Jays win; head to break at .500
Posted on 9 Jul 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
Like any statistic in baseball, winning percentage isn’t always the full picture of a team or truly indicative of what they will do. The Blue Jays entered 2012 with higher expectations set by themselves (and by the fans and media) than in any other recent season. To say that making it to the All-Star Break at .500 is a let-down, doesn’t really take into account how well the Jays played amid...

Jays know bad things come in 3s

After a 12-4 win in Atlanta to avoid being swept, the Jays were on a high note as they headed home to host the Nationals (or Expos to most Canadians still) and their 1993 World Series foe, the Philadelphia Phillies. It would be nice to say that the sweep by an impressive Nationals' squad was the worst thing that happened during the week, but after seeing three of their starters removed due to i...

Jays lose 8th straight in Atlanta
Posted on 10 Jun 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
Heading into game two of three in Atlanta on Saturday, the Jays were looking to stop not only their mini two game losing streak, but to somehow manage a win at Turner Field; something that’s eluded them since 2006, when they swept the Braves in a three game series. Toronto’s losing streak in Atlanta started in 2009. They’ve played eight games, including the two this season, and have only ...

Where the Jays Stand – Starting Rotation
Posted on 7 Feb 2012 by Ben Fisher.
Remember back in the fall when I was doing a weekly positional breakdown of the Jays as baseball traipsed through its eventful off-season and into the spring? Well, I went across to diamond to every fielding position off the mound – and little has changed since then. At catcher, former Angel Jeff Mathis will take over the role as J.P. Arencibia’s back-up that was vacated by Tampa-bound Jose...

Jays Bullpen Nearly Set with Oliver Signing
Posted on 10 Jan 2012 by Ben Fisher.
On Monday, the Jays spent $4 million on a 41-year old reliever whose rookie season coincided with the club’s last World Series championship. In the same transaction, they also picked up a reliable late inning guy who has reached the postseason in each of the last five years and has seen his ERA drop in each of those previous five. How you feel about the signing of Darren Oliver depends highly...

Jays Pay Big for Their Closer
Posted on 6 Dec 2011 by Ben Fisher.
Upon hearing of today’s Nestor Molina-for-Sergio Santos swap with the White Sox (a trade of pitchers who spent time in the Toronto system as infielders, ironically enough), the words of New Hampshire Fisher Cats’ beat reporter Kevin Gray echoed in my head. Referring to the 22-year old’s 2011 half-season at the AA level as “Verlander-like”, Gray recently identified Molina as the best p...

Jays Maintain Reign Over O’s
Posted on 13 Sep 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened It wasn’t easy or all that pretty, but the Blue Jays (74-73) capped off another season of dominance over the Orioles, winning all six series against their fellow AL East birds this season (12-6 total record). Despite getting owned by Jeremy Guthrie on Friday, the Jays rebounded with a pair of one-run, come-from-behind wins A Closer Look Relief Comes into Focus on Sunday: The sto...

Jays Take Three of Four from Boston
Posted on 9 Sep 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened The Blue Jays’ (72-72) 3-1 series win over the Boston Red Sox doesn’t exactly feel like a triumph over a division foe – especially given Boston’s 28-19 edge in runs and Tuesday’s 14-0 demolition. However, it does speak to the fight of a Jays’ team that claimed two separate one-run victories and a 7-4 win in which Boston sent the tying run to the plate in the ninth ...
