Jose Reyes will join #Bisons for games this weekend, #BlueJays will assess where he's at from there. — Shi Davidi (@ShiDavidi) June 19, 2013 Reyes suffered a severely sprained ankle back in mid-April.  The injury occurred as Reyes attempted a slide into second base and bent his ankle awkwardly.  The sprain did not require surgery, but it has required a long, grueling rehab.

Dickey’s 2012 campaign.  In the .GIF you can see the three pitches compared side by side and you can see how insane the pitches actually are. Drew also explained a little more than we ever wanted to know about the knuckleball, and we are glad he did. While traditional pitches create movement through spin induced by grip and arm action (exceptional curveballs have been measured at 2,500-3,000 revolutions per minute) creating high pressure zones that deflect the ball in the opposite direction, the key to the unique movement of the knuckleball is a near complete lack of spin. The ideal knuckleball makes just 1 to 1.5 rotations (~150 RPM) between release and home plate, causing the drag on the ball to shift significantly mid-flight as the leading seam of the ball rotates slightly, resulting in unpredictable and uniquely sudden movemen...

Dickey story by now. Journeyman major leaguer reinvents himself as a knuckleball thrower in his 30s, then refines the pitch to become one of the better starting pitchers in baseball, culminating with his selection as the National League Cy Young Award winner last year. The knuckleball is always a fascinating pitch, and Dickey is a fascinating guy, so there has been no shortage of media attention focused his direction. While I was not working here at FanGraphs last year, I could not resist taking a belated look at some of Dickey’s dominating knuckleballs from that 2012 season.  I’ve selected three particularly impressive pitches from that campaign and used an effect known as StroMotion to help track their movement. While traditional pitches create movement through spin induced by grip and arm action (exceptional curveballs have been measured at 2,500-3,000 revolutions per minute) creating high pressure zones that deflect the ball in the opposite direction, the ...

According to John Lott of the National Post, both Reyes and Morrow are nearing a return.  They have both began minor league rehab assignments with the Class-A affiliate of the Blue Jays.

After taking a couple extra days to heal a blister, Johnson will try to end his drought with another strong outing against the Colorado Rockies on Monday night. After dropping the opener to a six-game trip, Toronto (32-36) responded by winning five in a row and completed a sweep of Texas with a 7-2 victory Sunday. Colby Rasmus homered for the third straight game, and the red-hot Adam Lind had another three hits, including a three-run homer, in that win. Lind is batting .448 with five homers and 15 RBIs in his last 21 games. The Blue Jays haven't won six in a row since May 10-16, 2011, and Johnson (0-2, 5.40 ERA) is seeking his first victory since Sept. 6.

My father was there every step of the way doing everything in his power to see me succeed and achieve my aspirations of major league grandeur. Both my parents were there through thick and thin supporting my outlandish dreams with moral and financial support. I can still hear them telling me to have a backup plan in case the major leagues didn’t pan out, but naively I knew they would. My father spent countless hours coaching my house league teams from T-Ball all the way up until it was time for me to take my baseball endeavours out of town. My dad had no formal baseball training or extensive history playing the sport but dived right in f...

Friday night was the second game of the new and improved Ricky Romero. In a recent article by John Lott of the National Post, Romero said he was "ditching" his new mechanics, and going back to what made him successful. "The biggest thing is confidence, you know?” he said. “It was never anything mechanical. What I told the organization was that I was going back to my old mechanics, plain and simple.” Since that interview, Romero has put together two solid outings. Last week against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, Romero went just under six innings, gave up seven hits, three runs, walked two and struck out three.

At the top of the ninth inning, with two out, Jose Bautista hit a solo home run to tie the game 5-5. At the top of pitch the 10th,  the Jays went ahead 7-5.  Casey Janssen came in to pitch in the bottom of the inning.  Jansssen ran into a little trouble, though.  He gave up a base hit and a walk. With two on base. two out, Chicago’s best player Adam Dunn came to the plate.  I can’t tell you how  nervous I was when Dunn entered the batter’s box.  Dunn already hit a home run earlier in the game and I knew if he’d hit a home run at that point of time, the White Sox would’ve won the game 8-7. Thankfully, Dunn hit a routine ground out to end the game.  Jansse Fri, 14 Jun 2013 22:05:21 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/toronto_blue_jays_chien_ming_wang_has_a_mediocre_debut/13839245 http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/toronto_blue_jays_chien_ming_wang_has_a_mediocre_debut/13839245 Toronto Blue Jays: Chien-Ming Wang has a mediocre debut http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/articles/toronto_blue_jays_chien_ming_wang_has_a_mediocre_debut/13839245 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png In 150 at-bats back in 2011, Brett Lawrie captured our attention and imagination. “If he could hit nine homers in such a short time, Lawrie could have 30-homer potential over the course of a full season,” is likely a sentence you read before the 2012 season. It’s probably a sentence I wrote, as a matter of fact. In the season and a half since though, Lawrie has hit just 16 homers, and has battled a myriad of injuries. He’s just 23-years-old, but perhaps it’s time we stopped waiting for Lawrie to be a star. At this point, Lawrie has started just over half of the Blue Jays’ games at third base — 37 of 65, to be precise. In those 37 games, he’s hit .209/.268/.374. In the other 34 games, his five replacements — Jose Bautista, Mark DeRosa, Edwin Encarnacion, Maicer Izturis and Andy LaRoche — have hit .205/.268/.420. The latter line is fueled in large part by three homers from Encarnacion, but the point is clear — Lawrie has hit very poorly this season — poorly enough that the Jays have not Fri, 14 Jun 2013 16:30:13 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/the_bloom_is_off_brett_lawries_rose/13837709 http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/the_bloom_is_off_brett_lawries_rose/13837709 The Bloom Is Off Brett Lawrie’s Rose http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/articles/the_bloom_is_off_brett_lawries_rose/13837709 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Adam Lind followed up a sublime 2011 campaign with one of the biggest flops of all time. After hitting 26 homers in 2011, he hit only 11 in 2012, and he only scored 28 runs while knocking in a measly 45. Injury clearly had something to do with it, as he only got 353 plate appearances in 2012. Regardless, Lind entered the 2013 fantasy baseball season with an ADP of the 44th first basemen off the board, per Fantasy Pros. To date, Lind is 24th on ESPN’s Player Rater for first basemen, and is 10th over the last 30 days. Lind’s triple slash for the year is .335/.409/.527, all of which would be career bests except for a Lind’s .560 SLG% in 2009. Lind’s ratios are being driven by a couple tings. A career .229 hitter versus lefties, in 22 PA’s so far in 2013, Lind is hitting exactly .500. That certainly won’t continue, but a sharp raise in line drive rate and decrease in ground ball rate over the small sample size lead me to believe that there may be a slightly changed approach versus lefti...

The Blue Jays have sat bunkered in the basement of the American League East since almost day one and have yet to perform up to expectations. The only bright spot thus far is the over used bullpen who has been tremendous to date minimizing the damage as much as humanly possible. The resurgence of Brett Cecil and the consistency of Casey Janssen, Aaron Loup and Steve Delabar has paid huge dividends. It is disturbing to think where in the standings the Jays would be without the bullpen this season who at one point had logged more combined innings than the starting five hurlers. So who could ...
