Springer Back In The Lineup

George Springer is back playing today and batting fourth, which is a choice. I don’t know, it likely better than him leading off. I know that we worry too much about batting order, because that’s one of the things we can easily see, judge. Lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS GIANTS Ernie Clement – 2B Heliot […]

Bluebird Banter 2026 MLB Draft Preview Part 1

The 2026 MLB draft kicks off this Saturday, at 1:00pm ET. Because of MLB’s ironclad commitment to preventing this from becoming an event, it will occur while several teams are playing actual MLB games, although the Jays specifically will be in San Diego and don’t go until 8:40pm. The first 10 picks, which will inexplicably […]

Jays Actually Score And Win

Jays 9 Giants 3 Before the game, I asked the Jays to score and not just one run. And they did….I should have asked earlier. The Jays scored: We did go five inning there without getting a baserunner. But let’s focus on the nine runs instead. We had 13 hits. Clement (leading off) had three […]

MLB Trade Rumors: Freddy Peralta Heads To Blue Jays In Proposed Deadline Deal

This has not been the season that Freddy Peralta or the New York Mets hoped it would be. The Mets are one of the worst teams in baseball with no chance of a play off run. Peralta is having a rough season in his contract year. A 4.68 ERA isn't what he had in mind to take to the free agent market.  Nevertheless, there are reports that his trade market at the deadline could still be decent, per T he Athletic's Will Sammon .  Peralta, 30, set for free agency at the end of the season, sta...

Effectively Wild Episode 2501: Stay on Target

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about two significant MLB debuts on NBC’s “Star-Spangled Sunday” (by Eddy Yean and Eliezer Alfonzo), the fallout from the Marlins pulling Eury Pérez mid-perfecto, a rare fog delay, the All-Star Game rosters (featuring a very normal number of Blue Jays, and also Rob Manfred’s good buddy Bryce Harper), whether […]

Tuesday Open Thread

I’m going to be away from the computer all day, hopefully back for game time tonight. I say hopefully, but the way they are playing I’m not sure that’s the right word. So let’s have an open thread to pass the day away. Normal rules, can talk on anything Jays related or not Jays related. […]

5 Left-Handed Starters That’d Be Perfect Fits on the Blue Jays

It hasn’t been the season the Toronto Blue Jays envisioned. Just one year removed from winning the American League pennant and reaching the World Series, they sit six games below .500 coming out of Fourth of July weekend. Still, all hope is not lost. In a wide-open American League, no team is truly out of […] The post 5 Left-Handed Starters That’d Be Perfect Fits on the Blue Jays appeared first on Just Baseball .

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Blue Jays blasted by beleaguered Giants

For just the second time in the last week and a half, Yankees fans got to wake up in the morning knowing that their team hadn’t embarrassed them in some grotesque manner the night before. Cam Schlittler was an ace! Ben Rice was an All-Star as well! And of course there was a surprise contributor […]

Well, We Scored (And Still Lost)

Jays 1 Giants 10 I don’t know…. At least in the past we were able to make the easy defensive plays. But tonight, we couldn’t even do that. Andrés Giménez made an error. Kazuma Okamoto made an official, had another that should have been an error and made a lousy play on a throw into […]

7/6 Gamethread: Giants vs. Blue Jays

All Our Yesterdays: Giants-Blue Jays Series Preview

I just can’t wait until the end of the season to do the final analysis of the San Francisco Giants/Farhan Zaidi opting not to sign Kevin Gausman to an extension after the 2021 season. With the trade deadline less than a month away now and Robbie Ray almost certainly on the move, it’s begging to […]

Is There a Path Back to the Blue Jays For Bo Bichette?

This past offseason, the Toronto Blue Jays made headlines as one of the biggest winners in free agency, enticing star players like Dylan Cease and Kazuma Okamoto to come north of the border. However, they also saw some of their best performers in 2025 sign with different organizations in the same offseason. Players like Chris […] The post Is There a Path Back to the Blue Jays For Bo Bichette? appeared first on Just Baseball .
