Only Blue Jays fans, reacting to a video of Orelvis smashing a ball to smithereens, would ask: what about his defence?

Did a hit earlier with Global News Vancouver for a feature they’re doing on Arjun Nimmala.

Stand on the shield of Canada? Did DoFo write that ad copy himself?

The plight of JT Realmuto got me thinking about Ding Dong Bell, as documented in Jim Bouton’s iconic Ball Four.

Jordan Romano can certainly dial it up, but it appears he no longer has swing-and-miss stuff.

Doug’s a big believer in democracy, as long as he gets to make the rules.

The sneaky feeling like creeping underwear that DoFo is plotting his run for the PC leadership once Skippy is set afloat on an iceberg…

There are some holes in the story of the 1st recorded baseball game - ever -in Canada in 1838, written a half century after it supposedly happened. But it’s also plausible, given the author’s recall of the details: sabr.org/journal/arti...

It’s now in the hands of my editor. A year’s worth of research, thought, and writing. I know this hard copy will come back with a plethora of suggested changes, but it’s only going to make the final version better.

Still wondering what to get Dad for Father’s Day? My books are Dad-approved, judging from the feedback of sons and daughters who went to Amazon to order.

Today was a good day for baseball, but an even better one to hike the Bruce Trail.

Among the many things I like about watching Vancouver’s Gage Stanifer pitch is how quickly he works. When he gets the ball back from the C, he’s on the rubber and ready to go. Sometimes - like yesterday - that costs him. After a warning about not letting a batter get set…1/2

Hey, it worked for Olympic Stadium. Not.

Sil Campusano. He was Baseball America’s top prospect, and a five-tool, can’t miss player. But he was rushed then injured (his career arc reminds me of Anthony Alford’s), and finished his career playing in China.

April, 1902. Toronto’s entry in the Eastern (later the International) League, after years of several unofficial nicknames, officially becomes the Leafs. They went on to win the pennant, under future Yankees GM Ed Barrow.

Really beginning* to think Doug Ford is not the man for this moment. *since 2018

The Blue Jays walking wounded are slowly making their way back. LHP Kendry Rojas is making a rehab start in the FCL right now.

Good luck to the Edmonton Oilers and future Toronto Maple Leaf Connor McDavid in the Stanley Cup final.

Everyone should start their day with a cocker spaniel puppy on their lap.

Chocolate chips were $29 at Costco today, and I’ve had enough of this tariff war nonsense.

Khal Stephen gave up some contact in his Nat Bailey debut last night, but hung in and was helped by his offence for the W. NWL hitters are more advanced, and laid off of his elevated FB. They also seemed to pick up his SL, and only nibbled at it. /1
