Title: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on February 26, 2026, 08:48:27 PM
Heading down to Dunedin for a couple of weeks. Sounds like the Jays have signed Scherzer for 1 year at $3M.

Jays with lots of young talent. Pitching also looks very solid.

1-0, though I think Hoffman shouldn't have a firm grip on his closer role for much longer...

Good team win. Excellent pitching. Hoffman giving up another 9th inning HR is concerning.

Great one night success . Bottom of the order scored while Gaus and "most" relievers came thru

Nice come back win for the Jays today after Little gave up a granny to put the Jays down 6-2.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on March 29, 2026, 12:45:54 PM
Two games in, I am really liking the pitch challenge rule. The decisions are quick and there hardly any delay in the game. One umpire being over ruled 6 times in one game.   
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on March 29, 2026, 05:52:13 PM
Nice, Springer with a lead off HR. Great pitching, three HRs. The Blue Jays are looking good early.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on March 31, 2026, 03:06:14 AM
Ponce stumbles, trying to field a ball, after 1 out in the third and gets carted off with knee discomfort

Miles and Little, as a couple examples, crap the pitching bed

In a loss the positive appeared to be the 4 jacks by the Jays
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on March 31, 2026, 03:34:00 AM
Yes, tough break for Ponce. Yes, and Little has been a nightmare so far.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 01, 2026, 03:41:37 AM
Blue Jays with a nice bounce back win. Much better pitching tonight, and a lot of players chipping with the bats.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on April 01, 2026, 02:28:44 PM
Max was really on top of his game
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 01, 2026, 03:37:06 PM
Ponce out with a ACL sprain. He will be out for awhile.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 01, 2026, 06:53:03 PM
Gausman outstanding for 6 innings. Hoffman 3 strike outs in the 9th. But, no O today.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 04, 2026, 10:48:39 PM
Blue Jays in a little bit of trouble. Lack of starting pitchers. Little has been terrible. Kirk injury has hurt the Jays. Heineman has made a throwing error in the last two games which has been costly. And, a few players have not found there bats yet.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on April 05, 2026, 03:22:50 AM
Bad base running decision by Heineman and then the horrible flip into left field during a rundown

Vlad finally punched one out
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 05, 2026, 04:31:16 AM
Kirk with a fractured thumb on his catching hand. 4 to 12 weeks is the normal healing time. However, he's a catcher so this could be the full 12 weeks if not longer.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on April 06, 2026, 12:05:35 AM
Shutout and definitely weren't a threat other than once

Other than the Yankees really good record, the Jays are not losing ground to the other underachievers in their Division
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 06, 2026, 03:30:06 AM
Injuries piling up for the Jays.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 06, 2026, 04:38:48 AM
Ponce and Santander to the 60 day. Little and Estrada heading to Buffalo. Barger lower body.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 08, 2026, 10:53:23 PM
Much needed win for the Blue Jays. LA is very good and we had to fight for every inch.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on April 11, 2026, 02:32:01 AM
Two wins in a row, get the World Series tickets printed.

Nice comeback with power, great relief pitching
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 11, 2026, 04:06:17 AM
Didn't look good early. Down 4-0. The boy's put together some good hitting tonight.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 11, 2026, 07:20:47 PM
DS5 finding his power stroke. Nice two run dinger.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026

Jay's loss 7-4, and Springer with a broken big toe.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on April 13, 2026, 05:35:42 PM
Yup, Springer goes on the 10 day, wouldn't surprise me if old man Scherz is placed on some IL, while Bieber, just today, goes
to the 60 day.
Think, correct me if wrong,the Jays picked up an infielder today

This team is pretty banged up right now. Lucky no one is playing consistently good baseball in there division.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026

Nice come back win for the Jays. So timely hitting in the 9th and 10th.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on April 15, 2026, 03:00:17 PM
Missed some of Jets game due to flipping to Jays game
Caught most of the rally in 9th and the big 10th —- YIPPEE
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 16, 2026, 03:20:12 AM
Bottom of the 8th was tough to watch. A few errors did us in. Sloppy.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 17, 2026, 04:17:24 AM
3 bunts in a row does the Jays in today. Boy's have to find some consistency with the bats.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 18, 2026, 04:23:02 AM
Another L, and another key player with an injury. I hope Varsho's injury isn't long term.

Hoffman gives up a grand slam in the 8th. Time to find another closer.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on April 19, 2026, 02:36:34 PM
Saw Hoffman's terrible inning, which makes it two appearances in a row, in which he's melted down.
Believe Varland had recently been anointed the closer which explains Hoff pitching the 8th.

Jays had hits, but alas, continue to leave runners stranded
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 19, 2026, 10:59:44 PM
Wow, the Jays with 10 runs today. Gaus with another nice outing.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 21, 2026, 04:41:08 AM
Nice win for the Blue Jays. Vlad with 3 hits. Cease with another beauty. Nice to see Varsho back. And, Hoffman actually closed out a game.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 22, 2026, 04:43:12 AM
Blue Jays with another nice win. Some timely hitting. However, going into the bottom of the 9th with a 3 run lead and Hoffman loads the bases. Nice to have Varland to bail him out.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 23, 2026, 05:45:49 PM
Good games yesterday until Fisher and Nance came into the game. But, the Jays still leaving to many men on base.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 27, 2026, 04:34:28 AM
Blue Jays win back to back series. Playing pretty good ball with all the injuries they have.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on April 27, 2026, 01:32:32 PM
Jays need to shut down the Red Sox, who now replaced their Mgr., and have won two straight. Another series win would most definitely help the Jays keep their heads high

As a team, the Jays have a low whiff rate but Okamoto is an awful exception to that

Yes, Oko has had trouble with the whiffs. But, he is starting to catch up with the fastball. Hitting much better of late.

Post by: Pigskin on April 28, 2026, 01:38:47 PM
Not going to win to many games with only 2 hits. Bats have to be more consistent. Sounds like Springer and Barger are close to returning.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on April 29, 2026, 12:26:48 PM
Very nice outing for Ysavage and Okamoto's powerful drive to the wall, knocking in 2, was huge in getting the win.

Certainly not getting much production from our catchers and
Mr Personality, Schneider, is working for walks but that's about it offensively.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 29, 2026, 03:20:01 PM
Yes, had a nice night. Some timely hits. But, I think when the bats are cold, Jays need to go to some small ball and take some more chances on the base paths.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on April 29, 2026, 10:12:10 PM
Very solid victory this afternoon.
Some big hits, first dinger for Clement, young catcher, Valenzuela, strokes out a long bomb and the pitching was precise and strong throughout the game
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on April 29, 2026, 10:31:09 PM
Nice to see Springer back. A lot of guy's chipping in with the O today.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on May 02, 2026, 08:42:12 PM
Springer takes another ball off the foot. Left the game. Blue Jays with 8 runs in the 8th innings. Oko with another HR.

Cease with another solid outing. Sosa, Straw, and Val also with HRs.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on May 14, 2026, 03:37:45 PM
Varsho with a walk off granny last night. Jays needed that. The O has been terrible against the Rays. Vladi 2 HRs and batting under 300. He needs to get going.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on May 14, 2026, 07:38:46 PM
Really jumped when Varsho knocked the opposite grandiose

That's now 21 games since Vlads last dinger —- head scratcher

Post by: Pigskin on May 21, 2026, 04:51:32 AM
Yesavage with a beauty. Jays played a little small ball. Good road win against a very tough Yankees.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on May 22, 2026, 04:11:29 AM
Blue Jays with another solid win over the Yankees. Excellent pitching and a couple of timely hits. However the boys left far to many on base.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on May 23, 2026, 03:20:54 AM
Just enough timely hitting, running, very good pitching, a few errors by the Pirates and Jays win
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on May 23, 2026, 10:35:25 PM
Excellent pitching again today. The boys kept chipping away at the Pirates starting pitcher and final broke him down. Another nice win. 
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on May 25, 2026, 06:26:38 PM
Vladi and Cease both leave early. Vladi hit on the elbow with a pitch. Sounds like he will be okay. No word on Cease, but it looked like discomfort with his neck.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on May 25, 2026, 09:25:01 PM
Cease on the 15 day IL.  Vlad won't start tonight but may be available as game progresses.
Luke's back from rehab and thus Schneider, who truly has been well below average, was sent down for the roster spot
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on May 26, 2026, 04:43:59 PM
Yes had a rough outing. Lot's of running on base, but couldn't cash them in.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: Pigskin on May 29, 2026, 04:50:07 AM
Another great outing for Blue Jays pitchers.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026

Blue Jays down 5 zip and come back to win 6-5.

Hoffman blows a 4 run lead in the 9th. Give him a bus ticket to Buffalo.

Jays looked tired. 17 games in 17 days. Bring in pitches from anywhere they can find them. Nice, there getting a day off.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026

Jays, with a nice come back win. Pitching staff is getting healthy.

Nice to see Kirk back yesterday. 3/3. 1R, 3H, 2RBI, 1BB.
Title: Re: Blue Jays 2026
Post by: JockitchwithRich on June 13, 2026, 04:24:21 PM
Unbelievable moon shot by Okamoto left my mouth open for awhile
   —- get with the power program Vlad

Kirk certainly came thru and helped lead the team to a win

Yesavage had some decent moments but control issues, in back to back games, should be a concern
