    Five scoreless innings from Aaron Sanchez Game Recap | Box Score  If ever an argument can be made that good pitching wins baseball games, the past two games are all the evidence that Toronto needs.

    Shoemaker shines in his Blue Jays debut Game Recap | Box Score  Signed in the off-season, Matt Shoemaker was a risky addition to the Blue Jays rotation, finishing with an ERA closing in on 5.00 for the past two seasons, and with limited throwing time.

    Zimmerman took a perfect game into the 6th Game Recap | Box Score For the record, while this is my second opening day in a row at the Rogers Centre, I am not a Blue Jays fan. Yes, I see more Blue Jays games than any other team, but what I am is a fan…

    Game Recap  | Box Score James McCann Bobblehead Day Getting to the game early to secure a Bobblehead, I enjoyed a 30-minute, pre-game Q&A with John Hiller. The interviewer was trying a bit too hard and should have just let Mr. Hiller tell his Tigers stories from the 1960’s & 1970’s. The Astros led the game for most…

    Game Recap | Box Score Josh Reddick homer gives the Astros the win Watching Jose Altuve today, it’s clear that he is one of the rarest and most talented players in the game. Given his size relative to most of the other players — 5’6 looks tiny next to a team of 6’0+ players — many…

While yesterday’s game was closing in on 5 hours, we were already in the 5th at 8:30! Justin Verlander had a pretty solid start which unfortunately was marred by one meatball pitch which cost him 2 runs on a home run by Kyle Seager. Although…
