Never understand changing the way postseason managers letting the hipster beard, man bun, khaki wearing front office types setting strategy & then exiting in two games. Dance with who brung ya & grow a pair.

#BlueJays have seven series remaining in 2026 - all against teams that are currently under .500 (Royals, Athletics, Orioles (2), Tigers, Rangers and Reds). The ball is clearly in their court.

#BlueJays postseason hardness from last year's World Series run finally surfaced over the last 2 games in Cleveland. Now a 1/2 game back in the Wild Card, no team around them in the race should want to face them with 21 games left on their sked. Buck's return to Rogers Centre flipped the karma.

Sure love how the roars of #BlueJays fans were so prevalent at The covernous Trop this week.

The Pete Alonso fair/foul HR debate from last night that the #MLB review room botched in NY clearly just adds fuel to #Yankees getting preferential treatment. There I said...

Always enjoyable when #BlueJays beat #Yankees on Apple TV, after they snubbed our national anthem, and then manager Aaron Boone blows a head gasket & get the old heave ho for the 50th time in his 9 seasons at the helm. Oh ya, and by the way, he still hasn't won the World Series. Just sayin...

#BlueJays pitching staff have kept them in games, helping them grind out close wins, with its last four victories decided by two runs or fewer. Only two teams have been better at preventing runs in their wins this season, and one of them is Toronto's opponent tonight.

#BlueJays are 6-3 vs #RedSox this season, winning all 5 games in which they scored first. Toronto has now won 12 straight when scoring vs Boston, dating back to 2024. It's one of the longest streaks vs any divisional foe in franchise history.

Another wasted gem by Dylan Cease, who's posted an 0.84 ERA & a 35.9% K rate over his last 6 starts, thanks to #BlueJays offense coughing up a 1-for-19 furball with RISP. This is getting beyond old.

No American League players have generated a higher percentage of their team's RBIs this season than #Astros Yordan Alvarez (16.7%) & #BlueJays Kazuma Okamoto (16.4%). Okamoto's would be the highest rate by an AL rookie since José Abreu accounted for 17.1% of the #WhiteSox runs batted in in 2014.

#BlueJays Vladimir Guerrero Jr. now 71 games & 305 plate apps since he last hit a regular season HR at Rogers Centre. In the lineup at DH this afternoon where his slash line is .180\.196.\.260, with a 21.6% K rate this season.

Scott Carson @statsboy666.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
Coming into today's game vs the Cardinals, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has not hit a regular season HR at Rogers Centre since August 17, 2025, spanning 70 games & 300 plate appearances. This is the biggest, unexplained mystery of this uneven 2026 #BlueJays season.

Let's be honest for a minute. The Americanization of the World Cup has been an abject failure. Full stop.

Solid showing by #BlueJays All-Stars. Dylan Cease strikes out 3 of the 4 batters he faced, Ernie #ErnDawg Clement with a web gem & Louis Varland with a scoreless hold. Well done, eh🇨🇦

If strikeouts & little discernible action are your thing then what an #2026All-StarGame !

With his solo HR in the 6th, #BlueJays Kazuma Okamoto become just the 5th AL rookie with 20+ prior to the All-Star break over the past 35 seasons.

Scott Carson @statsboy666.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
#BlueJays are 6 outs from setting a franchise low for fewest hits over a 3-game span. With only 2 hits tonight, they have just 6 in the last 3 days, 2 shy of the 1981 team that had only 8 hits from May 13-15 that season.

#BlueJays Jeff Hoffman has not allowed an earned run in each of his last 11 relief appearances since June 9 (11.1 IP).

#BlueJays Kazuma Okamoto had a pair of hits in Toronto's series finale against the Mets, his 5th multi-hit effort in his last 9 games. Okamoto is closing in on the franchise record for most total bases by a rookie before the AllStar break. He sits at 141, Eric Hinske had 143 in 2002 (ROY)

Scott Carson @statsboy666.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
#BlueJays are on pace to score its fewest runs per game in almost 30 years (4.04 in 1997), while the Mariners are on pace to score their fewest runs per game in more than a decade (4.05 in 2015). So, of course this means a high scoring 3-game set is imminent.

#BlueJays Braydon Fisher has now made 6 starts this season as an "opener". 6.2 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 5 BB, 8 K.

Textbook #BlueJays 2026 rally (sic) to open Canada Day. Infield single, double, infield RBI single, flyout, walk, popout, strikeout. Only 1 run. Bases left loaded.

With Sean Manaea slated to start the series opener for the Mets on Monday, #BlueJays Ernie Clement hopes to continue swinging a hot stick (.354 avg) off southpaws at home this season.

Scott Carson @statsboy666.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
Kazuma Okamoto is looking to become the first #BlueJays rookie to lead the team in RBI since Doug Ault (64) in their inaugural 1977 season (tied with Ron Fairly).

Scott Carson @statsboy666.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
For the first in franchise history #BlueJays have been scored upon in the first inning in 7 straight games. The old record 6 happened 4 other times, most recently in late July, Early August of 2024.

Milestones in back-to-back at bats. Alejandro Kirk with his 500th career hit (solo HR) & Sean Keys with his 1st career hit (single) #BlueJays

Shane Bieber is the 9th pitcher in #BlueJays history to allow 3 home runs in a row. The last time was Chase Anderson on 9/17/2020 at NYY

While I don't care for watching the Mets on a regular basis on MLB's various national broadcasts, I do enjoy enjoy watching them lose on a regular basis. It's become my personal guilty pleasure. Thank you Rob Manfred.

Always enjoy the Mets being shown on national broadcasts getting it handed it to them. This will be Rob Manfred's legacy.

Time for first ballot Hall-of-Famers Justin Verlander & Max Scherzer to step away from the game. After age 40 health is tough to wrangle. Don't make fans remember where you currently sit, instead of what you once were.

Chicago is awash with #BlueJays fans, after washing yesterday's embarrassing loss out of their hair. Be safe, y'all.

Any momentum #BlueJays left Boston with following their three game sweep of the Red Sox dissipated somewhere between Boston & Chicago.

#BlueJays Kevin Gausman throws 44 pitches as the Cubs score a touchdown in the first inning, walking 4. Yesterday, Trey Yesavage didn't throw his 44th pitch until the 4th innng.

#BlueJays Davis Schneider must love chowdah. With a HR & 2B to lead his team to a 6-1 win in Boston, "Schneids" is now hitting .375 (12-32), with 3 HR, 7 RBI & 1.161 OPS in 12 career games at Fenway Park. His team is 9-3 in those games.

Sitting in my hotel a block from Fenway, prepping tomorrow's #BlueJays #RedSox battle of the underachievers, while watching Brad Lauer, with the #Dodgers no less & wondering what has happened between Game 7 of the 2025 World Series & this grossly bland .472 win% start to 2026.

Scott Carson @statsboy666.bsky.social · 13/06/2026
Looking at all the empty red seats tonight at Fenway Park, I've gotta give props to #RedSoxNation They refuse to shell out their hard earned $$$ to watch a sub-standard product. It'll be interested to see for myself when #BlueJays visit for three starting next Tuesday.

#BlueJays Kazuma Okamoto is picking up hits with more frequency in June & the main reason has been his performance against fastballs, where his .471 batting average this month is among the AL leaders. Okamoto has 20 hits this season vs pitches 95+ MPH, tied for the 3rd most in the AL.

Scott Carson @statsboy666.bsky.social · 13/06/2026
Coming off his scorching performance against NYY in last year's ALDS, where he had 9 hits in the final 3 games, #BlueJays Ernie Clement got right back at them with 6 more knocks during last month's series in the Bronx. Clement is batting .652 against New York over his last 7 games.

Scott Carson @statsboy666.bsky.social · 13/06/2026
#BlueJays have found success vs. the Yankees because their offense thrives on putting the ball in play. 2026 is the 6th consecutive season that they've ranked inside MLB's top 10 in contact rate, the longest active streak overall. Toronto's contact rate has been above 75% in all six seasons.

Scott Carson @statsboy666.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
#BlueJays Dylan Cease, with 11 Ks thru the first 6 innings tonight, makes him the first A.L. starting pitcher to surpass the 100 K plateau this season. Unfortunately his team has only averaged 3.48 runs of support per game, which ranks him 190th in #MLB this season.

Scott Carson @statsboy666.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
Hard to fathom that on June 9th, Vlad Guerrero Jr. would have more stolen bases (5) than home runs (3). One of the #BlueJays bigger mysteries of this 2026 season.

#BlueJays have won 12 of the 15 matchups vs the Atlanta Braves since 2021. It's Toronto's best record against any opponent during that stretch & Atlanta's worst mark against any foe.
