Berrios Was Great, and Vlad Homered, Jays Win
Photo by Cole Burston/ Red Sox 0 Blue Jays 3 We didn’t get much offense tonight. For the second night in a row, it all came off Vladimir Guerrero’s bat. Vlad hit a three-run homer in the third inning. 108.3 mph, 400 feet. We only had four hits in all, and Vlad had two of them. Alejandro Kirk (double) and Daulton Varsho had the others. Another anemic day for the bats, with them picking up 13 strikeouts and just 1 walk. Everyone in the lineup had at least one strikeout except Vlad. José Berríos was terrific while wearing Roberto Clemente’s number. Seven...

Gausman Was Great, and Springer Homers Twice, Jays Win
Photo by Vaughn Ridley/ Royals 1 Blue Jays 5 Very nice to see the Jays get some runs for Kevin Gausman (maybe he should have cut his hair before the season, his teammates just were not going to score for any damn hippy). We didn’t score until the fourth inning. Opener James McArthur gave the Jays troubles for the first couple of innings, but Zack Greinke wasn’t as lucky. In the fourth, George Springer hit his first home run, a wall scrapper to left field. 380 feet. And we got two more in the fifth. Alejandro Kirk walked, Daulton Varsho doubled, and Springer drove...

Saturday Bantering: No Bo Today
Photo by Vaughn Ridley/ The Jays are giving Bo a day off, easing him into regular play. I’m good with the idea, but I’d guess he will pinch-hit if needed. And no Brandon Belt. They were hoping he could be ready today. Maybe he’ll be available to pinch-hit. Here is today’s lineup: Today's Lineups ROYALS BLUE JAYS Maikel Garcia - 3B George Springer - RF Bobby Witt - SS Spencer Horwitz - DH Salvador Perez - C Vladimir Guerrero - 1B MJ Melendez - LF Davis Schneider - 2B Nelson Velazquez - RF Cavan Biggio - 3B Michael Massey - 2B Alejandro Kirk -...
