Brett Lawrie’s Deleted Twitter Rant Even More Laughable Because of Hypocritical Follow-Up
Nothing to see here — just another athlete who made himself look foolish on the Internet.
Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie owns a .179 batting average and enters Friday’s game in the midst of a 2-for-25 slump. Needless to say, he’s an easy target for all baseball fans — especially those with a computer — either amused by or disgruntled about the Blue Jays’ atrocious...
Jays-Rays finale features matchup of 2012 Cy Young winners
For the baseball fans in Tampa Bay who were expecting to see their beloved Rays battling it out with the powers of the American League East on a regular basis, this weeks series with the last place Toronto Blue Jays (13-22) must be at least somewhat frustrating.

The Blue Jays May Not Be a Good Team, But They Can Dance
Brett Lawrie, Jose Bautista and Munenori Kawasaki showed off some of their dance moves this week as the Torointo Blue Jays looked to jump-start their poor 2013 campaign. The Jays spent a large amount of money in the off-season but it hasn’t translated into wins as the team is sitting at a measly 10-18 record and are bottom dwellers in the AL East. Team = Bad. Dance Moves = Good...
Brett Lawrie and Jose Bautista have a dance party. Lawrie needs help.
The Blue Jays have been a disappointment after the coup of a trade they pulled on the Marlins over the winter. Jose Reyes is out with a bum knee, Josh Johnson has been more like Ladybird Johnson and Emilio Bonafacio has contributed as much as I have.

Toronto Blue Jays Showing Creativity With Lineup
On Sunday, we heard that Brett Lawrie was playing 2B for Single-A Dunedin so the Jays can see how he looks at the bag in order to determine if he can indeed play the #4 position on the big league club. This move intrigued me quite a bit. I have no doubt that he could do it and make a successful transition considering how much of an athlete he is AND he started playing there in Milwaukee’s...

Player Profile #86: Brett Lawrie | 3B | TOR
High expectations doomed Brett Lawrie in 2012. While there were definitely positives to be taken from his first full season in the majors, most expected him to be a borderline 20/20 candidate after hitting nine homers and stealing seven bases in a 43-game audition in 2011.I was among those who were let down by Lawrie, but while the power numbers weren’t there — his .132 ISO was...

out at third trying to advance on a ground ball to shortstop. He made another mistake in the fifth inning that led to the go-ahead two-run...
