Baltimore Orioles The Baltimore Orioles have once again proven the kids are good! While the O’s began the year chasing the Yankees for the top spot in the AL East, after a massive series at Camden Yards, Baltimore has taken over first in the division once again, and they haven’t looked back.

The Toronto Blue Jays open up a three-game homestand against the Minnesota Twins Friday night and there’s a notable change in their lineup: Davis Schneider is batting leadoff. While his .383 on-base percentage and 148 OPS+, tops on the Jays, are enough for him to be deserving of the spot, it comes on a day when George Springer is out with an illness. A more permanent change, skipper John Schneider said, is up in the air. “I’m not ready to pull the plug on George,” he said, via MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson. “He’s still a huge part of our team. We’ll see how it goes tonight.” Springer’s strugg ..read more

MLB pundits might be the only ones who recognize the “quarter pole,” but nearly one-fourth through the season, the Toronto Blue Jays have underwhelmed. Their 17-20 record is less than ideal, and they find themselves staring up at every other team in the American League East. Because their offensive woes date back to last season, making excuses for the Blue Jays is like standing up for your delinquent kid, who you know doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt, but you give it to them, anyway. The bullpen is in shambles, they can’t score runs, and three mainstays in their lineup have contributed ..read more

The Blue Jays came into Tuesday’s series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies losers in nine of their last 12, desperately needing to show a sense of urgency while facing the best team in baseball. Instead, they were outhit, outpitched and watched their manager get ejected for losing his composure over what he believed was a blown check swing call on Kyle Schwarber.
