Cool

last night's loss

Not a great stretch. Dropping one by 8 last night stings. Compounding things, 5.9 RA/G this week. Hard to keep the score up with that.

Blue Jays News

The Toronto Blue Jays stumbled out of the All-Star break, suffering a humiliating 12-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox, which dropped their record to a dismal 45-52. Despite hitting three home runs, the offense was stifled, managing only seven hits, while the pitching staff sank deeper into mediocrity. With a clear message from manager John Schneider about the urgency to turn around their season, the Jays are running out of time and options as the trade deadline looms. Meanwhile, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s struggles continue to be a focal point, with former star Vernon Wells suggesting that key elements of Vladdy's game are missing. As injuries pile up and the postseason slips further out of reach, the Blue Jays' path to the 2026 season looks increasingly perilous.

Happy Birthday Adam Lind And Steve Delabar

Adam Lind turns 43 today. Adam Lind was on our prospect list when I first joined BBB. I remember the debate about whether he’d become a “40 home run” player. That didn’t happen, but very few players ever reach that mark. Lind made his MLB debut as a September call-up in 2006 and performed admirably. […]
