At least this one was over quickly. The Dodgers pummelled the Blue Jays’ pitching staff throughout, and the Jays’ offence never really threatened to make it a shootout. The losing streak now extends to four and Toronto find themselves back below .500 on the season.
It was not Chris Bassitt’s night. Shohei Ohtani opened the scoring with a solo homer in the first (Hey, that guy’s good, the Jays should try to sign him). He worked...

It’s been a quiet day in baseball. Just a couple of smaller notes:
The Orioles are optioning #1 overall prospect Jackson Holliday. Holliday tore up AAA to start the season with a 1.077 OPS before his call-up, but has hit just .059 while posting a 50% strikeout rate in 10 big league games. I’m sure this is the end for him, and he won’t be back soon to spend the next decade terrorizing the Jays. Nope, that’s a wrap. Yet more pitcher injuries...Peter Aiken-USA TODAY Sports
Dodgers (16-11) vs Blue Jays (13-13)
After escaping a wet, cold and windy hell yesterday and returning to the land of the domed sky, the Blue Jays will find another hell waiting for them, the NL West behemoth Dodgers. The Blue Jays kick off a three game set against the division leaders, hoping to put an end to their longest losing streak of the season. After a week of later gametimes with some west coast and central time zones, tonight’s game is back on...
When the Toronto Blue Jays kicked off the 2024 campaign, they were flying high in regards to their pitching depth. Don’t forget that last year, the quartet of Kevin Gausman, Jose Berrios, Yusei Kikuchi and Chris Bassitt were as nasty as they come.

Our #3 Blue Jays prospect made his Major League debut on Wednesday night. It wasn’t productive, exactly, as he went 0-4 with a strikeout, but it was memorable. His first big league at bat ended with a deep fly ball, 105mph off the bat. It flew 397 feet, but unfortunately Kaufman Stadium is 410ft to centre field and it was caught on the track. His second at bat lead to a 91mph liner right off pitcher Alec Marsh’ shoulder, again going for an out...
On April 24th, 45 years ago, the Toronto Blue Jays signed Tony Fernández. Fernández was a promising teenage infielder and prospect. He was born in the Dominican Republic and was an amateur free agent.
The Toronto Blue Jays placed right-hander Bowden Francis on the 15-day injured list on Thursday with right forearm extensor tendinitis. Francis, who turned 28 on Monday, pitched two scoreless innings in Wednesday's 3-2 loss at Kansas City.

Blue Jays 1 Royals 2 (5 innings)
When it rains and worsens as the game goes on, I always want my team to get the lead. When it comes down hard, batting gets more difficult (pitching, too, but that’s a separate issue). If you have seen a ball cutting through hard rain, you know it is weird to watch it hit raindrops and spin water off it. Add in having rain drips off your helmet, sometimes gets into your eyes, it is tough to make good contactmake g. Add in that...
The Toronto Blue Jays will play the final game of their four-game series against the Kansas City Royals today looking to salvage a series split after winning the first game they’ve dropped the last two to drop to 13-12.

There was a bit of news while I was busy playing poor tennis:
Bowden Francis has been put on the IL with forearm extensor tendinitis. I’m sure someone else can explain that one. Brendon Little has been called up from Buffalo. But he pitched a fair bit this spring, 8 appearances, 8 innings, 6 hits, 6 earned, 5 walks with 10 strikeouts. And 2 hit batters. In Buffalo, he’s pitched in 9 games, 9.1 innings, 7 hits, 3 earned (2.89 ERA),...Photo by MediaNews Group/Bay Area News via Getty Images
It is raining in KC, so the game might not start on time. If it is rained out, the teams each have an off-day next Thursday.
A win today would give us a split of the series, which would be nice.

Blue Jays 2 Royals 3
Our team keeps games so close so that if they aren’t perfect defensively, we lose.
We should have scored more than two runs.
But then we only had 6 hits and 3 walks.
George Springer had 2 of the hits, a double, and a solo homer in the fifth that got us our first run.
Our other run came in the sixth. Daulton Varsho started it off with a single, Danny Jansen walked. A wild pitch moved them to second and third. And an Ernie Clement ground...
The pay figures for some of the top executives of TKO have been disclosed. Jill Goldsmith of Deadline has shed some light on the payments that some of TKO’s higher-ups, including CEO Ari Emanuel, received in 2023.
Set Number: X164021 TK1
We have the debut of Addison Barger, which made Minor Leaguer very happy to get to do a pun in the post title.
Kevin James Kiermaier goes on the IL with inability to make contact with a baseball left hip flexor inflammation.
I hope Addison convinces the team to keep him in the lineup. Of course, I’d love to see Orelvis Martinez, too, but a step at a time.
Addison Barger was informed he’d been called up to the Blue Jays around 11:30pm Tuesday; rushed to...
