Jays Lose in Extras
Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports Blue Jays 3 Cardinals 7 (10 innings) I had the ‘stop playing around with the ball every year’ rant early today. This game was exhibit A for that rant. It was another in the ‘frustrating game’ set, collect them all. Balls hit hard don’t fly quite far enough. Balls hit softly stay in the air just long enough to be caught. Jose Berrios had a nice start. He gave up a run in the second and then things went well until the seventh when he seemed to tire in the seventh. He gave up a one-out home run to Juan Yepez. And then back-to-back...

Great Start From Berríos , Jays Beat Mariners
Photo by Cole Burston/ Mariners 0 Blue Jays 3 What a great start by Jose Berrios. 7 innings, 6 hits, 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. He was dominant. He did give up a walk (tight zone by the plate umpire on ‘ball’ four) and a single to start the eighth. I was hoping he’d finish the inning. But David Phelps came in with two on and no outs and worked his way out without allowing a run. On the offensive side, we only scored in one inning, but it was enough. In the second inning, we got three runs: Alejandro Kirk led off with a double. Nicely hit down the left-field line....

Blue Jays: Starter Yusei Kikuchi is having a solid month of May
This offseason, the Blue Jays added southpaw Yusei Kikuchi on a three-year deal worth $36 million, completing the club’s rotation with five solid arms alongside Jose Berrios, Alek Manoah, Kevin Gausman, and Hyun Jin Ryu. While some thought the multi-year pact given his shaky couple of years in Seattle was a bit of an overpay, […] Blue Jays: Starter Yusei Kikuchi is having a solid month of May - Jays Journal - Jays Journal - Toronto Blue Jays News, Rumors and Fan Community

Blue Jays: A former top prospect who is crushing it in AA
Last season, the Toronto Blue Jays pulled off one of the biggest trade deadline acquisitions, acquiring Minnesota Twins Starter Jose Berrios in exchange for top prospects Austin Martin and Simeon Woods-Richardson. At the time, those who valued prospects within the Blue Jays system saw this trade as an overpay, given the fact that Martin wasn’t […] Blue Jays: A former top prospect who is crushing it in AA - Jays Journal - Jays Journal - Toronto Blue Jays News, Rumors and Fan Community

Another Game, Another Loss
Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports Blue Jays 3 Yankees 5 Is there a Groundhog Day thing going on? Every game seems to be similar and frustrating. Today? Well we loaded up the bases, with no outs, in the first, but only scored 1 run. And that was basically the high point of the game. Then, in the bottom of the fourth, Jose Berrios, who was just cruising along, gave up a weak infield single to Anthony Rizzo, a soft ‘line’ single to center, and then a Yankee Stadium special fly ball home run to right field by Gleyber Torres. 361 feet, this one would have been a home run in 6...

An overview of Yusei Kikuchi’s first month with the Blue Jays
This offseason, the Blue Jays made some adjustments to their rotation. They signed Kevin Gausman to a five-year $110 million dollar deal. That has aged wonderfully as Gausman has been one of the best pitchers in baseball so far in 2022. The Jays also gave deadline acquisition, Jose Berrios, a seven-year extension worth $131 million […] An overview of Yusei Kikuchi’s first month with the Blue Jays - Jays Journal - Jays Journal - Toronto Blue Jays News, Rumors and Fan Community

Jays Lose to Guardians
Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports Blue Jays 5 Guardians 4 Jose Berrios had 3 good starts in a row coming into tonight’s game, but he didn’t get the fourth. He gave up 6 runs over the third, fourth and fifth innings. I don’t know. Maybe he doesn’t like pitching in the cold and wet. He gave up 8 hits and a walk and didn’t have a strikeout in his 4.2 innings. Our offense had a pretty decent night. 9 hits and 5 runs. We scored: 2 in the first: Bo singled, and Vlad hit his 7th home run of the season. Only 105 MPH. 2 in the sixth: Bo led off with a single, Vlad was hit...

Jose Berrios gives the Blue Jays exactly what they needed
The Blue Jays picked up a big win over the Red Sox on Monday night, and it was thanks in large part to a badly needed performance from Jose Berrios. The 27 year old right-hander has had a shaky start to the 2022 campaign, entering Monday’s outing with a 6.35 ERA and a 2.029 WHIP […] Jose Berrios gives the Blue Jays exactly what they needed - Jays Journal - Jays Journal - Toronto Blue Jays News, Rumors and Fan Community
