The first part of the sixth edition, from last Friday, is linked here for your convenience. Now, that was some week of baseball we just watched, starting last Friday. There were so many comebacks and close competitions, and also some scores that...
Dugout Digest - the first shrimp of the year
Whenever a team wins a game on a walkoff walk, fans go crazy. It's called the shrimp alert, and people go nuts over it (myself included). On Thursday night in Tampa Bay, we had our first shrimp of the season, and it went to...Luke Scott, of all players. Aaron Loup left the game for Toronto with men on first and second, and he was replaced by Brad Lincoln. Lincoln walked Ryan...
Rays 5, Blue Jays 4(10)
Luke Scott drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the 10th inning to give the Tampa Bay Rays a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night.
Scott fell behind 0-2 in the count before taking four straight balls from Brad Lincoln. The Rays loaded the bases on Evan Longoria's double off Aaron Loup (1-3) and two walks.
The game featured a rare matchup of reigning...
Toronto Blue Jays: The pitching needs work
The Toronto Blue Jays are last in the American League East standings with a dismal 9-14 record. Not exactly what Blue Jays fans were expecting when the team got all that All-Star talent during the off-season. On the morning of the team’s Opening Day, the media in Toronto were already predicting the Jays were going to make the playoffs. As for me, I thought they (the reporters...
Rank Relief: The Blue Jays are supposed to be good, right?
Aaron Loup might be looking at the game winning single or glaring at Alexi Casilla. We’ll never know.
The Blue Jays are only 8-12. On pace for a record of not good. This one is tough though…I was going back and forth whether or not to file this one under rank relief. This wasn’t really too much of Aaron Loup’s fault, but he got the loss nonetheless. Let’s give quick...
Orioles 2, Blue Jays 1
Nick Markakis singled home the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the Baltimore Orioles a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night.
Toronto reliever Aaron Loup (1-2) began the ninth by hitting Chris Davis with a pitch. After a sacrifice bunt, Steve Pearce popped out and Nolan Reimold received an intentional walk before Alexi Casilla...
Yankees 5, Blue Jays 3(11)
Blue Jays reliever Aaron Loup made a two-run throwing error in the 11th inning and the New York Yankees beat Toronto 5-3 on Saturday for their ninth win in 11 games.
Shawn Kelley (0-1) got two outs in the 10th for the win and Mariano Rivera finished for his fifth save.
Vernon Wells and Francisco Cervelli singled off Loup (1-1) to begin the 11th, and Ichiro Suzuki followed with...
Viciedo of White Sox has oblique strain
The Chicago White Sox say outfielder Dayan Viciedo is undergoing treatment for a strained oblique muscle.
Viciedo was injured in Thursday's game at Toronto, and the team says he is day to day.
He clutched his left side after swinging at a 1-0 pitch from Aaron Loup in the eighth inning and left the game. Viciedo is batting .229 with two homers and five RBIs.
The White Sox were...
Dunedin Dispatches: Week 5
A quiet week, for the most part, and one in which I've worked too many hours leads to a late and short entry this week. With two weeks (less now) to go until opening day, the fucus has narrowed to a few key concerns:1. Whither Ricky Romero? In the wake of yesterdays first game-action trial of his mechanical adjustment, questions abound. Given AA's response to questions I...
Dunedin Dispatches: Week 3
The Dusty Edition! Now with no lambchops (thank the gods, I much prefer the new look).Yes as you might imagine, THE big story for me this week is the rekindling of the elusive dream of watching a healthy Dustin McGowan take baseball by storm. Yes, I know I know the odds have to be astronomical, but as long as HE believes, I believe. The Jays are saying, obviously, that his opportunity...
2012 Positional Rankings: Relievers
I'll open this brief post with the caveat which always applies when considering future major league relievers - a lot of them are minor league starters. One need look no further than Chad Jenkins. His odds of being a productive long term major league pitcher are substantially higher in the bullpen than in the rotation. Among those who've already appeared on the starter lists...
4/5 Farm Report
Technically a couple of days early but I have the time for this right now. As always my goal is to highlight a dozen players or so who are greatly increasing their standing in the organization over the season so far, withan emphasis on the last month or so.Pitchers1. Roberto Osuna (RHP) - the 17 year old made a kinda good impression in his first start for the Vancouver Canadians...
