Roy Halladay: Philadelphia Phillies Must, Not Should, Acquire The Ace
Roy Halladay could be on the move.
Ken Rosenthal first reported yesterday that the Toronto Blue Jays will listen to offers about their stud ace, Roy Halladay, speculation started to fly around the sports world as if Brett Favre was considering a comeback.
Pedro Would Like You To Know He Can Still Throw A Baseball
The Toronto Blue Jays pretty much have no starting pitchers… except Scott Richmond who was awesome against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. But we’ll just go ahead and pretend he’s not making some sort of great turn-around for the sake of this argument.
Alex Rios: Ole!
Alex Rios went o-for-5 Thursday with not four, but five strikeouts in the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. In the unforgiving world of baseball, we call that a platinum sombrero. This is his second career five-strikeout game, which is pretty tough to accomplish.
Jays second baseman Aaron Hill also went 0-for-5 in the loss, but did not whiff every single time. In fact, he managed an RBI grounder in the seventh. Still, he remains hitless over hit last 20 at bats.
Way to go, guys!
I’m Your Huckleberry
Roy Halladay chewed up and spit out one Los Angeles Angels batter after another Tuesday, fanning a career-high 14 in the Toronto Blue Jays’ 6-4 victory.
The unbelievably awesome right-hander, hunting down his second AL Cy Young Award, earned his big league-best ninth win for his second complete game of the season. He allowed four runs with no walks and seven hits in his sixth straight decision, lowering his ERA to 2.77. Awesome.
Lester Has Great Start, Sox Win 8-2
Jon Lester started the season slowly, his record fell fast to a 3-5 start. He needed a big win, and today he got a great start. Lester went through 6 innings, giving only three hits on one run and having his bullpen give a solid last three.
Big Papi’s Slump Buster Worked
Well, it took forever, but David Ortiz has finally busted his slump. We’ll let you contemplate the ways.
In the fifth inning of Wednesday night’s 8-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, the Boston Red Sox designated hitter nailed a two-run shot off rookie Brett Cecil to straightaway center for his first longball of the season.
