Columbus Blue Jackets Summer Playbook
Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
Columbus had a very disappointing 2010-11 season, prompting GM Scott Howson to create an aggressive approach to the offseason. His first big splash was trading the #8 overall pick in the draft (Sean Couturier) and Jake Voracek to the Flyers in exchange for superstar Jeff Carter. Don’t think that’s it for Columbus, as there is more to come from this hungry franchise. Despite rumors of Steve ...

Bats Awaken in Sweep of Cards
Posted on 27 Jun 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened 16 runs over three games have helped get the Blue Jays (39-39) back on track offensively and contributed to a timely sweep over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Home runs from Jose Bautista, Juan Rivera and J.P. Arencibia helped the Jays to their first three-game sweep since beating the Twins in mid-May. A Closer Look Hill Coming Around: While it was Bautista, Rivera and ...

Jays Punchless in Braves’ Sweep
Posted on 22 Jun 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened There was certainly no ‘O’ in ‘Blue Jays’ (36-39) in the team’s trio of losses at Atlanta’s Turner Field. Braves pitching held Toronto bats to just two runs over the three-game set (the Jays have now scored three runs over their last four games). A Closer Look Romero’s Right to Be Frustrated: Even if Ricky Romero had taken unneeded pot shots at his teammates in criti...

Pitching Leads the Way vs. Cincy
Posted on 20 Jun 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened For at least one weekend, questions about the Blue Jays’ (36-36) pitching staff were put to rest thanks to a trio of exceptional starts. Jo-Jo Reyes, Brandon Morrow and Carlos Villanueva all enjoyed terrific outings, with only Villanueva failing to pick up a win due to a power outage from the Jays’ bats. A Closer Look Encouraging Starts Abound: So what to make of the performan...

Lind Shines in KC Split
Posted on 10 Jun 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened The Blue Jays (32-31) experienced an even-steven four-games set against the Kansas City Royals in more than one way this week. Not only did they earn a 2-2 split, with the Royals taking the book-end games and Toronto triumphing in the middle two, but they enjoyed a scorching return from one line-up regular (Adam Lind) while losing another (Yunel Escobar) to injury. A Closer Look L...

Pitching Woes Doom Jays Against Tribe
Posted on 2 Jun 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened Another ‘win the opener, lose the rest’ series for the Blue Jays (28-28) saw Jo-Jo Reyes get a monkey off his back with a winning start on Monday, but then a pair of shaky pitching performances by Brandon Morrow and Kyle Drabek led to a lost series. A Closer Look Trials and Tribulations of a Young Pitching Staff: Reyes and his misleading 28 consecutive winless starts faced all...

Jays, Rays Split Two-Gamer
Posted on 20 May 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened The Blue Jays (22-21) and Rays have now played eight games against one another this season, with no game decided by more than two runs. Therefore, it shouldn’t be surprising that they emerged with a 1-1 split through a close pair of tilts at Rogers Centre, with Jesse Litsch’s lack of control and some poor defence leading to a 6-5 Wednesday loss before Ricky Romero led the team...

Pirates: Has Neal Huntington Overstayed His Welcome?
Posted on 19 May 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
When evaluating a trade in baseball, there needs to be a waiting period of about three years before deciding which team got the better deal. In the case of the Pirates trading Jose Bautista to the Toronto Blue Jays, I think it's fair to say which team got the better deal. On August 21, 2008, Bautista was traded from the Pirates to the Blue Jays for a player to be named later, which ended up...

Bats Go Silent in Tampa
Posted on 5 May 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened Even though strong pitching from Jo-Jo Reyes, Brandon Morrow and Kyle Drabek kept the club in the series and even earned them a win, the Jays (14-17) simply couldn’t generate enough offence against a tough Rays’ pitching staff. With Jose Bautista still out and the Blue Jays boasting precious little in offensive depth, Toronto offered up a hot Adam Lind and not much else agains...

New Colon Smells Like Winning
Posted on 21 Apr 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The Yankees turned to Bartolo Colon on Wednesday night to make a spot start in Toronto in place of the ailing Phil Hughes and hoped that the old dog remembered all his tricks. He surprised everyone, including himself, earning his first win in almost two years, after sitting out the entire 2010 season. The veteran righty made it through 6 2/3 innings and struck out seven in allowing two earned r...
