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...

In a win that guarantees another series win, several O’s fall short of individual milestones
Posted on 25 Aug 2012 by Brendan Keelan.
With 36 games left in the season the Orioles matched last year's win total with an 8-2 victory over Toronto. The O's are now within four games of the East Division Lead after a Yankee loss today. Although posting stellar performances Matt Wieters and J.J. Hardy fell just shy of tying all-time Orioles single game records. Matt Wieters gunned down three runners trying to steal in tonight's game, ...

Romero walks 8 in loss to Tigers
Posted on 21 Aug 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
The season has not been kind to Ricky Romero. After going 8-1 before the All-Star Break, Romero hasn’t been able to record a win in ten starts. His latest attempt against the Detroit Tigers was another forgettable trip to the mound for Romero. Over his last ten games, Romero has shown moments of improvement over his control issues that have plagued him all season. In his last start against th...

Jays outpitch Rangers
Posted on 18 Aug 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
If any Blue Jays follower was questioning whether or not J.A. Happ was just another stop-gap starter for the team, the 29 year-old lefty made great strides on Friday night against the Texas Rangers to put those questions to rest. In his third start for Toronto, Happ threw 98 pitches over six innings, gave up one run on two hits, walked one and struck out eight. Most impressively, seven of his s...

Jays lose 2nd game of series
Posted on 15 Aug 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
For the Blue Jays Tuesday’s loss to Chicago hinged mainly on two plays: Henderson Alvarez’s error in the fifth that allowed in the eventual winning run, and Edwin Encarnacion’s lineout/turned double-play to end a bases-loaded opportunity. Alvarez was pitching well early in the game. He had only given up two hits, until AJ Pierzynski’s lead-off single in the fifth. Pierzynski would event...

Romero’s outing wasted in Jays loss
Posted on 11 Aug 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
It’s been a tough season for Ricky Romero. He hasn’t managed a win since June, at times because he’s unable to pitch effectively and other times because he doesn’t get any run support. Friday night against the Yankees, it was a combination of poor defense, lack of offense and ineffective relief pitching that cost Romero a chance at a win. Romero started off the game with a three-up-thre...

Jays lose in Tampa, again.
Posted on 9 Aug 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
It’s tough to say why the Toronto Blue Jays have such a hard time when they visit Tampa Bay. With their 3-2 loss to the Rays on Wednesday night, the Jays guaranteed the loss of their 16th straight series in Florida. Granted, even when the Rays weren’t in the playoff hunt regularly they gave Toronto trouble. With the Jays’ offense scuffling, having to face Tampa’s excellent pitching staf...

Toronto leaves Seattle winless; lose 5-3
Posted on 2 Aug 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
If the Blue Jays’ series against the Seattle Mariners is any indication of how their current road trip is going to go, Toronto is going to be in tough to scrounge-up even a .500 record on this ten game trip. Wednesday night’s game seemed as if the Jays had a chance to avoid being swept. Starter Carlos Villanueva was trying to avoid his first loss of the season and worked well over his six i...

Jays lose 4-1 to Tigers, but still win series
Posted on 30 Jul 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
It was hard to know going into Sunday’s game which Brett Cecil the Blue Jays were going to see. At times since being recalled, Brett Cecil has possessed the kind of control he needs to be effective, now that he’s throwing for a lower velocity. At other times, he’s lacked the control to keep opposing hitters guessing. For the most part, control was the story of the day for Cecil. In the ea...

Toronto beats Detroit, 8-3
Posted on 28 Jul 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
The Blue Jays started off their series against the Detroit Tigers in a positive way. After avoiding the sweep with a 10-4 win against Oakland yesterday, Toronto was hoping to kick the weekend off with a win on Friday night. Starter Carlos Villanueva was not at his most efficient, needing 99 pitches to make it through five innings. But, after giving up two, two-out solo homeruns to Miguel Cabrer...
