a rough stretch

A difficult stretch, and the score shows it. Winning just 1 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down. Also weighing on the score: lost by 4 last night. Hard to shake that off immediately.

Blue Jays News

The Toronto Blue Jays are spiraling, and the 6-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks is a testament to their struggles. Jeff Hoffman took the brunt of the blame, but with the Blue Jays scoring a mere seven runs over four games, it's hard to pin the woes solely on pitching. Injuries are piling up, as key players like George Springer, Alejandro Kirk, and now Daulton Varsho are sidelined, leaving the lineup weak and vulnerable. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. needs to step up, but the pressure is mounting as the team sits at a disappointing 7-12. With Lazaro Estrada hitting the IL and the pitching rotation suffering, this team needs to find its identity fast or risk falling into the depths of the division. The next game against the Diamondbacks could either be the start of a turnaround or a deeper plunge into chaos.

Hoffman Meltdown and Quiet Bats, Jays Lose 6-2
This one will go on Jeff Hoffman, but realistically you also can’t score seven runs in four games and expect anything good to happen. The team is a mess on all fronts right now, from pitching to hitting to defence and base running. One in the loss column is all that’s keeping them above Kansas […]

Game #20 GameThread: Jays @ Diamondbacks
Game two of three with the Diamondbacks. I was looking at ‘attractions in Phoenix’. Camelback Mountain, which does look nice for hike (for other people, not for me, I’ve hiked enough to know I don’t enjoy it, and adding climbing doesn’t enhance the appeal). It is one of the “New 7 Wonders of Nature”. There […]

The Blue Jays need more power production from Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
The Toronto Blue Jays are coming undone at the seams. Their lineup is ravaged by injuries, with George Springer, Addison Barger, and Alejandro Kirk all sidelined. Daulton Varsho, meanwhile, exited Friday night’s 6-3 loss against the Arizona Diamondbacks with knee discomfort. The pitching isn’t in much better shape, either, with Trey Yesavage, José Berríos, and…

Blue Jays Place Lazaro Estrada On 15-Day Injured List
The Blue Jays placed right-hander Lazaro Estrada on the 15-day injured list due to an impingement in his throwing shoulder.  The placement is retroactive to April 5, which was the day the Jays optioned Estrada to Triple-A.  As Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi explains, Estrada’s injury was discovered to have occurred when he was on the active […]

Jays first-round SS phenoms Parker, Nimmala tee off on same night
The parallels between JoJo Parker and Arjun Nimmala are abundant. They were both drafted in the first round out of high school by the Blue Jays; they both possess plus power at the shortstop position; and, on Saturday, they both launched mammoth big flies.
