108: It will be R-I-P if Blue Jays don’t figure out what’s going on with R-I-S-P.

Hallelujah, praise the Lord - the Toronto Blue Jays went 3-for-8 (.375) with runners in scoring position versus the New York Yankees on Wednesday!

108: Just like 2015, Blue Jays about to face pivotal June

Two words: Crisis. Averted.

I don’t know what else to tell you folks, it’s some bad baseball being played out there by the Blue Jays. So if you’re a fan of the team, you have take wins any way you can get ‘em.

108: R.A. Dickey - not the knuckleball - responsible for slow starts

R.A. Dickey is now in his fourth season with the Toronto Blue Jays, and every April fans have had to listen to the same drawn-out excuses as to why the knuckleballer - and former Cy Young award winner - starts so damn slow.

108: What Tulowitzki needs to match his career average

I won’t lie, it was pretty disheartening watching Troy Tulowitzki take the first three pitches he saw in Monday’s opener against the San Francisco Giants. Not only were they three called strikes, but they were also three absolute MEATBALLS served up by Giants starter Jake Peavy

108: Why Donaldson hits second

With the Blue Jays’ offence struggling like nobody could have predicted, many short-wicked fans have taken to social media to advocate for drastic change.

108: Playoff teams don’t (*usually*) start this slowly

Well, it’s official. The Toronto Blue Jays’ slow start - in particular their 10-1 drubbing at the hands of Chris Sale and the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday - drove me to do something I never thought possible:

108: Similar record early-on but different storylines for Jays in 2016

The American League East winning Toronto Blue Jays were 8-7 after 15 games a year-ago, the same record they held in 2016 (literally as I write this catcher Josh Thole is being charged with a game ending passed ball, costing the Jays their ninth win in 16 games. It wasn’t even a damn knuckleball for cryin’ out loud!)

108: Blue Jays can’t afford to blow early divisional games

Blue Jays fans might be feeling a bit better after Wednesday’s 7-2 win over the New York Yankees, but in reality the win is more like a band-aid for what’s been a series of self-inflicted wounds to start their team’s season.

108: Blue Jays' early strikeout rate shocking, but not concerning

Even though the Blue Jays split their opening series against the Tampa Bay Rays, it’s hard to imagine any Jays fan feeling good about the team’s start.

108: For his own good, Martin should not catch Dickey in 2016

Toronto Blue Jays’ catcher Russell Martin may have a secret weapon in the clubhouse this season. If I’m right, it would be great news for Jays fans, and awful news for fans of everybody else.

108: Just how good is Troy Tulowitzki? (spoiler: he’s really good)

Toronto Blue Jays’ shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is not your typical superstar -

Sorry, let me rephrase.

Troy Tulowitzki is not your typical superstar ... in this millennium.

108: Warning to Jays fans, tickets are going fast

If you’re under the age of 30, then 2015 was likely the first time you’ve ever had to grovel for Blue Jays tickets.

108: Colabello, Smoak trying to be answer to ... Who's on first?

Spring Training is supposed to be the time where all those burning off-season questions are answered. And even though the Blue Jays have only played six games (and one split-squad contest), some of the main story lines are already beginning to become a lot less suspenseful.

108: Spring is here, time to study up Jays fans

Alright, I’ll admit, I’m finding it hard to believe that Spring Training has already begun down in Dunedin, Florida. Not that I’m complaining or anything, I just can’t help but feel like the season somehow snuck up on me. The fact that there will be a televised Blue Jays baseball game still seems surreal.
