Blue Jays at Tampa Bay, 28-31 March

Batter's Box (Magpie) — A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Likewise, the 162 game season begins with the first one. Do I have any predictions?  I do!  I think that esteemed philosopher, Clubber Lang, expressed it most memorably. "Prediction? [Dramatic pause, looks into camera.] "Pain." Yes, there will be pain. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but soon. There will be...

The Annual BBB Introduction Post

It is fun to learn about the folks who come to the site. Please take part. The second title is a Hayes Carll song, Nice Things. It is a cute story about God coming to earth and being less than thrilled about what...

Today in Blue Jays History: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Walk-Off Home Run

SBN: Bluebird Banter (Tom Dakers) — Photo by Minas Panagiotakis/Getty Images Six Years Ago Today The Jays were playing a rather forgettable spring game in Montreal. Nothing much happened until the bottom of the ninth inning. The score was 0-0 when Vladimir Guerrero approached the plate, and the post titles gave it away. The great part is that if you listen to the clip below, Buck Martinez suggests what will happen as...

Best and Worst Pitchers for the Jays All-Time

Batter's Box (John Northey) — Well, time to finally get into the pitchers side of this. Wonder if any of these records (good or bad) will be broken in 2024? This time I made sure to get all split seasons where guys played partial years for the Jays. Pitchers have different challenges than hitters for lists like this.  Luckily FanGraphs is nice enough to split every pitcher into relief and starting - so I have stats...

Monday Bantering and GameThread

SBN: Bluebird Banter (Tom Dakers) — We know the last four batters who will be on the Jays opening roster: Daniel Vogelbach Davis Schneider Ernie Clement Brian Serven I’ll admit that I was hoping for Nathan Lukes to make the team.
