Blue Bird Banter

Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Here is today’s roster move of the day: Nick Robinson is up. Easton Lucas is optioned to the Spring Training Complex. Robinson was a waiver pickup from the Angels on September 17th. He’s a 26-year-old RHP. He pitched in 8 games with the Cardinals, with a 4.38 ERA in 12.1 innings. He walked 2 and struck out 14, which is a pretty great ratio. … [Read more...] about Blue Jays Roster Move: Robertson Up, Lucas Down

Conine has played in 27 games with a .246/.316/406 with 2 home runs. I’m liking Barger at third. And Clase has been one of … [Read more...] about Game #160 GameThread: Marlins @ Jays

Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Happy Friday. Tonight, we have Jose Berrios (16-10, 3.38) going against Adam Oller (1-4, 5.06) and the Marlins. I’m going to miss out.

Over in the Athletic, Jim Bowden has the Jays number five on his biggest … [Read more...] about Friday Bantering: Bits of Jays Stuff
