Big Night For Teoscar Hernandez

When the Toronto Blue Jays called up outfielder Teoscar Hernandez on April 13, he tore up the Major Leagues for his first week or so.

Jaime Garcia Pitches Better, But Still Not Great

On Wednesday, we warned you not to start Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jaime Garcia against the Seattle Mariners.

Brach should get the save opportunities until […]

Andrew Cashner Has Decent Start But Gets No-Decision

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Andrew Cashner went six innings and all he got was a lousy ND by his name. He gave up three runs and struck out three while walking two. He looks like he's slowly fitting in, but his 4.84 is still not something you want to start on a regular basis. See […]
