Colby Rasmus News

Well, that was odd. The Rangers looked ready to pick up right where they left off, after Kinsler and Andrus both got on base with Hamilton at the plate in the first inning.

There have been several MLB regular position players who have started off their seasons on the right foot.

Brandon Morrow didn't have anything. If he threw it close to the plate it was hit hard, but then he rarely threw anywhere near the plate.

Drake ruled Lawrie didn't retouch second base when returning to first base on a flyout by Colby Rasmus.

Moore's fastball was dominant. He threw 64 fastballs, averaging over 97 mph and getting a swinging strike nearly 11% of the time.

Toronto Blue Jays' Brett Lawrie, center, is restrained by first base coach Torey Lovullo, left, as he argues with umpire Rob Drake during the eighth inning of a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Tuesday, May 22, 2012, in St.

Tuesday night, the Rays played a game unfamiliar to the tenants of Tropicana Field including lots of hitting, poor defense and shaky starting pitching.

Kyle Drabek overcame command issues to win for the first time on the road this season, Yunel Escobar hit a tiebreaking homer and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Rays 6-2 on Monday night.

That was an interesting game. Even with a phantom home run against, the Jays were able to beat the Rays.

B.J. Upton of the Tampa Bay Rays has gotten a home run after a video review determined his fly ball struck an overhanging catwalk at Tropicana Field.

Rasmus tracked down Kirk Nieuwenhuis's shallow fly ball, laying out and making the grab before sliding belly-down on the outfield turf.

HENDERSON ALVAREZ Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Henderson Alvarez gave up six runs on nine hits, as the Blue Jays fell 6-5 to the Mets in the third and final game of the season's first interleague series.

As long as the Blue Jays are hosting, they don't seem to mind the rare Interleague matchup with the Mets.

When Casey Janssen was handed the Blue Jays closer's role back on May 9, he became the main man in a bullpen in desperate need of some stability.

The Mets head north of the border to open a three-game interleague set with the Toronto Blue Jays and that means that it's time for Amazin' Avenue's Five For Five series preview.

Now that was more like it. We scored a bunch of runs, got good pitching and didn't make any errors.

Last season, GM Alex Anthopoulos orchestrated a deal to bring in young, disgruntled center fielder Colby Rasmus from St.

Brett Lawrie is an emotional player. That's what makes him a Blue Jays crowd favourite.

When P.J. Walters makes his first start for the Twins on Saturday night, he will be facing his former team, but don't expect an emotional reunion with the Blue Jays.

It's clear from what has transpired in Blue Jays land the past couple of days, the organization sees this as a year of opportunity.
