Notes from an MLB Amateur: You Poor Toronto Blue Jays

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:24:31 +1900

You poor, poor Toronto Blue Jays. Sometimes life just isn't fair. Between Alex Rios becoming a cornerstone, Roy Halladay having another career year, and Vernon Wells looking like the slugger of old, this team had high aspirations of finally making it back to the playoffs. Somebody didn't tell the Tampa Bay Rays, who leaped right over the Jays and stole their thunder. And guess what? Now nobody notices the vast improvements the Jays have made. Roy Halladay is beginnging to become the face of the franchise. Sure, he's no Curt Schilling or Randy Johnson, but he consistently wins 15+ games and is in the top-five in strikeouts. Even when the team has been had, he's been good. Alex Rios has yet to live up to the contract Toronto gave him. That being said, he has been consistent, albeit somewhat mediocre. He has the strength and speed to be a season-to-season, 30-90-30 guy, with at least a close-to-.300 average. Outside of Greg Zaun, the team has picked ...

Do you still have any hope?

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:26:36 +1900

Sidney Ponson and the Yankee bullpen was terrible last night, and the Yankee bats were frozen - again - against Roy Halladay. But last night’s loss wouldn’t have been so bad if it weren’t for the feeling that the season is slipping away, and that every game is a must-win. Is the season lost? It sure feels that way. There hasn’t really been much this year to get excited about - as I noted earlier in the comments section, I haven’t even had a reason to do the Snoopy Dance this year. But what surprises me is that fans aren’t more outraged at the lethargic play of the Yanks. Maybe the team’s putting us all to sleep with their lousiness or something. Why do you think this is? Is it just that fans see this as a transition year? Could the Yankees still turn it around? Yes, but they’d have to play like a different team, something that they haven’t done for most of the year. And I’m not very confident that this will happen. What do ...

Yankees-Blue Jays: Toronto Steamrolls Over New York In 14-3 Victory

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 04:20:52 +1900

Another day, another gem for Cy Young candidate Roy Halladay. Not that he really needed it as the Toronto Blue Jays put their foot on the throat of the New York Yankees today with a 14-3 thrashing. Halladay could have potentially lengthened his lead in complete games today but was taken out after throwing only 95 pitches. He had completed seven innings of work and has shown that he is capable of throwing 120-130 pitches a game. Although Halladay could have gone for another complete game, Cito Gaston made the right move in pulling Halladay from the game and saving his arm for his next start, especially considering that the Jays held a commanding ten run lead at that point in the game. Halladay's only blemish on the evening came in the seventh inning. With two men on, Hideki Matsui took a high fastball and deposited over the outfield fence. This is probably what caused Gaston to relieve Halladay of his start after the inning. In those seven innings, Halladay gave up three runs on just five ...

Ponson Pounced, Yankees Drop Finale to Blue Jays

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 02:43:03 +1900

The New York Yankees were squashed by the Toronto Blue Jays Thursday night, losing 14-3. Sidney Ponson pitched for the Yankees, and did not bring his game with him. Ponson went a meager two innings, gave up seven earned runs on eight hits, walked one, and did not record a strikeout. Roy Halladay started for the Bluebirds. He was superb, going seven innings and giving up three runs on five hits. Halladay walked two and struck out nine. The Jays started their offensive onslaught in the bottom of the first inning, getting an RBI single from Alex Rios to score Joe Inglett. In the bottom of the second, the Jays added another run with an RBI and sacrifice fly from Rod Barajas to score Adam Lind, and the Blue Jays jumped out to a 2-0 lead. The Jays broke out and scored five times in the bottom of the third inning, getting offensive contributions from Rios, Lind, and John McDonald, who all recorded RBI in the frame. The inning lasted nearly 26 minutes. In the bottom of the ...

Jair Jurrjens' Chance for ROY Being Hindered by Atlanta Braves' Bats and Defense

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:47:29 +1900

About a week ago, when John Kruk said that Geovany Soto was easily the Rookie of the Year in the National League, he clearly didn't do his homework. Whether the snub was intentional or not, Jair Jurrjens and the Braves should feel disrespected about not even being part of the conversation. After Tuesday night's loss against the Mets put Jurrjens' record at 11-9 with a 3.28 ERA, I took a closer look at the 22-year-old's performances this season and wondered why, with that ERA, his record isn't better. First, I remembered that he's playing on a team that's faded (putting it lightly). Second, he's now the ace of the staff, since Hudson, Smoltz, and Glavine have been lost for the season. The Mets' Mike Pelfrey pitched well tonight and got the win, but to be honest, he's been very inconsistent. He's been great at times and absolutely awful at others. Thanks to a lack of run support, shoddy defense behind him, and scorekeepers' rulings, Jurrjens has endured quite a run of tough luck in his first ...

Roy Halladay Strengthens Cy Young Bid as Blue Jays Defeat Red Sox

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 08:48:27 +1900

In a rematch from last week, Roy Halladay (14-9) was the victor over brand new Red Sox player Paul Byrd (7-11). The game ended in a 4-1 score. Roy Halladay vastly out-pitched Byrd. Halladay threw his major league leading eighth complete game, giving up just one run on seven hits with one walk, while striking out only four batters. Halladay was able to silence the Red Sox hitters and only ran into trouble in the first couple of innings. After that the game seemed to be a breeze for him. The complete game win strengthened Halladay's bid for his second career Cy Young as he lowered his ERA to a minuscule 2.64. He also has the lowest WHIP among starters, third most wins, second most strikeouts, most innings, most complete games, and most shutouts. If that is not Cy Young worthy, then I don't know what is. Halladay was within one inning of his third shutout of the season, but light hitting Dustin Pedroia managed to capitalize on Halladay's only mistake of the night, sending the ball over the ...
