American League Central foes, pay close attention to the “objects in mirror may be closer than they appear” note in your rear view mirror. After a less-than-stellar April, the Kansas City Royals have won all five of their games in May and are now half a game out of first place. Kansas City’s efficient 5-3 […]
Welcome to game 36 on this young season. Can you imagine? Thirty-six games? I feel like it just started yesterday. In any case, the big news for today’s game is Noah Cameron’s start being skipped. The press crew talked to Cameron and Matt Quatraro before the game, and it doesn’t seem that big of a […]
On Jac’s blazing bat bobblehead night, the Royals were jolted with a little bit of power. They hit two home runs and just barely missed a third in a game that was a joy to watch. It didn’t start like that though. Both offenses looked off in the first few innings. The game moved at […]

Following two-straight losses to open the series, the Athletics sought to win the series finale and prevent the Cleveland Guardians from completing their first series sweep of the season.

Over the past several seasons, the Athletics have had trouble defeating the Cleveland Guardians, a pattern that has continued this weekend. After losing the first two games of the series, the A’s must win today to prevent a Guardians’ sweep. The A’s fell apart last May, suffering a long losing streak that doomed any hopes […]
Another tough day at the ballpark. The A’s dropped the second game of their weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday afternoon, falling 14-6 and setting themselves up for a possible home sweep tomorrow in the finale. Gotta brush these past two off and take tomorrow’s contest. A’s take quick lead The A’s offense […]
Last night wasn’t fun, but the Athletics have a chance to flip the script this afternoon in Game 2 of this weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians. The A’s are still in first place even after last night’s loss but we got the Mariners hot on our heels so let’s keep them at bay with […]
May has officially begun, and the A’s begin the month with a series-opening loss to the Cleveland Guardians, falling to their AL Central foes in a high-scoring 8-5 contest. The starting pitching wasn’t great, the bullpen allowed three runners to cross home plate, and while the offense provided five runs they left 10 on base […]
Happy Friday, everyone! The Tigers eked out a win against the best team in baseball yesterday afternoon. With Cleveland off on Thursday, this meant that the Tigers were able to get back to a .500 win percentage and also tie the Guardians for first in the AL Central. The team now heads home to hopefully […]
The Rays were looking to extend their winning run against AL teams but completing a sweep of the Guardians, but to get there, they’d need to battle it out with Mother Nature first. Those with no domes must suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous meteorological fortune, in this case being a typical Ohio rain […]

The story before the game was Cleveland top prospect Travis Bazzana was recalled to help kickstart a struggling Guardians offense which had posted a 95 wRc+ over the past two weeks.

The Rays won a well-pitched, sharp defense nail biter tonight in Cleveland, with Steven Matz (seven innings pitched) and Ryan Vilade (three hits, two RBI) leading the way. If you like quick moving pitching duels, then the first four and a half innings of this game would be your idea of a good time. The […]
Guardians 2 Blue Jays 4 It didn’t come particularly easily but the Jays win their second in a row. We only had 6 hits on the day, but they were grouped nicely. We scored: Sánchez had a big day with three of our four RBI. And Vlad had a good day, 3 for 4, with […]
Game two of this series. Another win would be nice. And it would also be nice if Yohendrick Pinango does so well that the Jays can’t bring themselves to send him back to the minors. The lineup is interesting. Today’s Lineups GUARDIANS BLUE JAYS Steven Kwan – CF Ernie Clement – SS Angel Martinez – […]
On April 8, Cole Ragans took the mound in a rubber match against the Cleveland Guardians. Steven Kwan led off and struck out looking on five pitches, including three dotted on the outer edge by Ragans. Angel Martinez struck out looking on four pitches. You could feel it. Cole had everything working for him, and […]
Guardians 3 Blue Jays 5 It seemed like the Kazuma Okamoto show. He was 2 for 3 with a homer, walk, 2 RBI and a number of nice plays at third. The home run, like yesterday’s was crushed to dead center, 425 feet, 108.9 mph. Just a terrific day for him. But Kevin Gausman was […]
So there was a bit of Jays news today, check out the posts, but the short of it: I feel bad for Lukes, battling through vertigo, finally starting to hit the way we’d expect and then this. That’s the thing about the game, we don’t know what the players are going through at anytime. Sometimes […]
