As if there aren’t enough gadgets in Baseball Savant’s tool belt already, now there’s a new toy for baseball nerds to play with. MLB unveiled their Bat-Tracking Leaderboard yesterday, and many were quick to notice how the Toronto Blue Jays ranked against their competitors.
In front of the once again newly-renovated Rogers Centre for the first time this season, the Blue Jays won their first series of the 2024 season during a three-game tilt against the Seattle Mariners.
Well, you can’t say that the Blue Jays didn’t have chances to win that game. On Wednesday afternoon, Toronto hosted the Seattle Mariners for the final game of the series, falling 6-1 and bringing their season record to 6-7.
For the first time in 2024, the Toronto Blue Jays are on a winning streak. After winning their Home Opener by a score of 5-2 over the Seattle Mariners, the Blue Jays made it two in a row with a 5-3 victory on Tuesday.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Toronto Blue Jays have been hot and cold in hitting with runners-in-scoring-position. That was a key deficiency with last year’s offence, which finished tied for 12th in AVG (.260) and 14th in wRC+ (102) but 23rd in SLG (.390) across the majors.
Back home and back in the win column. On Monday evening, the Blue Jays played their first home game of the season, hosting the Seattle Mariners and defeating them 5-2.
The Blue Jays split their first series of the year, right on par with expectations. Not great. Not terrible. There were shining moments, like Toronto’s clutch hitting (hallelujah!).
It didn’t take long for the Tropicana Field to turn into a house of horror again for the Toronto Blue Jays. All it took was a couple of detrimental defensive errors and listless swings on Toronto’s end for the Tampa Rays to win the games by 8-2 and 5-1 on Friday and Saturday respectively.
The Toronto Blue Jays took a road trip down the coast to bring in the new year, taking on the Tampa Bay Rays in a four-game set at Tropicana Field.
The Santiago Espinal era has come to an end in Toronto. The Blue Jays announced earlier this evening that they would be trading the versatile infielder to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for right-handed pitching prospect Chris McElvain.
Baseball season is just around the corner! Some of you may already know the ins and outs of the Toronto Blue Jays and baseball but you may have friends and family who may want to know more and be a part of the conversation.
The Jays are now on a two-game win streak. On Tuesday afternoon, the Jays defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-3 in Spring Training action to move their record to .500, or 9-9.
Another day, another win for the Blue Jays. On Monday afternoon, they took on the Tampa Bay Rays, defeating the American League East Divisional rivals by a score of 9-2.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way. It was only three days ago that Etobicoke-native and former Cincinnati Reds player Joey Votto posted about how he misses playing baseball.
Guess what’s back, back again, News and Notes is back, tell a friend. In this edition of News and Notes, we’ll look at two separate news pieces regarding two starters battling for the fifth spot in the rotation.
Without a finalized squad, the Toronto Blue Jays may have to do a bit of juggling with their 40-man roster – which is currently full – prior to heading north for Opening Day next month.
It’s a new day, which means it’s time for a new News and Notes. We’re just two days away from the first game of Spring Training, which begs the question, who’ll start the game on Saturday?
With only a few weeks until spring training, I considered infield options that the Toronto Blue Jays have for third base. As it stands, Matt Chapman is no longer with the team and the Blue Jays have a handful of options who can play the hot corner.
With pitchers and catchers reporting to Dunedin, Florida and Blue Jays spring training officially getting underway, one player is starting the year facing some adversity heading into a new campaign.
It wasn’t that long ago that the Blue Jays looked to be building their infield around a trio of second-generation stars whose fathers combined to go to 20 All-Star Games over the course of their respective careers.
So far this season, Biggio has 62 at-bats through 23 games while being used as a defensive replacement and a pinch runner on occasion, mustering eight hits on the year.
Twins third baseman José Miranda has withdrawn from the World Baseball Classic due to shoulder soreness and more from around the AL.
The Blue Jays announced this evening they’ve activated Cavan Biggio from the COVID-19 injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo.
Biggio has particularly struggled this season, slashing .205/.315/.315 with three home runs and 11 RBI in 39 games.
Can you name the last player to hit a single, double, triple and home run in one game for every MLB franchise? Five minutes are on the clock.
