Two home runs and a double and a single (he could have had a fourth RBI, but up by seven Vlad didn’t try to score from second, He would score on Wagner’s single right after), three RBIs. He wants a spot on the team next year. Nathan Lukes and Will Wagner had three hits. Ernie Clement … [Read more...] about Horwitz Homers Twice, Jays Beat Braves

I like many things about Kirk’s defense, but his throwing has surprised me this year. … [Read more...] about Offense Missing, Jays Lose To Braves

He has a 0 ERA in 8.1 innings with the Bisons since we grabbed him August 10th. But then he had a 9.95 ERA in 6.1 innings with the Diamondbacks earlier in the season.
