a run....

Romero shines in Jays’ loss
Posted on 29 Aug 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
Tuesday was a bit of a mixed bag for the Blue Jays. Before game two against the Yankees even started, it was announced that Jose Bautista would be having season-ending surgery to bring more stability to his injured left wrist. The minor league system also took a hit when first-round draft pick Marcus Stroman was suspended 50 games for failing a drug test after ingesting a banned substance, alth...

Jays lose Bautista and 7th straight
Posted on 26 Aug 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
Although it’s hard to imagine the Blue Jays being able to turn their season around, there was some feeling things could get better this weekend. Friday night marked the return of Jose Bautista, but even the slugger’s anticipated return wasn’t enough to help the Jays come through late in the game. Saturday’s game saw the return of Brandon Morrow to the mound after he left his June 11th s...
