Braves Starter Kris Medlen Gets Smoked
The Toronto Blue Jays not only beat the Braves 3-0 Wednesday night. They delivered a knockout blow to Braves starter Kris Medlen in the second inning. With runners on second and third, Blue Jays’ second baseman Emilio Bonifacio hit a shot off Medlen’s right calf that he legged out for a hit. When play stopped, Medlen walked gingerly around the mound, and after the Braves...
Medlen's string of misfortune at home continues with injury
ATLANTA Laryngitis could not keep Kris Medlen off the mound Wednesday night. A hard-hit ball off the bat of Emilio Bonifacio could.
Medlen's string of tough luck at Turner Field this season continued as Bonafacio's hit struck him in the upper left calf in the second inning and, after finishing the Atlanta half of the frame, sent him to the trainer's room after it tightened...

MLB Quarter Mark: Are The Toronto Blue Jays Turning It Around?
The Toronto Blue Jays are turning their season around
When Alex Anthopolous made 3 defining moves this off-season, acquiring Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Emilio Bonifacio, and John Buck from the Miami Marlins, signing the 2012 MLB all-star game MVP Melky Cabrera, and acquiring R.A. Dickey from the New York Mets, many people, including myself were ready to hand...
Hamate Break Halts Jorge Bonifacio’s Breakout Season
If you knew Emilio Bonifacio‘s younger brother was an outfield prospect in the Kansas City Royals’ farm system, you might assume the two are roughly similar. But Emilio — a speedy, switch-hitting, utility man for the Toronto Blue Jays — and Jorge have little in common, at least when it comes to their games. Jorge, the younger of the pair, is a burly right fielder with a...
15 Useful Fantasy Options from the MLB Basement
We’re roughly a quarter of the way through the baseball season, and it shouldn’t be a shock to most people that the Houston Astros and the Miami Marlins are in last place in their respective divisions. I doubt many folks expected the Blue Jays or Dodgers to be cellar dwellers in mid-May, though. Teams that are having a rough go of it in reality can still provide serviceable fantasy...
3 Stars of the Game: Game 38, Mothers Day
Ryan Macleod
Contributing Writer
Did someone tell the Blue Jays that the home run derby was today? Nope? Well it sure looked like it, or maybe the ball looked like a watermelon for those hitters who went deep 5 times today in a disappointing effort on mothers day. The loss was the Red Sox 8th in their last 10 games and the team that was once dominating the Major Leagues is now getting...
Blue Jays connect for five homers
Jose Bautista hit two of Toronto's five home runs, and the Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 12-4 Sunday to take two of three in the weekend series.
Emilio Bonifacio, Edwin Encarnacion and Brett Lawrie also homered for the Blue Jays, who have won just seven of their last 20 and are last in the AL East at 15-24.
Chad Jenkins (1-0) got his second major league win and first since...
Shane Victorino Getting Ribs, Back Checked Out at Hospital After Crashing Into Right-Field Wall
Knowing Boston’s appreciation for players who are “dirt dogs,” Shane Victorino probably made a lot of fans on Sunday.
Victorino crashed into the right-field fence while trying to rob Toronto’s Emilio Bonifacio of a home run in the fourth inning. The play left Victorino laying on the ground in pain, but he got back to his feet and stayed in the game until manager John Farrell...

Shane Victorino went to the hospital on Sunday to have his ribs and back examined after he crashed into the right field wall at Fenway Park trying to catch a home run ball.
Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Emilio Bonifacio hit a bomb to right field with a man on in the top of the fourth inning against the Boston Red Sox. Victorino, who was playing right, raced back to try making...
Who Is To Blame For Blue Jays Struggles?
Lately I’ve been finding fanatical claims from some Jays fans or general MLB followers rather ill-informed because they make grandiose statements like “the Blue Jays were going to be bad because the Marlins were bad with these same players.” Or else they blame Manager John Gibbons for what has occurred on the field as if he can swing the bat or pitch the ball for his players...
Toronto Blue Jays: Most Disappointing Team So Far in 2013?
About a week before Thanksgiving last November, the Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays engaged in the first blockbuster trade of the off-season. The Marlins were coming off a last place finish in the National League East, becoming one of the year’s biggest disappointments. Instead of keeping the nucleus together for one more try, they decided to engage in one of their patented...
With Struggling Sluggers, When Do Teams Hit The Panic Button?
For fans, April is a month to make the first of innumerable rash judgements concerning the fortitude of their favorite franchise. It’s a time to bask in the promise of time tested heroes, and learn the names on the back of the high numbered jerseys. It’s also a time for some fanbases to lose all hope (Miami), panic about the long term implications of a big offseason signing...
Who Will be the Next Marlin Traded?
Marlins fans shouldn’t be fooled into thinking that the teams offloading of players was exclusive to last season. The fish still have a number of pieces whom they can move and acquire some prospects in return. The trades last year and this offseason of Hanley Ramirez, Heath Bell, Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, and Emilio Bonifacio … Continue reading »
April 18: Toronto 3, White Sox 1
The White Sox were unable to win the series against the Blue Jays, falling 3-1 today to earn a split against the team from north of the border. With that, our Palehose end the road trip with a less than stellar 3-7 record, and you can bet the house that Robin and the boys are more than happy to head back to the Southside.
Sale’s Start
Well, it certainly was an...
Why are the Blue Jays panicking already?
The Toronto Blue Jays are 5-7 after two weeks of baseball. Shortstop Jose Reyes has a severely sprained ankle, and will miss three months of action. Of course, considering all of the hype surrounding the Jays this winter, their lack of success this year has plenty of people wondering what's wrong with them and whether or not they're just this year's version of the 2012...

Don’t Sleep on Prince Fielder’s Speed
At two different points in yesterday’s Tigers-Blue Jays game in Detroit, it appeared the game could hinge on, of all things, Prince Fielder’s speed. The Tigers scored a run in the bottom of the first after Fielder beat out what looked like a sure double play ball. Later, with a two-run lead in the sixth, Fielder legged out an infield single to give the Tigers two on with two...

"Here, it's a different mentality. We're going to turn it around...

Maybe everyone in Miami is so preoccupied with the Heat's winning streak that baseball isn't on the minds of South Floridians.
The Miami Marlins' home opener is Monday, April 8, but it looks like the team is in panic mode to sell tickets. The franchise, about to begin a second season in its new ballpark, has turned to GroupOn for some help .
