12:06AM Eastern You won’t be able to tell from looking at his final pitching line, but 21 year-old Drew Hutchison acquitted himself very well in his major-league debut for the Blue Jays, and he definitely looks like a keeper. Hutchison was unflappable in allowing five runs on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings, walking three, [...]

2:36AM Eastern There were a few things with which to be less than satisfied about the Blue Jays’ series-opening win in Kansas City.  For example, Kyle Drabek had a bit of a relapse, though he maintained his composure, walking six in just 5 1/3 innings of work and throwing more balls than strikes in the [...]

1:25AM Eastern The Blue Jays wrapped up their first homestand of the season with another big loss to the Rays, and wound up going 4-5 in their first sortie at Rogers Centre, falling to an even 6-6 on the season. It’s funny, if you were told ahead of the homestand that the Jays would only [...]

11:35PM Eastern You didn’t really think the Blue Jays were going to go the whole season without getting blown out, did you? The Blue Jays had their heads handed to them by the Rays on Wednesday night, with Tampa Bay adding insult to injury by putting up a six-spot in the 9th inning for their [...]

1:17AM Eastern If, two weeks ago, you had to choose which three Blue Jays would lead the team in home runs this season, you’d likely have put Jose Bautista at the top of the list pretty easily.  Next?  Probably two of Adam Lind, Brett Lawrie and J.P.

11:08PM Eastern Before Sunday’s series finale with Baltimore, Blue Jays’ manager John Farrell was asked if he was wishing for the day when his team would have a five-run lead late in a ballgame.  Farrell’s answer? “Today could very well be that day.”  And lo and behold, it was.  A seven-run lead, even. The Blue [...]

12:16 AM Eastern So, this season couldn’t have started off much worse, could it? Alex Anthopoulos went out and re-made his bullpen after 2011 saw the Blue Jays’ relief corps blow 25 saves – the third-highest total in the major leagues (though the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals did blow 26) – and this [...]

12:44AM Eastern The Blue Jays’ series-opening loss to the Orioles was disappointing to be sure, with the team having wasted a gutty seven innings from Brandon Morrow (who may have come into his own as a pitcher in this game) and four home runs, and with the bullpen blowing a save for the third time [...]

4:19PM Eastern Ricky Romero and Jon Lester put on one heck of a show in the series finale at Roger Centre, and it was the home side that came out on top, with the difference in the game being the wheels of Rajai Davis. Romero and Lester gave up only three hits each, with all [...]

11:38PM Eastern Sorry, gang, but a bad cold combined with a day game coming up means minimal bloggage tonight. I’ll say this – Kyle Drabek looked very good  in taking a two-hit shutout into the 6th inning, having walked only one to that point, and his teammates did an excellent job taking advantage of their [...]
