One thing that stood out for me about Lloyd Robertson was his deft work hosting CBC’s Olympics coverage during the 70s.

Since Trey Yesavage doesn’t have much drop and drive to his delivery, there’s a lot of force on that landing leg.
Note to Jays: if you need another set of eyes at next year’s Euros….

D.M. Fox@dmfox.bsky.social · 2d agoI’m hearing from a source that the Jays are heavily in on a pair of players from Italy, and two from the Netherlands. They’ve had some success with Sem Robberse from the latter, and Giaconino Lasaracina and Giacomo Taschin from the former. Maybe that’s where the acquired bonus pool $ is going.

Call me crazy, but I think Shane Bieber is going to finish this season strong.
A huge welcome to my new followers! You can find my work in the Toronto Star, hear/watch me on @sportsnet590thefan.bsky.social. You can also find my latest book, “The Howleyites: Toronto’s Changing City, a Stadium Rising, and the Champions of 1926,” by August Publishing just about anywhere.
Update for those of you following the dog show adventures of my wife Sherry and our American cocker spaniel: Mabel won her first points this weekend in Barrie!
There was considerable debate about whether to start Arjun Nimmala in A-ball or hold him back in Extended for a month until the FCL season began in 2024.He was the youngest player in his draft yr. Wonder if things might have turned out differently if he had gone to the FCL first.
Arjun Nimmala’s tools are obvious to anyone who has watched him. Somehow, the production never quite measured up.
Varsho’s arm isn’t the cannon it once was. He knows it, I think. He’s hurrying throws that have a bit of an arc just to get rid of it, rather than taking a crow hop and throwing it on a line.
An RBI double for Sean Keys this afternoon was his first XBH since he was optioned back to Buffalo two weeks ago.
Jo Jo hits a monster blast, not a whole lot to report on in today's #BlueJays farm system update. But what a blast it was. /1
Jo Jo Parker is going to be very good. Be sure to follow for more expert analysis.
Buck is certainly deserving of the Level of Excellence, but I wouldn’t describe his tenure as Manager iconic.
Man, if Gausman’s glove was any bigger, he could play jai alai with it.
Jays have to make a decision on Gage Stanifer’s future role soon. Walks are killing him.
Kids are jumping off the pier behind the grain elevators, boats are coming in after a day on Georgian Bay, paddlers are plying Collingwood’s inner harbour, and we’re waiting for a local Shakespeare production. Winters can be long here, but my adopted hometown is a great place to live.
Guys, Caleb Joseph seems to be doing really well with crypto at the other place. I think he’s about to buy his third home.
I’ve paddled on these with two kids, a wife, a cocker spaniel, and camping gear. It ain’t for the feint of heart. The wind comes fairly galloping down the Madawaska Valley across Smoke.

Willie MacIvers a huge night at the plate for Buffalo, Wilkerson helps C’s Holden on, and the Fantastic Four saves the day for Dunedin. Transport yourself to an alternate universe for today’s #BlueJays farm report. /1

What a night for Dunedin’s Fantastic Four plus one. Thanks to Eli Fishman, D-Jays media director, for the post-game notes.
Yet another fringe group?

The ice dumping thing is getting old. How about you go on a decent winning streak first?
@kileymcd.bsky.social hoping for a follow so that I can speak to you about the Blue Jays top draft picks for a @thestar.com article I’m working on.
