And other Jays stuff
Update: Just I pressed publish we get the news that Vladimir Guerrero has decided not to compete in the home run derby. As much as I might actually watch it if he was in it, I get his decision. I think it is the right move for him.

Eleven years ago today.
The Blue Jays DFAed Edwin Encarnacion.
On June 21, 2010, Edwin was hitting .200/.298/.467. Just a month earlier, he had hit 3 home runs in a game against the Diamondbacks. The team had talked about sending him down to the minors, but they wanted a spot on the 40-man roster for Scott Richmond, who was coming off the 60-day DL.
Could you imagine we could have lost Edwin because we wanted Richmond on the roster? And that’s not...

We have a rubber match today on Father’s Day (Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!). Dear Jays, please win for the dads. Thank you.
Hopefully the team can ride the energy of that 9th inning comeback to a new lengthy streak, fueled by a George Springer return on Tuesday.

Gabriel Moreno, hitting .375 with a 1.080 OPS at AA, and who was a SS growing up before he became a...

A five run ninth inning gets the Jays a needed win
Blue Jays 10 Orioles 7
Thank you, Jays. I needed that. There will be all sorts of narratives about the bench-clearing turning things around for the Jays, but they looked lifeless after the clearing. But, I’m happy to buy into those narratives, since we got the win.
We have been waiting for an inning like that ninth inning for days now. Just short of a miracle.
In the ninth:

Blue Jays’ StarterAlek Manoah brings his 1-0 record and 2.66 ERA through 4 games and 20.1 innings into today’s game. He has looked great, and has been very enjoyable to watch. His fastball has been good, and his slider has lived up to the...
