Hey Twitter. I’m excited to say I’m returning to the radio for play-by-play this year on a fill-in basis for the
@BlueJays
, starting tonite/tmrw.
I’m grateful to
@Sportsnet
and
@FAN590
for the opportunity and for the support of those working on the broadcast. 6:40 first pitch!
Hey twitter. I'm excited to confirm that this week I'll be headed back home to Toronto. I have the privilege of filling in for
@benwag247
during the
@BlueJays
series starting tomorrow vs. the Angels for
@FAN590
with
@bnicholsonsmith
. (½)
Back at last! I’m absolutely honoured to be with the great crew of Buck Martinez and
@thehazelmae
for the Spring Training opener today at 1 ET/10am PT on Sportsnet.
Hope you can join us, and I can’t wait to talk more over the Sportsnet Radio Network throughout the 2024 season!
I know this may not make many Blue Jays fans feel better but the 2016 Blue Jays were also 39-34 at this point and the 2015 Blue Jays we’re 38-35
Doesn’t excuse anything but still a lot to be decided
With my last
@WAERSports
broadcast finishing up yesterday, I can't wait for what is next. I am honored to be joining
@John_G_Nolan
in the booth with the
@TinCaps
this summer! Already packed my Larry Bird short shorts and Dave Winfield Padres shirsey.
Hey twitter. I am very excited to announce that tomorrow I will be making my play-by-play debut for
@WAERSports
when
@CuseFootball
takes on
@LibertyFootball
at noon! Tune into or 88.3 FM at 11:30 a.m. for Countdown to Kickoff. (1/3)
September 4, 2003. My mom enrolls me in school, without my permission by the way, and starts an 18.5 year journey that ended this week. From Wilshire to SU, it was a pleasure (kinda). Excited for the next step and hope to return to Syracuse soon!
I can't thank the people at
@Sportsnet
enough. While many imagined hitting that big homer as a kid, this was my biggest dream, partly due to my crippling unathleticism. SN made my dream a reality, and I hope to bring some of that excited kid on the air. Hope to see you there!
Back at TD Ballpark for the second home game of
@BlueJays
Spring Training, today they take on the
@Pirates
. It's a big one with two 2024 starters and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. debuting!
We start at 1pm ET/10am PT on the call with Buck Martinez and
@thehazelmae
on
@Sportsnet
Looks like it’ll be close to a full house for
#BlueJays
vs. Orioles. With Berríos on the mound, Jays are wearing red.

#NextLevel
The best time of the year is back! The Blue Jays take the field for the first time in the 2024 regular season, and I'm thrilled to be alongside Chris Leroux and
@SNSAlli
to call the opener.
We'll be on the Sportsnet Radio Network, the app, and at 4et/1pt.
With Bo's four hits yesterday, his OPS+ is now 121. Same as last season. Offense is down across the board and Bo has made up ground to make this not a "down year"
He's tied with Francisco Lindor for the 5th highest OPS+ among qualified shortstops
Robert Hassell III (
@robert_hassell3
) just made a ridiculous diving catch to save a run in Dayton. This guy is must-see for anyone who loves MiLB and prospects
@TinCaps
@Padres
It’s been a long wait, but the home opener is finally here. Credit to the guy on the left for getting to the ballpark at 9am.
Hope you can join Chris Leroux,

Hard to believe it’s already here, but it’s the last home game of Blue Jays Spring Training today at 1 ET/10am PT.
Yusei Kikuchi throws against Kenta Maeda and the Detroit Tigers here at TD Ballpark. Chris Leroux and I have the call with

Don Mattingly still looks very comfortable at first as the Blue Jays get ready to take on the Orioles at TD Ballpark.
Hope you can join Chris Leroux and me on the Sportsnet App or at 1 ET/10am PT.

posed the question: When was the last time an MVP runner-up hit a homer off the MVP? (like Vladdy did two nights ago)
For some reason that sent me deep diving
The answer: Stan the Man -- July 24, 1951 off 1950 NL MVP Jim Konstanty
I'm incredibly privileged and excited to work with

Free-agent reliever Jay Jackson and the Minnesota Twins are in agreement on a major-league contract, pending physical, according to a source familiar with the deal.

This promises to be a crazy week but before things get nuts, I would like the following news to sink in: Dan Shulman is a finalist for the Baseball Hall of Fame’s broadcasting wing in Cooperstown. He’s Canadian. He’s a legend. He’s Dan Shulman. Congrats brother.

With the Astros controversial loss tonight, the Blue Jays will open tomorrow in a Wild Card position.
It's the first day they'll start inside the playoff picture since May 18

It's the first matchup between the Blue Jays and Diamondbacks since 2019! It wasn't that long ago but the two teams look completely different.
Back then:
-Vlad played 3B
-Stroman, Sanchez and Clayton Richard started for TOR
-Zack Greinke and Robbie Ray were among ARI's starters
Congrats to

for being picked 82nd to the LA Angels. I couldn’t have imagined that the little brother of a guy on my hockey team would end up being Mike Trout’s teammate. Good luck in the big leagues!
