The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3, snapping the Phillies’ 11-game home winning streak. This was a more typical Toronto Blue Jays game, having great starting pitching, just enough offense to keep them ahead, and a solid performance from the bullpen. Chris Bassitt had a huge bounceback game, getting swings on pitches outside of the strike zone, resulting in a ton of weak contact. Vladimir Guerrero Jr had a good day, hitting balls hard and going 3-5. The Blue Jays played some small ball in the 8th, taking advantage of hit and runs and some tough at-bats that resulted in hits. Jordan Romano did his best to try and blow the game for the Blue Jays but ended up getting a save and closing out the game for the Blue Jays. In this episode, we break down individual player performances, highlight plays, and give some sneak peeks regarding future episodes and video ideas your hosts are looking to bring you in the future.Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.

The Toronto Blue Jays lose another game, this one being against the Philadelphia Phillies 10-1. Jose Berrios got picked apart today, giving up eight runs in his first blow-up outing of the season. The offense continues to be subpar, only manufacturing one run in the game, while allowing the Phillies starting pitcher Christopher Sanchez to breeze through 7 innings. John Schneider got kicked out in today’s game after a botched call by the third base umpire allowed Kyle Schwarber to reach base when he should have struck out. Ultimately, this led to Bryce Harper launching a grand slam into the right field seats. Overall, there is not a lot of positives to take from this game. WE NEED CHANGE.

It is clear the Toronto Blue Jays offense has been subpar so far this season. As many fans have realized, the current Blue Jays batting order is not getting the job done. John Schneider’s huge line-up shuffle consisted of swapping Daulton Varsho and Bo Bichette in the batting order while keeping George Springer leading off. We have decided to help John Schneider out with his decisions by making our batting orders to jumpstart this offense. Do you agree with our batting order?The Blue Jays pitching staff has had a roller coaster start to the 2024 season. With a plethora of injuries and abysmal pitching performances, we decided to break down a few members of this pitching staff, going over the good, the bad, and the ugly. How are you feeling about this Toronto Blue Jays pitching staff?Aaron Sanchez has returned to the Toronto Blue Jays on a minor-league deal. It seems like Ross Atkins has a new plan of attack for this team, trying to capture some 2015 magic for the 2024 Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays have a two-game series set against the Philadelphia Phillies, hoping to get back in the win column.

Where do we go from here? The Toronto Blue Jays lose the series 2-1 to the Washington Nationals. This was undoubtedly the worst series of the year. The Blue Jays only scored three runs against the worst pitcher in all of baseball, Patrick Corbin. While Yusei Kikuchi was dialed in, going 6 innings strong of one-run ball, the bullpen found a way to throw away the game. In game 2, the Washington Nationals tried their hardest to give the Blue Jays a million runs in the first inning, but the Blue Jays settled for 4. Jordan Romano had a classic Jordan Romano start, leaving people on the edge of their seats by bringing the tying run to the plate, but inevitably getting out of the jam. In game 3, Alek Manoah took the mound for the first time in the 2024 season. With the Blue Jays scoring 8 runs in the game, and the Washington Nationals again trying their hardest to help the Toronto Blue Jays offense, you would think they would come out with a victory. In this episode, we break down the Nationals series, giving our perspectives on what the Blue Jays did and did not do well during these three baseball games. With one of the craziest series of the year, there is a TON to talk about. We break it all down on this episode of Locked on Blue Jays.Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.

Ross Atkins is in his 9th season as the General Manager of the Toronto Blue Jays. Under Ross Atkins, the Blue Jays have failed to win a playoff game since 2016, when Ross inherited a World Series contending team from Tony Lacavo, but really it was Alex Anthopoulos who built this team from the ground up. Ross Atkins has made some great trades in the past, but it has not led to success for the Toronto Blue Jays organization. This season, he went full out on pitching and defense to limit as many runs as possible. So far, his plan has not panned out. We break down some of Ross Atkin’s biggest transactions with the Toronto Blue Jays, the team's success under his tenure, and what we can expect from the Toronto Blue Jays and Atkins for the rest of the season. We also break down the National series pitching matchups and what we expect from the Toronto Blue Jays this weekend. What do you think should be done with Ross Atkins? Who is to blame for the Blue Jays struggles?Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.

The Toronto Blue Jays lose the series to the Kansas City Royals. The offense continued its consistency this season, they have consistently been horrible. In other news, Alek Manoah had an unbelievable start in Triple-A, striking out 12 and only walking three. With Yariel Rodriguez re-aggravating his back injury, there is an opening spot in this rotation. If you were John Schneider, who would you give the fifth starting rotation spot? Would you go with Alek Manoah, Bowdin Francis, or Trevor Richards or would you go with someone else entirely? In this episode of Locked on Blue Jays, we do a deep dive into games 2 and 3 of the Blue Jays and Royals series, breaking down the good, the bad, and the ugly of this series of Toronto Blue Jays baseball.Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.

The Toronto Blue Jays are 31 games into the season. We decided to take a look at players the Blue Jays decided to let go this offseason and compared them to players that are in the lineup in 2024. We exchanged: Matt Chapman, Whit Merrifield, Jordan Hicks, and Brandon Belt for IKF, and Justin Turner, but this allowed for players like Davis Schneider and Ernie Clement to see the field more often in 2024. We compare these players' starts to the season, discussing which decisions we agree and disagree with through the first month of the season. George Springer has been good this season, but why? Carter does a deep dive into George Springer's struggles, finding the root cause of Springer's slow start to the season. Based on what you have seen from Springer, what does he need to do better this season? In this episode, Brayden breaks down the fanatic fiasco, as multiple organizations are trying to throw the blame on one another. Who do you think is in the wrong in this Fanatics Fiasco?Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.

The Toronto Blue Jays have done the impossible. They have scored 6 runs for the first time since April 6th. This was a Justin Turner legacy game, as he smashed 2 pull-side home runs over the left-field wall. He continues to show his value not only on the baseball field but off it as well, helping Davis Schneider with his approach at the plate. The Blue Jays did something fans aren’t accustomed to, they scored runs in multiple innings and had 3 home runs in a game for the first time since opening day. Yariel Rodriguez did not have his best stuff but fought hard to get through three and two-thirds innings with only 2 earned runs allowed. Addison Barger also picked up the first hit of his MLB career today. Hopefully, today served as a step for this offense, hoping to carry their momentum through the rest of the series. We break down game 1 against the Royals, analyze player performances and cover Blue Jays news and storylines on this episode of Locked on Blue Jays.Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.Intro: 0:00Game Recap: 2:15Player Performances: 13:10Coach Justin: 25:55Outro: 32:30 Twitter:@Brayden5Ewasko@Carterfuerst2Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjaysFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTubeLocked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB
The Toronto Blue Jays narrowly avoided a sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers, losing the series 2-1. This offense stinks. Scoring seven runs in a three-game series is not going to be enough to beat one of the best offenses in the league. George Springer, Bo Bichette, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr are having horrible at-bats, serving as a black hole at the top of this lineup. John Schneider has shown time and time again that he is not capable of making the correct decisions to manage this baseball team. He refuses to change the lineup when the Blue Jays are 27th in the league in runs scored per game. Clearly, something needs to be changed to provide a spark to this Toronto Blue Jays offense. In this episode, we break down the Dodgers series, specific plays and moments, the pitching staff, John Schneider, and much more Toronto Blue Jays news and stories.Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.Intro: 0:00Blown Out: 2:21Manager Decisions: 19:46Royals Preview: 31:37Outro: 38:52 Twitter:@Brayden5Ewasko@Carterfuerst2Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjaysFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTubeLocked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB
The Toronto Blue Jays have a huge problem with their batting order. George Springer, Bo Bichette, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr are all hitting under .235 to start the season. As a result, it has been 17 games since the Toronto Blue Jays have scored more than 5 runs in a baseball game. Something needs to be done. We discuss what we believe the batting order should be to provide a spark to this offense. The Blue Jays dropped a 2-1 game against the Kansas City Royals as a result of a rain delay, that ended the game after 5 innings. Jose Berrios gets the loss after making one bad pitch to Salvador Perez that brought both runs home for the Royals. The 5 inning rule has always been in the MLB, but it's hard not to feel cheated in a baseball game that only lasted 5 innings. Do you think the MLB should extend the minimum number of innings required for a game to count as being played? The Blue Jays host the LA Dodgers for a home weekend series. This will be a huge test for the Blue Jays offense, as they will need to keep up with the Dodgers if they want to win a series. Will the Toronto Blue Jays win the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers?Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.Intro: 0:00Batting Order 1:42Rain Delay: 19:02Dodgers vs Jays: 26:22Outro: 34:30Twitter:@Brayden5Ewasko@Carterfuerst2Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjaysFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTubeLocked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB
The Toronto Blue Jays made a huge move on Wednesday afternoon, calling up Addison Barger to the Major League Club. Addison Barger has played the infield his entire career, having limited reps in right field. This led the Toronto Blue Jays to stick Addison Barger in left field….. Addison Barger had some good at-bats but the scoresheet did not reflect that, as he went 0/4. John Schneider made several questionable decisions during this game, which ended up costing the Blue Jays once again, leaving Blue Jays fans to question more than ever if he can handle this role with the Toronto Blue Jays. Yariel Rodriguez took the bump today. He did not have his best stuff, however, he did what great pitchers do, and he gave his team a chance to win. We analyze the addition of Addison Barger, John Schneider’s reasoning, Alex Manoah’s Triple-A start, and much more in this episode of Locked on Blue JaysYour current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.Intro: 0:00Addison Barger and Game Recap: 2:25Vladdy Error and John Schneider Decisions: 16:02Alek Manoah and Berrios Bump Day: 33:30Outro: 38:37Twitter:@Brayden5Ewasko@Carterfuerst2Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjaysFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTubeLocked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB
The Toronto Blue Jays have some questions to answer with their pitching staff. The Jays have a good problem to have, there are too many pitchers that deserve to have a roster spot with the Blue Jays and not enough pitching spots. With Yariel Rodriguez's performances, there is no clear-cut answer regarding how the Blue Jays should manage this situation. Who do you think is deserving of the last spot in the bullpen? While Daulton Varsho is scorching hot in the MLB, Orelvis Martinez is having himself an April down in Triple-A. Considering Martinez is on a 15-game hitting streak, there is some talk that the Blue Jays could pull him up to the MLB roster. Do you think this is a good idea? Where would he hit in the lineup? On this episode of Locked on Blue Jays, we will also cover Ricky Tiedemann and his injury, Bo Bichette and his approach at the plate as well as a preview for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals, hoping to get another electric outing from Yariel Rodriguez.Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.Intro: 0:00Bullpen Construction: 3:34Triple A storylines: 13:20Bo Bichette Breakdown: 26:15Outro: 31:58Twitter:@Brayden5Ewasko@Carterfuerst2Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjays Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTubeLocked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB
The Toronto Blue Jays continue their hot streak, winning the first game of the series against the Kansas City Royals 5-3. Yusei Kikuchi continues to dominate opposing lineups, going six innings strong and shutting down the Royals lineup. Bo Bichette and Daulton Varsho had massive hits today, Bichette with a bases-clearing triple and Varsho with another home run, continuing his scorching hot stretch. With the lackluster start from the first three players in the batting order, it was encouraging to see Bo come up with a clutch hit. We also talk about what to do if you do not have access to a TV and the Blue Jays game is on, how are you going to watch the game? What sacrifices would you make? In this jam-packed podcast, we cover Alek Manoah’s most recent start in Triple-A Buffalo, a preview of the second game of the Royals series, and an interesting storyline regarding Yankees manager Aaron Boone.Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes, Mitch White.Intro: 0.00Kikuchi and Struggling Stars: 1:20Where to watch the Blue Jays: 17:42Pitching Preview: 28:40Outro: 32:57Twitter:@Brayden5Ewasko@Carterfuerst2Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjaysFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTubeLocked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB

The Toronto Blue Jays hate sweeping a series. Another sweep opportunity comes and goes, as the Blue Jays drop the final game of the series 6-3. The Toronto Blue Jays gave away multiple opportunities to pull away in this game. With 2 bases-loaded walks, errors, and even a catcher interference that took away the final out of an inning, the Blue Jays shot themselves in the foot time and time again in big moments. Daulton Varsho had a great series, hitting the ball hard and driving in runners, providing the Blue Jays with some much-needed offense. Jose Berrios, Yariel Rodriguez, and Chris Bassitt all had good days, only giving up 3 runs in all three of their starts combined. This episode breaks down the Padres series game by game, providing analysis and information on individual and team performances. The Toronto Blue Jays look to win their 5th series in a row, heading to Kansas City to take on the Royals. How would you rate the Toronto Blue Jays season so far?

The Toronto Blue Jays sit at 10-9 after their first homestand of the season. With Kevin Kiermaier struggling at the plate to start the season, the Toronto Blue Jays are in need of another outfielder. Rumors are starting to go around linking Christian Yelich to the Toronto Blue Jays. We break down how realistic this is and what we might have to give up in return for Christian Yelich. The Blue Jays offense has turned their season around in this homestand, starting to find more consistency in their at-bats. We discuss who is hot and who is not at the plate, singling out players who need to be better for the Blue Jays, and giving credit where it is due to players who are performing well offensively.

The Toronto Blue Jays lose the last game of the series in tough fashion against the New York Yankees, blowing a two-run lead in the top of the 9th inning. Daulton Varsho had a legacy game, going yard on two separate occasions, leading the Blue Jays charge offensively. Kevin Gausman struggled to find his footing in the first inning, loading the bases, but he found a way to work out of the jam and never looked back. Gausman’s velocity was back to normal standards, throwing the hardest pitch he’s thrown since August of last season. Erik Swanson struggled immensely in his first outing of the season, giving up 3 earned runs and blowing the Blue Jays ninth-inning lead. John Schneider made his first questionable decision of the year, throwing Erik Swanson to the wolves in high leverage after being injured for a month, instead of pitching Chad Green, who was pitching very well as the temporary closer before Jordan Romano and Erik Swanson returned to the lineup. Did John Schneider make the correct decision?

The Toronto Blue Jays hand the New York Yankees their first series loss of the season, holding onto a 5-4 win. This game had some of everything, from runs, errors, smart baserunning, and suspenseful endings, the Toronto Blue Jays put on a show Tuesday Night. Yusei Kikuchi continues to produce effective innings time and time again, only allowing one run against a tough Yankees lineup. Considering Danny Jansen dropped a throw from Davis Schneider, that run probably should not have scored anyway. Bo Bichette, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Ernie Clement all had some productive at-bats today, coming up with hits in clutch situations to help lead the Blue Jays to their victory. Jordan Romano, Erik Swanson, and Yimi Garcia all returned to the Blue Jays for today’s game, with Jordan Romano earning his first save of the season. The Toronto Blue Jays look to sweep the series against the Yankees tomorrow with Kevin Gausman on the mound, hoping to earn his first win of the season.Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes, Mitch White.Intro: 0.00Key Moments: 1:14Stellar Pitching: 13:43Blue Jays News and Storylines:Outro: 33:29Twitter:@Brayden5Ewasko@Carterfuerst2Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjaysFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTubeLocked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB
The Toronto Blue Jays get a huge divisional win against the New York Yankees and are above 500 for the first time of the season. The Hound of the Mound did what he does best again, giving up one run over six and a third innings of work. This offense is still a problem, having runners in scoring position with 0 outs for all the first three innings and only coming away with 3 runs. Chris Bassitt commented on the pitch clock and the pitching injuries, stating that the injuries are more on pitchers and team personnel than the pitch clock itself, which has had some interesting responses from fans around the league. Tim Mayza has struggled so far this season; we look to figure out the root cause of these struggles. The Blue Jays take on Carlos Rodon and the Yankees tomorrow in game 2 of the series, where the Toronto Blue Jays look to win their third series in a row.Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes, Mitch White.Intro: 0.00Mickey Mouse Offence 1:24Hound on the Mound: 16:46Mayza and Rodon vs Kikuchi: 31:17Outro: 40:12 Twitter:@Brayden5Ewasko@Carterfuerst2Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjaysFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTubeLocked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB
The Toronto Blue Jays secure a much-needed series win against the Colorado Rockies. Kevin Gausman struggled in game one of the series. Having issues with the command once again. Yariel Rodriguez made his season debut on Saturday, showing Blue Jays fans flashes of what they can expect for his future with the Blue Jays. Rodriguez is still being worked up to a starter role, having limits on how many pitches he can throw in a single game. Justin Turner continued his hot start of the season with three more hits, as well as Jose Berrios shut the door in his start, pitching seven scoreless innings. The New York Yankees roll into the Rogers Center next for a three-game series. The Toronto Blue Jays look to go over 500 for the first time this season.

With the Toronto Blue Jays having an off day on Thursday, we decided to break down the Blue Jays pitching staff and their performances so far in 2024. The start to the season has been a whirlwind for this group, being plagued with injuries in the early weeks of the season. From Electrifying, dominant starts to huge blow ups, the Blue Jays pitching staff has given you a little bit of everything to start the season. We analyze individual performances, who is HOT and who is NOT, and what this pitching staff might look like in coming days with reinforcements on the way. As we head into a weekend series with the Colorado Rockies, we break down pitching matchups and our perspectives on how the weekend is going to unfold on this episode of Locked on Blue Jays.Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes, Mitch White.

The Toronto Blue Jays drop the final game of the series to the Seattle Mariners in extra innings, 6-1. Yusei Kikuchi was electric on the mound today, striking out 8 of the first 10 batters on his way to throwing 6 innings of one-run ball. The only source of Blue Jays' offense in today’s game was Vladimir Guererro Jr, smashing a baseball 459 feet off Logan Gilbert, sitting in the top 5 as one of the farthest home runs Vladdy has ever hit in his career. After the loss, Cal Raleigh called out John Schneider about his comments about Raleigh and the Mariner's offense last season. Cal Raleigh has always been a thorn in the Blue Jays side, hitting 9 home runs in 15 games against the Blue Jays. Was what Cal Raleigh said about John Schneider justified? Will John Schneider respond? How will this impact future games against the Seattle Mariners?

The Toronto Blue Jays have won back-to-back games for the first time this season, taking the second game of the series against the Seattle Mariners 5-3. The Hound on the Mound got back to his dominant ways, throwing 6 and two-thirds innings of one-run ball, earning Bassitt his first quality start and win of the season. Bo Bichette launched his first home run of the season, smashing a low splitter into the left-center stands. Cavan Biggio and IKF also had productive days, each coming up with multiple hits against Mariners starter, George Kirby. The Toronto Blue Jays look for their first sweep of the season, and more importantly, continue to play well-rounded consistent baseball. Yusei Kikuchi will take the mound, looking to step on the throats of the Seattle Mariners and gain some momentum for this baseball team.

The Toronto Blue Jays get a stellar day from Jose Berrios once again and take the first game of the series against the Seattle Mariners 5-2. This was a complete game from the offense and defense, getting solid production from the starting pitching, the bullpen, and the entire lineup. Davis Schneider continued his success at the plate with a crucial two run single in the bottom of the third inning. Every Blue Jay got a hit today, other than George Springer. This is key for the Toronto Blue Jays if they want to be a world series contender, they will need consistent production throughout the lineup. Will the Toronto Blue Jays continue to score runs throughout this series? What did the Blue Jays do differently in this game to get offensive production?

The Toronto Blue Jays drop their second series in a row against the New York Yankees 2-1, ending the Blue Jays Road trip 4-6. This offense has been very underwhelming to start the season, hitting under 200 as a team through the first 10 games. Unfortunately, much of this series showed similarities to last season, with the Toronto Blue Jays lacking the ability to string hits together, hit with runners in scoring position and have timely hitting. The Toronto Blue Jays need to figure out how to drive runners in when they have the opportunities if they want to be a series contender in the MLB. Right now, they are sitting in the bottom third of the league in every offensive category. The Blue Jays look to win their first series of the year, hosting the Seattle Mariners in their home opener.

The Toronto Blue Jays are not going to win many games scoring two runs over three games, while getting 1-hit and no-hit in two out of three of those games. This offense needs to switch something up. Whether it is new personnel in the lineup, a change in approach or just being better hitters, the Blue Jays need to score more runs. Toronto Blue Jays fans have the right to be frustrated, as this was the same problem this team was having last season, and it has somehow gotten worse to start the season. Things do not get any easier as the Blue Jays head to New York to take on the Yankees. The Yankees are coming off a 2-1 series win against the Diamondbacks and swept the Astros in a 4-game set 5 days before they are set to take on the Toronto Blue Jays. What do the Blue Jays need to do to get some more production offensively? Do the Blue Jays have enough talent on this roster to compete for a World Series?

The Toronto Blue Jays drop the game and the series against the Houston Astros 8-0. The Blue Jays survive getting no-hit for a second time this series due to a Daulton Varsho double being the only hit of the ball game. The Blue Jays were outscored 19-2 in this series and were very lucky Davis Schneider saved the season with a 9th-inning homerun. We discuss what the issues are with the Toronto Blue Jays offense, how John Schneider has managed this team and how the Blue Jays performance was in this series, as well as players to watch for the rest of the season. Are you happy with how the Toronto Blue Jays have played in the first 7 games? What should the Blue Jays do to fix their offensive struggles?

Davis Schneider saves the Toronto Blue Jays season with a 2-run home run in the top of the 9th inning. Schneider continues to break records, as that home run was the longest home run off a Josh Hader slider ever, hammering it 423 feet. Jose Berrios continues to be a huge asset for the Toronto Blue Jays, pitching a strong 6 innings and carving through this Houston Astros lineup. The Toronto Blue Jays are going to need to figure out their bats, as 2 runs in their last 18 innings is not going to provide this team with a lot of wins. The Blue Jays try to win the rubber match against the Astros tomorrow, with the Hound on the Mound, Chris Bassitt, pitching against Christian Javier.

The Toronto Blue Jays get no-hit by Ronel Blanco and the Houston Astros. After the Yankees beat up the Astros in the last 4 games, this is a tough pill to swallow for the Toronto Blue Jays. Bowden Francis got lit up by a pissed-off Astros lineup, going just over 5 innings and giving up 7 runs. The Blue Jays do the most Toronto Blue Jays thing ever and become the first team of 2024 to be no-hit. And now for the offensive highlights: George Springer walked twice. That is all. We did get to see IKF on the mound, where he gave Kevin Gausman a run for his money trying to secure the role as the Blue Jays ace. This rough offensive start to the season has Blue Jays fans worried that this might be a replica of our 2023 offensive season. The Toronto Blue Jays will look for revenge in tomorrow's game, with Jose Berrios on the bump facing off against Framber Valdez, another tough pitching matchup for this lineup.

The Toronto Blue Jays split the opening weekend series 2-2 with the Tampa Bay Rays. After an 8-2 win Thursday, Chris Bassitt was solid in his first start, but the stats would not back him up. Untimely errors and a lack of hitting cost the Toronto Blue Jays that game. In the third game of the series, Yusei Kikuchi put together a mediocre outing, but it did not matter, as the Toronto Blue Jay had flashbacks from 2023 and could not hit a baseball. The Jays did bounce back on Sunday led by performances by Kevin Gausman, Justin Turner and Mitch White. The Toronto Blue Jays head to Houston for a three-game series against the Astros, hoping to find some offensive consistency. In this episode, we analyze Bo Bichette’s costly error and how we view his defensive position on this team, the Genesis Cabrera altercation that caused the benches to clear and what we saw from this team offensively in this series.

WE ARE BACK. Toronto Blue Jays baseball is here. For the Opening weekend series, the Toronto Blue Jays will go to the Trop to take on the Tampa Bay Rays in a four-game series. Jose Berrios will take on Zach Eflin in game one, setting the stage for an AL East showdown. The Toronto Blue Jays come into this series with a depleted bullpen, with Erik Swanson and Jordan Romano starting the season on IL. The Toronto Blue Jays struggled against the AL East last season, having a record of 21-31. The Blue Jays have the opportunity to seek revenge and start the season on the right foot.

The Toronto Blue Jays have beaten the breaks off the Tampa Bay Rays in their opening day game, scoring 8 runs in the process. It was the first game of the season, but this team had a different feel heading onto the field. We finally had some offensive production up and down the lineup, with major contributions from Alejandro Kirk, Cavan Biggio, Bo Bichette and Jose Berrios.

With Opening Day being 2 days away, we decided to lay out our bold takes for the 2024 season. We provide 6 Toronto Blue Jays Hot takes for this team, from who will be an everyday player to how many home runs Blue Jays players will hit this season. Which hot takes can you see panning out this season? Which players will overachieve this season? Which players will not meet expectations? Kevin Gausman was absolutely electric in his first game back from injury, striking out 7 hitters in 3 innings of work. Even with this stunning performance, it has not been confirmed if Gausman will start in the first rotation of pitchers. The MLB has made their picks for league leaders in the 2024 season. They have Bo Bichette leading the American League in Batting Average. Do you agree with this prediction? How do you think Bo Bichette will fare this season? Will Kevin Gausman pitch against the Houston Astros?

The Toronto Blue Jays have made their Opening Day roster decisions for position players on this team. Ernie Clement, Davis Schneider and Daniel Vogelbach have earned their spots, while Spencer Horwitz and Nathen Lukes were sent down in corresponding moves. The pitching situation could not be more opposite, with injuries lingering up and down the starting rotation and bullpen. How do you feel about the Blue Jays decisions on their opening-day roster? What would your opening day roster look like? The Toronto Blue Jays are nursing a TON of injuries as we move forward to opening day. Major pieces like Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Erik Swanson, and Alek Manoah are all questionable for the start of the season. John Schneider has also been experimenting with different batting orders in the last few weeks of spring training, going through some trial and error to work out some kinks before meaningful baseball games come upon us. We cover this and all the major storylines for your Toronto Blue Jays. Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Eduardo Escobar, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.Intro: 0:00Roster Moves: 4:13Injury News and Storylines: 15:00Lineup Experiments: 25:56Outro: 33:16Twitter:@Brayden5Ewasko@Carterfuerst2Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjaysFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBlueJays?sid=YouTubeLocked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB
We have a guest for today’s episode, a degenerate gambler, and sports fanatic, Skyler Peters. Skyler joins the boys in talking about the Toronto Blue Jays' success in spring training, whether these approaches will translate to the regular season, and who we think can continue to be productive at the plate throughout 2024. Which spring training standouts will continue their success into the regular season? With the trade of Santiago Espinal, we discuss who we think will get the opening day starts and 2nd and 3rd base this season. IKF and Cavan Biggio are more experienced, however, Ernie Clement and Davis Schneider have higher offensive upside that could be beneficial for a team that struggled to hit for power last season. Who do you see getting the starts on Opening Day? While we hope every Toronto Blue Jays player exceeds expectations this season, it is not realistic to believe that. We analyzed 3 players that we could see having a down year this season, due to age, lack of production, or lack of opportunity. Which players could you see underperforming for the Toronto Blue Jays? Do you think we should be worried about any Blue Jays players?

After much speculation, the Toronto Blue Jays have traded infielder Santiago Espinal to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for right-handed starting pitcher Chris McElvain. McElvain is a young prospect, being drafted in the eighth round of 2022, and spending the 2023 season in Single-A and High-A. With Ernie Clement’s resurgence this spring training, and considering Espinal was out of options, there were not many alternatives to this result. Do you think the Blue Jays should have traded Santiago Espinal? Did the Jays get enough assets in return? With baseball season around the corner, we go into some Toronto Blue Jays Fantasy Rankings, going over where your Blue Jays are being picked, and whether we believe that these rankings are correct. We break down our draft strategy, where we believe Blue Jays players will be picked, and which players we are planning on drafting.

With Opening Day only being 9 days away, the Toronto Blue Jays roster should be complete, barring a mid-season trade or an impactful, long-term injury. This offseason was a whirlwind, with the highs of thinking we were signing Shohei Ohtani, to making a last-minute signing of Joey Votto. Every offseason move is important and can change the dynamic of the team, with every signing closing the door on potential big moves but providing fans with optimism about the upcoming season. With Spring Training coming to a close, we analyze every signing/lack of signing the Toronto Blue Jays made this offseason and give them a letter grade based on other options available, contract details, last year's performance, and overall team needs and impact.Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Santiago Espinal, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Eduardo Escobar, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.

The Toronto Blue Jays have so many impactful players on this team, many of them being all stars and among the leagues top players in the league at their respective positions. We decided to break down who with think will be the top most impactful players for the Toronto Blue Jays this season, outlining which players are most important to this teams success for the upcoming season. Who do you think is the most important player on the Toronto Blue Jays? What would you change on this list?Danny Jansen was hit by a pitch in the middle of last week, breaking a bone in his right wrist. This will keep him sidelined for at least two weeks and will result in him missing the opening games of the season. Joey Votto hit his first home run of Spring Training in his first at-bat of Major League Spring Training with the Toronto Blue Jays, then got hurt walking back to the dugout. Yariel Rodriguez also made his first start of Spring Training this weekend.

The Toronto Blue Jays have some question marks regarding their starting pitching leading up to Opening Day. Kevin Gausman and Alek Manoah are both dealing with shoulder injuries, which leaves two gaps in this lineup. Bowden Francis has been lights out when given the opportunity to pitch for the Blue Jays, which leaves Mitch White or Paolo Espino to make a spot start for this team until Gausman is back. What should the Toronto Blue Jays do about their starting rotation this season? With Alek Manoah’s struggles over the last year, there has been a portion of the fan base that has wanted the Blue Jays to move on from Alek Manoah, wanting Ross Atkins to trade him while he still has value. Other fans want him to start in the minor leagues, while some want to gift him the 5th starting rotation spot. What do you think the Toronto Blue Jays should do with Alek Manoah? Alejandro Kirk had a down year last season, struggling to find his footing after missing some time in Spring Training due to the birth of his child. Kirk did make strides defensively, being one of the best catchers at blocking baseballs last season. So far this spring training, Alejandro Kirk has been on a tear, setting his sights on another all-star season. How do you think Alejandro Kirk will perform this season?Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Santiago Espinal, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Eduardo Escobar, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.

The Toronto Blue Jays did not re-sign many free agents last season, only deciding to bring back Kevin Kiermaier for the 2024 season. Many Toronto Blue Jays fans wanted to see the Blue Jays make more of an effort to sign players like Jordan Hicks, Whit Merrifield, Matt Chapman, and Branden Belt, but no deals were able to get done. We break down which players we would have wanted to see back on the Toronto Blue Jays for the 2024 season. Erik Swanson was very effective for the Toronto Blue Jays last season. Swanson was a key piece to the revamp of this bullpen last season that struggled in 2022. Swanson should remain as one of the top weapons out of this bullpen again this season, one that should be top 10 if not top 5 in Major League Baseball this season. How important is Erik Swanson in this bullpen? Vladimir Guererro Jr has decided that he wants to bring the home run jacket back again for 2024. While the home run jacket is awesome when the Toronto Blue Jays are winning, it can be very corny when they’re losing a baseball game. Ernie Clement is starting to gain some traction to make the starting roster this season, which could mean that there is a trade on the horizon for the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Toronto Blue Jays are nearing the end of their championship window, having zero success in the playoffs. The Blue Jays have not made any head-turning moves this offseason, maintaining that they believe there is enough talent on the team right now to win a World Series. What will this team look like next season if they miss the playoffs? Will Ross Atkins be fired in the situation? What direction should this team go in if they have another unsuccessful year? Joey Votto has signed a one-year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. This comes after Votto made it clear that he was still itching to play baseball and wanted to earn his way onto a major league team. Joey Votto will battle with Daniel Vogelbach for the off-the-bench left-handed bat for the Major League club. Who do you think will win this roster spot? Would you rather have Votto or Vogelbach?Ernie Clement has been on fire this Spring Training, making a strong case to be a part of the Opening Day roster.

We bring you our standings predictions for your Toronto Blue Jays this upcoming season. While the Blue Jays have not made a signing that has turned heads this offseason, they are bringing back almost all their pitching staff from last season. With the Orioles trading for Corbin Burnes, and the Yankees trading for Juan Soto, many people are speculating that this is a two-horse race for the Crown in the AL East. Do you agree with our predictions? Where do you have the Toronto Blue Jays ranking in the AL East?

Howwould this change affect this lineup's offensive production?Tim Mayza was one of the most underrated relief pitchers in the MLB last season.

offseason training regimen. What can we expect from Alek Manoah this season? Will Alek
Manoah bounce back?

Toronto Blue Jays have made another signing to contribute to their infield depth: Eduardo Escobar. Eduardo played exclusively at Second and Third base last season. Eduardo Escobar struggled from the left side of the plate last season but made up for it by mashing left-handed pitching from the right side of the plate all season long. For a Toronto Blue Jays team
that struggled to drive runners in, this should contribute to the Blue Jays' success for this season. How would you rate this signing?

The Toronto Blue Jays have a unique scenario where they have two top 15 catchers in the MLB, with Alejandro Kirk and Danny Jansen. Kirk had a down year at the plate last season but looked great defensively. Danny Jansen was on pace to lead the Toronto Blue Jays in home runs, however, he suffered from injury troubles all season. We provide an in-depth analysis of which catcher we believe the Blue Jays should sign if they were limited to only one of the catchers. Your hosts also discuss the impact Kirk and Jansen will have on the Blue Jays this upcoming season.
One topic always comes up when discussing the Toronto Blue Jays catcher situation, and that is the Gabriel Moreno trade. Many fans speculate that Ross Atkins traded the wrong catcher, but some fans liked the move considering the Blue Jays had three MLB-caliber catchers.
Did Ross Atkins make the right decision in keeping Alejandro Kirk and Danny Jansen over Gabriel Moreno? Which catcher would you have dealt?

On today's show, Sean Woodley and Mike DiStefano break down a bummer of a Game 2 loss to the Minnesota Twins to end an underwhelming season in an extremely fitting way. Off the top, Sean and Mike dig into how the Blue Jays bats and lack of power let them down once again, as a parade of singles couldn't muster enough offense for the Jays to score, compounded by the untimely pick-off of a napping Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to end the inning with Bo Bichette at the plate with runners on second and third. Next, they examine the wild decision to pull Jose Berrios for Yusei Kikuchi after 3+ excellent innings of work by the Jays' starter, for galaxy brained matchup-driven reasons. Sean and Mike examine the move from top to bottom, and discuss whether it should cost people their jobs. Lastly, they put a bow on their brief run hosting the show by looking ahead to the offseason. Which pending free agents are they hoping for the Jays to either walk or keep around? And is there a move out there that can realistically shake this team up in a meaningful way? Thanks for tuning in during our brief run hosting the show! There will be a new Locked On Blue Jays host soon!

On today's show, Sean Woodley and Mike DiStefano react to the Toronto Blue Jays' Game 1 loss to the Minnesota Twins in the Wild Card round of the MLB Postseason. Off the top, Sean and Mike discuss what went wrong for Kevin Gausman early as he struggled with suspect command and gave up a pair of home runs to Twins DH Royce Lewis, and discuss whether it was too early to pull Gausman after the 4th inning when he had seemingly just begun to settle down. Next, Sean and Mike talk about the Jays' squandering opportunities to cash runs, specifically in a lifeless top of the 8th flameout on the heels of a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. lead-off double. Plus, was Bo Bichette's decision to bolt home on a broken play only to be gunned down by a great Carlos Correa play a bad one, or an unfortunate one? Lastly, Sean and Mike tee up the Game 2 pitching matchup between Sonny Gray and Jose Berrios as the Jays' season will be on the line on Wednesday.

On Monday's Locked On Blue Jays, Sean Woodley and Mike DiStefano react to the Toronto Blue Jays advancing to the MLB Postseason in rather uninspiring fashion on the final weekend of the regular season, and get you set for their matchup with the Minnesota Twins in the Wild Card round starting on Tuesday, with Kevin Gausman set to square off against Pablo Lopez in Game 1. Off the top, Sean and Mike discuss the way in which the Jays backed into the playoffs, why it no longer matters how they got here, and poor, poor Wes Parsons. Next, they discuss which 13 pitchers should be on the playoff roster, and which guys in the pen they trust the most going into the postseason. Should Trevor Richards' disastrous final month of the year see him off the playoff roster in place of Jay Jackson or Nate Pearson? Lastly, they discuss which position players should make the Wild Card round roster, the rise of Cavan Biggio from fringe MLBer to key utility piece, and which of of Santiago Espinal, Davis Schneider and Cam Eden should earn the final two spots behind the 11 players who are locks to be on the squad.

On your Friday episode, Sean Woodley and Mike DiStefano react to Chris Bassitt's masterful 7.2 inning, 12-strikeout effort against the New York Yankees as the Toronto Blue Jays picked up the 6-0 win and trimmed their magic playoff number down to 2. Off the top, Sean and Mike discuss Bassitt's outstanding performance to cap an awesome first season in Toronto. The front office takes it's lumps, but it really can't be overstating how much the Jays have nailed their big money pitching additions in recent years. Next, Sean and Mike discuss the bats getting going and the lineup change that bumped Brandon Belt up to the second slot ahead of Vlad Jr. and Bo Bichette in the 3-4 holes, which worked to great effect on Thursday night. Lastly, they take a look at the final weekend of the season as the injured Rays come to town with nothing to play for after the Orioles clinched the AL East on Thursday. What are we hoping to see aside from, you know, making it into the playoffs? Plus, if Kevin Gausman HAS to pitch on Sunday in a do-or-die game, who starts Game 3 in the playoffs: Gausman on short rest, or Yusei Kikuchi? And lastly, Tampa or Minnesota?

On Thursday's Locked On Blue Jays, Sean Woodley and Mike DiStefano react to the Toronto Blue Jays' 6-0 loss to the New York Yankees in Game 2 of their series, in which Gerrit Cole threw a complete game 2-hitter, and Aaron Judge hit a pair of home runs, leaving the Jays with plenty of work to do in the race for the final Wild Card spot with the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners. Off the top, Sean and Mike recount another lifeless night at the plate for the Jays. Is there any shame in getting shut out back to back nights by Michael King and Gerrit Cole? Probably not, but it sure feels magnified in the final week of the season with a playoff spot still not yet locked up. Next, they reset the Wild Card race after Seattle's loss to Houston on Wednesday, as the Mariners get set for a four-game set to close the year with the West-leading Texas Rangers. Plus, if the Jays end up collapsing and missing the playoffs, which Aaron Judge 2-homer game in the last week of the season will sting more? Last night's game, or the game in 2021 where Judge went yard twice off Robbie Ray? Lastly, Sean and Mike play a round of Co-Sign, No-Sign. Is Aaron Judge the most terrifying Jays opponent of all-time? Should Jose Berrios start Game of the first round of the playoffs? And should Trevor Richards be left off the playoff roster after yet another shaky outing?

On a new episode of Locked On Blue Jays, Sean Woodley and Mike DiStefano take up the host chair to react to the Toronto Blue Jays' 2-0 loss to the New York Yankees in their series opener on Tuesday night. Off the top, Sean and Mike introduce themselves and detail their relationships to the Blue Jays, and some of their overarching feelings on what has been a frustratingly uneven Blue Jays season up to this point. Next, they run through their biggest takeaways from the 2-0 loss to New York, as Michael King and Kevin Gausman both turned in impressive, scoreless outings, with the Yankees finally breaking the draw in the ninth inning with an Austin Wells home run off of Jordan Romano. After a promising weekend for the offense in Tampa, are we concerned about the team's ability to score runs again? Lastly, they dig into Romano's second straight rough outing since picking up a split fingernail issue. Should he be shut down until the playoffs to ensure he's fully healthy, with Jordan Hicks, Erik Swanson and the rest of the Jays' pen likely capable of seeing the Jays through to a playoff spot? Or does Romano need to be out there, even if the fingernail issue is sapping his effectiveness?

It has been a tough week in a tough month in a tough year in a tough decade. A.J. Andrews decided she needed to hold off on posting the #1 most important Blue Jays game of 2021 because the owners needed to be yelled at. Then as she went to send the episode her internet died. And her water died. It's finally back and she's sharing some thoughts on the process and why the owners are getting yelled at.

Forgive the host if her memory is foggy, she was pretty busy when this game was played... A.J. Andrews soldiers on with her countdown of the Blue Jays' most important games of 2021 and she lands on a dark day at the #2 slot. On Sept. 30, the Jays sent their future Cy Young winner Robbie Ray to the mound, but lost the series finale to the Yankees 6-2 to effectively end their hopes of reaching the playoffs. How did it get to that point, and what ramifications did that game ultimately have on the team? And how well can the host remember a game that she couldn't watch from a hospital room while loaded up with painkillers? Let's find out.

You could almost make a chant for our subject to the tune of Bring Me To Life... It's been a rough February at the podcast. A.J. Andrews was finally able to snap out of it long enough to continue her countdown of the most important Blue Jays games of 2021. This time she takes revenge on the Rays for the extra-inning beatdown they put on the Jays in #4 to remind them of what Alek Manoah did to them on July 2 in Buffalo, N.Y. She details how effective Manoah was with just one pitch, how the Jays finally delivered some offense, and how the former Mountaineer healed the disappointment of one of his AAA teammates.

If A.J.'s not feeling well, you know she's going to share the misery. A.J. Andrews has a headache, and it may or may not be caused by her selection for the fourth most important Blue Jays game of 2021. The bullpen caused so many headaches that season, and while the Brad Hand collapse against the Mariners may sting more, she chose May 24th's 14-8 extra-inning loss to the Rays as the primary representative. A game where Ross Stripling did everything right, only for everything else to go horribly wrong on the pitcher's mound. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

We remember the Tommy Milone era... A.J. Andrews has decided to do a Top 5 list, because those are all the rage, right? Is anything the rage now? Anyway, she starts her countdown off with the Blue Jays' April 27 game against the Nationals in the #5 slot. No, this game didn't make the list because it was a rare stellar Tyler Chatwood appearance. It made the list because an old star faced down a new star and not only did the old star blink, he blinked twice, heralding a new age for MLB.

How is his nickname not Little Wing? A.J. Andrews wraps up her look at the incoming players the Blue Jays have added in the offseason by discussion new reliever Yimi García.

Justice for Justin Mourneau, please... We interrupt A.J. Andrews catching up on topics she missed to discuss actual factual baseball news! The 2022 Hall of Fame Ballot was dropped and only one man entered Cooperstown: David Ortiz. Andrews does her best to quantify how Big Papi coasted in when Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Curt Schilling and Sammy Sosa were shut out, why those gentlemen shouldn't have been let in anyway (spoiler: it isn't even about the steroids!), and takes a look ahead at 2023, when, well, it looks pretty good for Scott Rolen and some others to pick up more votes with that incoming class...

Feel like I should have done this episode last season... Kevin Gausman is finally a Blue Jays after what seemed like a long courtship. But with the recent news that the Giants didn't even offer Gausman a contract, should Jays fans really be excited? A.J. Andrews says yes and details why the front office chose Gausman over re-signing Robbie Ray, how Gausman can maintain his success, and how escaping Baltimore is crucial for anyone who wants to have a solid MLB career.

The long-awaited conclusion... A.J. Andrews finally wraps up her look at the Blue Jays departures in the off-season by discussing Robby Ray, the 2021 AL Cy Young Award winner who will be pitching for Seattle in 2022. So why isn't A.J. more broken up about losing Ray to the M's? She explains the multitude of reasons, eased by the knowledge that the replacement is in the building...

Treating the also-rans like the middle child of this trilogy... A.J. Andrews continues to look at the Blue Jays who have left the team this off-season, with Steven Matz next up. A.J. discusses how he was the perfect example of the Jays' buy-low strategy, how he rebuilt himself in Toronto, and how the Blue Jays can replace him. It's an easier conversation than the Marcus Semien one, so she gives updates on other Blue Jays that have left. You will know where to get your replacement Breyvic Valera jersey.

Gotta be sad before you can get happy. Least that's the booster thinking. A.J. Andrews needs to keep recovering from her booster dose and from a tough week, so she wants to remember the good times with the Blue Jays that have departed this off-season, starting with MVP candidate Marcus Semien, now with the Rangers. She quantifies how much he gave the Blue Jays in his short time with the team, and the value he added for a team that lacked stability at second. She also looks at internal and external options to replace him, and settles on an unknown quantity who would look very good in powder blue.

We couldn't let her do this one alone, could we? Since A.J. Andrews didn't have a chance to offer opinions on the Blue Jays in a year-end review sort of special, she joined Paul Francis Sullivan, better known and called as Sully, on the Locked on MLB show to do so!

A.J. Andrews goes over how late-season swoons are common occurrences with Hyun-jin Ryu and what the Blue Jays can do to fix it. Even if fans may not be thrilled with the prospect. Plus, some podcast news as A.J. prepares to take a medical leave at the end of the month. A familiar voice to recent listeners will be joining her for more episodes and doing some solo ones in the future. Hope you're ready.

Eventually that title was going to happen. The Blue Jays fulfilled A.J. Andrews' prophecy and took down the Rays 6-3 in their series finale. Andrews takes the time to discuss Robbie Ray's effectiveness and ability to get the most out of two pitches, Bo Bichette stepping up for his turn in the spotlight after it seemed like the others on the team had taken hold of it, and the convoluted mess of the playoff picture and why it would just be best if the Blue Jays kept winning to avoid problems.

This is why you don't feed the host reality-bending TV shows before she records... One might expect A.J. Andrews to be a little more frustrated after the Blue Jays recorded just three hits in a 2-0 loss to the Rays. However, she's feeling a bit more philosophical in relation to things tonight, and merely wants to make sure tonight doesn't start a new trend. She brings up reminders of how quickly things can turn. She also discusses the injury that caused José Berríos to leave tonight's game, Reese McGuire's belief in the power of close games, and why hope springs eternal for tomorrow's starter.

Some very satisfying wins lately... The Blue Jays continue to run roughshod on their competition, dispatching the Rays 8-1 in their series opener Monday. A.J. Andrews discusses the absolute beast-mode start that Alek Manoah put in, how his aggressive style serves the Jays well when it's on form, how Teoscar Hernández became everything Derek Fisher isn't, the difference between Guillermo Quiróz and Robinzon Díaz, and the removal of the hex that Ryan Yarbrough had cast on the Blue Jays.

You know it's bonkers when the stat is in the title. The Blue Jays liked scoring 22 runs in one day so much on Saturday, they decided to do it again on Sunday! In one game! A.J. Andrews breaks down the type of pitching it took the Orioles to put out there to allow this to happen, what the bottom of the lineup production means, Vladdy Jr.'s case for AL MVP, and Julian Merryweather looking more like the Julian Merryweather the Jays fans remember from April.

See! Even when he's not involved, Fernando Abad sets these easy puns up! In the second half of her doubleheader set of episodes, A.J. discusses the Blue Jays twin killing of the Orioles as they went 11 the hard way twice. She discusses more issues with consistency for Hyun-jin Ryu, a disappointing return for Ross Stripling, George Springer doing George Springer things to lead the way, the demon Keegan Akin emerging again, and the Blue Jays finally slaying that demon, and then overkilling Tanner Scott and Manny Barrera to boot.

Seriously. He has too many puns that can be made with such Abad name. In honor of the Blue Jays' Saturday doubleheader, A.J. Andrews is starting a twin bill of her own! First, she looks at the Blue Jays' 6-3 loss to the Orioles on Friday. She discusses Brandon Hyde being petty in regards to Robbie Ray, Fernando Abad living up to his name by bodychecking Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and the return of Julian Merryweather and his still spotless ERA... despite being roughed up for the loss...

Now I actually want to play the Yankees again instead of the Orioles. The Blue Jays swept the Yankees so hard in four games it was historic. A sweep not seen since 1924 to bring the Jays within a half-game of a wild-card berth. A.J. Andrews goes over the jubilant days in the Bronx, what the offense has done to get itself back into gear, how a team effort has been lifting the burden off of Vlad Jr. and how the starters just keep dominating opposing lineups. At least now they are getting some wins for their efforts. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

Still riding that high, hopefully into October... The Blue Jays are on a winning streak at just the right time, and A.J. Andrews looks back at the Friday night game that playoffs or not will be remembered very fondly when the season is done. She discusses the familiar sinking feelings of a Blue Jays team getting overwhelmed by the moment, the necessary breakout at-bat from Lourdes Gurriel Jr., watching Jordan Romano blink for just one second, and then Marcus Semien delivering what Blue Jays fans needed the most.

Maybe trying to gaze into the future will be more optimistic than looking backward. The Blue Jays have recalled Nate Pearson as part of their roster expansion. Will this be the move that gets A.J. Andrews excited about Jays baseball again? Not really. She discusses her modest expectations for Pearson and Bryan Baker, bids farewell to Brad Hand now that the lustre has been completed removed, and previews the Blue Jays' three-game series against the Athletics that will serve as a barometer for what September will be about.

It's tough to be thrilled with what that was. A.J. Andrews catches up on the week that was following a tough week at work and on the diamond for the Blue Jays. She discusses why she was so unhappy with the performance of the offense despite her lack of faith, how the starters stumbled and may be showing signs of flagging, and how the bullpen struggled to bridge the gap to the eighth and ninth innings and why the bullpen management in the loss was questionable.

I miss getting to use that Hilary Duff reference. As the water falls in Nova Scotia, A.J. Andrews finds the calming presence of the rain very similar to the presence of the Orioles on the Blue Jays' schedule. She discusses Vlad Jr.'s impact on the 7-3 victory, both with and without home runs, Robbie Ray finally getting a win after almost a month without being rewarded for his stellar performances, and why Jordan Romano had to show up in this game at all.

A.J. scored more runs playing softball than the entire Jays squad did this weekend. Maybe that's why A.J. Andrews isn't jumping for joy about the Blue Jays earning a season split with the Tigers. The offense still doesn't seem to be working well enough. She worries. At least the pitching staff is holding up her spirits. If we're at the point where Hyun-jin Ryu is the weakest-performing member of the rotation, that's actually a good thing in this regard. Plus, the bullpen hierarchy looks settled even with the new additions. Those are good things. But that offense... Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

Still waiting for that walk-off balk... The Blue Jays lost on what was essentially a walk-off inside-the-park home run, generously credited to Victor Reyes as such, and A.J. Andrews is not happy about it. She discusses how the combination of positions led to Reyes zipping around the bases, and again lambasts the Blue Jays offense for being completely impotent against a Tigers staff that should not be this good. Plus, she discusses the Jarrod Dyson acquisition and why she isn't certain it's the kind of move the Blue Jays need to make.

Shoutout to @coachclement for naming this episode. A.J. Andrews has returned from her vacation in Toronto (complete with her very own disappointing extra-inning loss!), and she picks up right where she left off: bemoaning the Blue Jays' offense. She discuss what it's been like seeing the team completely fall apart at the plate and then picks a few players at random to chastise. (Totally random). She does end on a high note by praising the new big three of the Blue Jays' bullpen: Jordan Romano, Tim Mayza and... Connor Overton? Maybe not now, but for Andrews, Overton has earned another shot in the future. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

Had to balance A.J.'s pessimism, and we found a way. A.J. Andrews clearly needs help understanding what the heck was the Seattle series. Good thing she has help to do so! In what will be the first of many appearances, freelance journalist and Blue Jays fan Lukas Weese joins the podcast to discuss George Springer's latest injury, the continued consistency of the Blue Jays' rotation outside of La Makina's start in Los Angeles, and yes, the bullpen.

I hope y'all appreciate I can spell his name correctly. The Blue Jays lost in ways thought unheard of since Tyler Chatwood was sent out of town, and A.J. Andrews has already earned the wrath of Mariners fans tonight, so let's just dig into what the heck happened! She starts with the top of the ninth, because she isn't beholden to your rules and she wants to talk about what a silly decision it was to send Breyvic Valera on that pop up. Even if he was safe because Tom Murphy missed the tag! Still silly! Then she has to stop her unrequited love for Brad Hand and Adam Cimber to talk about the mess they made in the bottom half of the ninth. Finally, a shout out to Robbie Ray and Connor Overton, because there are nice things about the Jays! It just doesn't feel that way right now.

Alek Manoah is worth staying up for. The Blue Jays have a chance to take the season series from the Angels, and it's in no small part due to the Herculean effort Alek Manoah put in for Toronto last night. A.J. Andrews breaks down how he continues to be everything Nate Pearson was supposed to be this campaign. She also discusses the impact the Ross Stripling injury has on the Jays' rotation and how different hitters are stepping up while Vladdy Jr. goes through a rough patch.

I think I was as burnt out by the Olympics as Japan was. After a week where A.J. Andrews had to put all her energy into covering water polo, she is back to discuss the Blue Jays' 9-2 homestand, their first on Canadian soil since 2019. She focuses on the capper, the 9-8 comeback win over the Sox, how George Springer announced he was back fully and completely, how role players like Breyvic Valera and Reese McGuire are making the Jays' lineup dangerous from top to bottom, and how the bullpen bailed out Hyun-jin Ryu and kept the Jays in it long enough to win that game.

Now how will you know what color my hair was without watching? The Blue Jays did things at the deadline, and A.J. Andrews is excited enough to talk about them again! She discusses the Jays' big move for José Berríos and why he was the athlete Toronto needed to land at the deadline, why Austin Martin and Simeon Woods Richardson were expendable enough to be dealt for such a target, and another bullpen addition in Joakim Soria (but really, she wants to talk about Brad Hand some more).

More fun than a rain delay. The trade deadline approaches and A.J. Andrews has some idea for what the Blue Jays can spend their product capital on. First, with rumours linking Toronto as a potential player for Texas' Joey Gallo, she examines what that would mean for Cavan Biggio and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and what Gallo would do for the lineup. Then she looks at starting pitching and she really wants to pry José Berríos from Minnesota, but would she give up Nate Pearson to do it? Finally, the bullpen. Yeah, still needs work. With Toronto and Philadelphia in a bidding war for Pittsburgh's Richard Rodríguez, she wonders if it would be worth the price to get him. (This happened before Houston got Kendall Graveman from Seattle for a song) Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

Le sigh. The Blue Jays are in a tailspin. Yes it's against the two division leaders in the East but losing five of six still doesn't feel great. Especially when it's the bullpen again giving up leads. A.J. Andrews discusses Jacob Barnes and Steven Matz not being able to capitalize against the eight former Blue Jays on the Mets, Trevor Richards not having the right stuff against the Red Sox, and why the Blue Jays batters keep having issues with rookie pitchers.

It's a good thing the host was playing sports instead of watching them on Monday... oh wait... A well-timed rain delay gave the Blue Jays and host A.J. Andrews some time to think after just what happened on Monday night. She discusses how quickly and aggressively the Red Sox put any thoughts that the Blue Jays' starting pitching behind its big three was fine enough, and hypothesizes what to do with Ross Stripling and Anthony Kay after that performance. Then she talks about Alek Manoah's slip n' slide injury and how Thomas Hatch was spared from being thrust into a situation he may not be ready for. Finally, with the final game in Buffalo on the horizon, she gives thanks for the city's hospitality over the past two years, and how building a strong link to the city in the mid-2010s was crucial in having such a successful tenure in Buffalo given the circumstances.

I'll be happy with this full vaccine protection, that's for sure. Happy I get to go back to Toronto because of it. After letting the antibodies course through her system, and fighting through the aches, pains and brain fog in the process, A.J. Andrews is coming back strong like the Blue Jays out of the All-Star break! She discusses Vlad Jr. setting the tone after his All-Star Game MVP showing, George Springer showing signs of life, the starting pitching toying with the Texas lineup, the delight in seeing Hyun-jin Ryu and Steven Matz look like their old selves, Ryan Borucki's return and Tayler Saucedo's continued impressive showing.

Gotta keep the episodes flowing while the momentum is there! It's series preview time! A.J. Andrews takes a look at the Blue Jays' upcoming three-game set with the Rays that will take them into the All-Star break. She goes over what the Blue Jays need from their starting pitchers (spoiler, it's more of the same stuff they did last week), goes over the starting lineup for tonight's game, and gets to say Dick Mountain on the podcast!

She's trying, y'all. She's giving it a go. She's sad the Rowdy puns end here. A.J. Andrews continues her resurgence by looking at the Tuesday trade the Blue Jays made with the Brewers. As is tradition, when a position player runs out of time in Toronto, he heads to Milwaukee and that was the case for Rowdy Tellez. A.J. looks back on his Toronto tenure and why it was easy to part with someone who the Jays previously saw such promise in. She discusses new bullpen arm Trevor Richards and what he brings back to the AL East following a brief stint in America's Dairyland. Finally, she talks about Bowden Francis and what the prospect offers the Blue Jays in terms of AAA depth and a potential future starter.

Trying is the key word. Given the absence over the past week, A.J. Andrews starts by explaining where she's been, both physically and mentally. They are taking wildly different paths at the moment. Then she starts actually talking about the Blue Jays. She discusses the return of Rafael Dolis, and where he should be slotted in now that the Jays have new bullpen arms available. She also discusses George Springer since his return from the IL, and what he has and hasn't been able to do for the team. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

No more Tyler Chatwood in the eighth!!! A.J. Andrews is excited by the news of the Blue Jays' four-player deal with the Marlins and what it means for the team. First, she discusses outfielder Corey Dickerson returning to his AL East stomping grounds, and why Rowdy Tellez' struggles this season emboldened the Jays to take on the salary for this left-handed batter. Next, she gushes over Adam Cimber, the submariner righty joining the Jays' pen and where he will fit in with his aggressive ground-ball tactics. Finally she bids farewell to Joe Panik, prospect Andrew McInvale and the DFA'd Travis Bergen, and why they were chosen to depart.

I wanted a nice happy show. I wanted a lot of things. A newly-Twitter approved A.J. Andrews wanted to talk about Alec Manoah having a good night and Vladdy hitting his 25th home run and George Springer getting off the 0-fer slide he was on since returning from the IL. Nope. She gets little of that, managing to force some Manoah talk in. However, yet again, she has to discuss the Blue Jays bullpen being terrible and being unable to find the plate and it hurts, y'all. She talks about why the Blue Jays have such a mess that a rookie making his third MLB appearance is being called on as a fireman, and if there's anyone on the farm that might be able to help.

Has to be good, right? A.J. Andrews has observed the Blue Jays making a brief run with a four-game win streak, and she's not impressed. Yes, this was a necessary turnaround against teams like the Marlins and Orioles, but there is still plenty of work to do. Against Miami, the slack was picked up by the two starters, and she heaps praise on Ross Stripling and Robbie Ray for their efforts. Finally, she figures out what Charlie Montoyo has done to solve his bullpen issues: employ a shortened bench. Hence the same trio of arms making appearances on multiple days.

I don't know if the desk is getting smoother or my forehead is. The Blue Jays have new, exciting ways to lose games and scoring opportunities and it's grating on A.J. Andrews. The bullpen blew yet another lead and she tries to grapple with how the Jays can continuously fail to protect leads. Then she goes into the 1-3-6-5-2-6 triple play, a thing that the Blue Jays helped create today, and dissects what went wrong. Finally, she looks at how Charlie Montoyo has been managing this beleaguered pen, and how his handling of Tayler Saucedo may be indicative of more problems with the team's direction.

Trying is hard. A.J. Andrews wanted to have a positive episode appreciating what Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been this season and what a testament it has been to his hard work. But the Jays' struggles of late have left her struggling to do so. She tries to compare him against Mike Trout, but again runs into some issues after seeing what has become of Trout's tenure in Los A-... Anaheim. Finally, she tries to picture where the ceiling is for Vladdy, but sees the bullpen waiting on top of the glass. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

I don't know why I had to bleep out the word "leak." A.J. Andrews is so tired of the Blue Jays bullpen. She's tired of having to talk about it in only negative ways. Granted, they had some help Thursday and Friday, but that doesn't make her any less grumpy. She details just how the bullpen is paining her, and goes over some proposed solutions. John Axford and David Robertson are not at the top of her list (Jairo Asencio is higher on her list). However, there are reasons to believe it will be fixed. She ends with that because positivity is good. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, the Audacy app and iTunes!

Such kind hosts in Chicago. One night after the Blue Jays' bullpen gifted the White Sox a victory, Toronto was the beneficiary of such a gift in a 6-1 decision. A.J. Andrews discusses how the White Sox' issues in the field needed to be taken advantage of and how important it was that Toronto actually managed to do it in spite of their best efforts, she talks about Alec Manoah's bounce-back effort and the resilience it showed, the bullpen delivering four solid innings, and she looks ahead to tomorrow's Hyun-jin Ryu start.

As the weather shifts, so does the host's mood. The Blue Jays can't have nice things. Robbie Ray went out and K'd 13 White Sox, and the Blue Jays lost because of another bullpen meltdown, and an offense that squandered way too many chances to put the pressure on the AL Central leaders. A.J. Andrews does her best to get through the negative so she can gush about Ray's performance, but there is a lot of negative tonight.

Had chicken strips for dinner tonight, even. A.J. Andrews is in a better mood. Beach is good, getting a vaccine is good, Blue Jays went 3-2 at home. So why is she complaining? She starts with the offense, which suffered when Vladdy was unable to get going. Then, Tyler Chatwood and Charlie Montoyo earn her ire again for not knowing when to just stop. Finally Danny Jansen's injury has her worried where any kind of offense is going to be coming from at the catcher's spot. At least Ross Stripling is on her good side for now!

Zach Pop is one of those pitchers writers love. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is very good. A.J. Andrews goes in-depth on this in this episode of the podcast. Plus she discusses Robbie Ray, Tim Mayza and Rafael Dolis all getting the bounce-back performances they needed, and she tees up Alec Manoah's second MLB start. She tries to keep herself restrained.

Could use a clearer head this week. Toronto is in the business of misery, and while A.J. Andrews isn't a conduit for the cries of Leafs fans, she does empathize a little bit how the Jays' recent road trip ended. She discusses Charlie Montoyo's decision to leave Tyler Chatwood in to do things Chicago fans know Tyler Chatwood does and why Montoyo still needs work on his field feel. Then she turns it around with praise for Marcus Semien's continued resurgence and for Rowdy Tellez and Joe Panik's performances in Cleveland, before taking a look ahead at the Miami series.

So tired y'all... It's 4AM, but A.J. Andrews really wants to talk about Alec Manoah and when the rain falls down to give her another chance at doing so in preview instead of review, she takes it! She details Manoah's rise through the minor leagues, the Spring Training stats that put him on the radar, the issues that may crop up in his first MLB start, and how many home runs Chris Herrman hit in the majors. It's relevant. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, the Audacy app and iTunes!

Remember last week A.J.? Yeah, she's not here right now. It has been a rough week, for both the host and the team she covers. A.J. Andrews has to spend the entire episode talking about the assortment of collapses the bullpen has had in the Jays' six-game skid, and she is not happy. She goes on about the various ways players were expected to go above and beyond their paygrade because of overuse in the pen, how players like Jeremy Beasley, Tim Mayza, Travis Bergen and Joel Payamps were forced into spots that did not set them up to succeed, and how Anthony Castro may be this season's Jordan Romano in terms of how he looks post-injury. Only the promise of Alec Manoah makes her happy. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, the Audacy app and iTunes!

That was very satisfying. After the Blue Jays thumped the Red Sox 8-0 in the opener of a three-game series, there's little for A.J. Andrews to do but offer praise! Ignoring Cavan Biggio's neck issue, she discusses the complete top-to-bottom performance by the lineup, but especially Vladdy, Teoscar and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (which is nice to see!). Hyun-jin Ryu's dominance of the Red Sox, a previous thorn in his side, had A.J. salivating. Finally, she discusses Rafael Dolis' return to action, and how he was able to work himself out of trouble. Just a nice happy episode! Oh wait, what happened in Tennessee today... Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

Thankfully it's the good kind of streaking. One that doesn't need KFC. A.J. Andrews is starting off the week with some numbers! Specifically the numbers that bolster Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s early case for AL MVP. It's not just that Mike Trout may be out for a while, or that he teed off on three straight Phillies pitchers either. His offense is lifting the whole team up. After that, A.J. offers praise for all three starters that faced Philadelphia, especially Anthony Kay who needed a performance of that caliber. But it's not all sunny, as one pitcher in the bullpen might be tossing himself out of a job when the calvary returns from the IL.

Unsurprisingly a rant is incoming. In the second half of a two-part crossover episode with Dan Wilson of Locked on Phillies, A.J. Andrews gets into the Philadelphia bullpen and why it's so bad.

Well, we were kinda right... In the first of a two-part episode recorded on Friday afternoon, A.J. Andrews is joined by Locked on Phillies host Dan Wilson to discuss the weekend series between the teams! They start with the remembrance of Roy Halladay and what Doc meant to both franchises, before diving into the pitching matchups on the weekend.

I wish I could say they were tears of joy. It's been a rough couple of days for A.J. Andrews, but at least the Blue Jays are providing a ray of positivity, given the way they swept through Atlanta this week. A.J. talks about the things she liked from the past two days, as well as the things she liked. Yes, this manages to be a very positive episode! Even with Ross Stripling mentioned for a whole segment! She also talks Teoscar's incredible run, Hyun-Jin Ryu's ace turn, and the bullpen that keeps on ticking. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

I played NBA Live as a kid, I know some of these references. A.J. Andrews isn't naughty by nature, but maybe some of that mischievous streak has appeared in this post-game episode! She discusses Toronto's 5-3 win over Atlanta, why Freddie Freeman's "brain fart" wasn't as much of a mistake as it appeared, how Vladdy and Teoscar can carry an offense by themselves but shouldn't have to, Robbie Ray being a pinnacle of consistency as of later, more Tanner Roark bashing, and Nate Pearson's demotion to AAA and what finding his groove back means for the team's success.

No pun intended. Just trying to stand myself at the moment... A.J. Andrews didn't have a good lockdown vacation. So she's trying to distract herself with some Blue Jays assessments at the 1/5 mark of the season. She tries to figure out what the Blue Jays have on offense, and if the recent trends of players like Danny Jansen and Rowdy Tellez coming up with hits is a sign that the lineup is coming together. She discusses Nate Pearson's 2021 debut, all the things wrong with it, and why Pearson has to start looking over his shoulder. Finally, she turns to her usual source of comfort these days: the bullpen, where Travis Bergen is the latest to come out with all the right pitches.

Things look slightly better than when this was recorded, but still... On Tuesday night, while Anthony Kay was getting a bit blown up by Oakland, A.J. Andrews sat down with Locked On A's host Jason Burke to discuss how the Athletics have been able to maintain their success in the face of massive defections, what it was like to see Marcus Semien return to the Bay Area, and get his thoughts on where the Jays and A's are heading the rest of the season!

It's been a very tough week. Not for the Jays. Just... tough. A.J. Andrews hasn't been doing well lately. So she's trying to break out of it, starting with the first appearance George Springer has made in a Blue Jays uniform... and his only four so far. She worries a lot now. She also talks about how important Nate Pearson's AAA debut was and how it will prevent some of the other Blue Jays injuries that have popped up. Then she pours one out for Alejandro Kirk and Anthony Castro hitting the IL. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

The fans in Florida better have thrown some hats on the field, 'sall I know. A.J. Andrews is swept up in the euphoria of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s hat trick of homers, two of which came off a three-time Cy Young winner in Max Scherzer. However, is Vladdy just masking sustained issues with the Blue Jays offense? She lets herself indulge, then comes back down with the rest of the team. Plus, an introduction to new minor-league infielder Christian Colón, and why no one can actually make a throw from third base.

It's amazing we were as positive as we were, really. On a day when both ladies had some brutal things happen, misery loves company. So A.J. Andrews and Gab from Locked on Red Sox get together to talk about the mid-week series. On Thursday, the two discussed the trends that emerged in the two games, who has been underperforming for both teams, and who has been a pleasant surprise. A warning: A.J's underperforming list is much longer than her overperforming list. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

I was all set to be angry there for a minute. Especially at Cavan Biggio... The Blue Jays earned a split with the Red Sox, and A.J. Andrews breaks down how it happened. First, an offensive performance that didn't rely on home runs, although insurance came a bit too late for her liking. Then, a move-the-chains pitching performance by the seven players who emerged from the Toronto bullpen, with a couple key standouts. Finally, a game plan that allowed the Jays to break out of their doldrums at the plate and get through a game without a true starter in the ranks.

500 episodes and still ranting about the lack of offense... Yup, we're back here again. A.J. Andrews kicks off another set of 500 episodes, by ranting about a very familiar topic: the lack of offensive production in another Blue Jays loss. Frustrated with just six hits in two games, five of which were provided by Bo Bichette and Randal Grichuk, she takes almost everyone else in the lineup to task, then warns that the return of George Springer and Teoscar Hernández won't be a miracle panacea for the problem. Finally, she discusses troubling signs with the starting pitching, but makes time to praise Joel Payamps and Anthony Castro for performing well in the face of all the Jays' injuries.

I don't think I've done 500 of anything. Maybe drank that many 2Ls of Coke... Locked On Blue Jays has reached 500 episodes! Thankfully on an off-day for the team. A.J. Andrews reflects on the journey from Episode 1, to Episode 13 when she took over from Shaun Doyle, to the landmark Episode 200, to now. She also looks back at the Blue Jays then and now, comparing the progress made on building the team. Finally, as usual, she turns to the fans and friends and shares their kind words.

Tell me Vladdy doesn't deserve all the AL awards. Episode 499 sees the host A.J. Andrews try to find as many awards as she can to award to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The start to the season for the former top prospect has been spectacular, and she sees signs of life from his teammates, like Rowdy Tellez and Alejandro Kirk. However, some teammates aren't pulling their weight. Andrews' ire turns to Marcus Semien in the leadoff spot, as the signing's OBP has plummeted. She offers a solution for who should be at the top of the lineup, at least until George Springer returns. Finally, she continues to bask in the glory of her Steven Matz prediction and his 3-0 start to the season, because that's more fun than talking about Anthony Kay and Tommy Milone.

The host was on the one-day IL with a bout of fatigue. They were activated today. The host isn't the only one as another rash of injuries strikes the Blue Jays. With three more pitchers heading to the IL, A.J. Andrews wonders just how far the depth of the organization will be tested and if they can weather the storm. She discusses how much more vital Robbie Ray, Steven Matz and Hyun-jin Ryu have become to sustaining the entirety of the pitching staff, a pitching staff that has seen its late-inning options repeatedly dwindle. Also, she talks about Cavan Biggio leaving Thursday's game and what would happy if he was to join the IL squad. At least she has a car again.

Life is about balance, a wise fortune cookie once told me... There's a lot to be happy about in regards to the Blue Jays' 7-3 win Tuesday night over the Yankees, but you know our girl by now. She can't let it all be happy. So A.J. Andrews does offer up deserved praise for Hyun-Jin Ryu after another stellar start and for members of the offense who delivered productive at bats, including Rowdy Tellez! However, she balances it out with injury updates on David Phelps and Julian Merryweather, and in the final segment discusses Aaron Hicks sitting out Monday's game against the Blue Jays, and why she is tired of this being a necessary move. Plus, a profound truth she found online in regards to society as a whole in this moment. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

There is a special place in hell for a special class of people. You know which ones. It has not been the best day for A.J. Andrews. While out doing errands, the radiator blew up on her car (time to hit up the Rock Auto website!). She had to walk multiple kilometers while carrying cat food and cases of Bubly. And her distractions betrayed her, culminating in the Blue Jays' feeble 3-1 loss to the Yankees. Yes, it was against Gerrit Cole, but they beat him before! There was no excuse! Anyway, she rails on the hitters in a continuation of her weekend podcast, but offers praise to Robbie Ray for a strong post-IL outing, Rafael Dolis for a solid game, and even congratulates Rowdy Tellez for knocking one of those zeroes out of his batting average!

Typical Blue Jays to wait until after midnight to start hitting... A.J. Andrews said she had some special anger saved up for the Blue Jays batters on this episode, ...but it's tough to do when recording in the middle of a 15-1 beat'emdown of the Angels. Still! There are problems! Andrews highlights some of the prime offenders like Rowdy Tellez and Danny Jansen, and even some of the young stars. She discusses the expanded zone that some hitters are giving to pitchers, and the lack of consistency that is hurting them at the plate. Plus, she touches on the COVID-IL tango that the Blue Jays are going through at the moment. At least it brought Josh Palacios up to do what he did tonight.

Oh those halcyon days of Monday... A.J. Andrews is not happy. Neither is kitteh co-host, but she is never happy. Instead, Andrews unleashes her ire on a trio of Blue Jays pitchers who have not been pulling their weight in the midst of a three-game slump. First Tanner Roark. Oh Tanner Roark. Andrews details why he should be promptly dropped from the rotation. Then Ross Stripling gets a turn as Andrews questions his pitch selection and how he's decided to work on his slider. Finally Rafael Dolis gets a turn, because... well, someone had to round out the trio so she could save her anger at the hitters for tomorrow.

Don't get me wrong, I always enjoy beating the Rangers... But A.J. Andrews does have some nits to pick after Toronto's 6-2 win over Texas on Monday. She discusses how the Jays hitters need to start taking advantage of their opportunities, especially struggling players like Rowdy Tellez and Bo Bichette. At least Cavan Biggio went yard. She then takes another victory lap on Steven Matz' performance, and against reminds listeners that she saw this coming. Finally, a preview of tonight's contest where she just wants mediocrity out of Tanner Roark. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

At least I still get all my Julian Merryweather puns... The Blue Jays are 2-1 after taking a series from the Yankees and A.J. Andrews has some thoughts! Shock, I know. She discusses her thoughts on the pitching performances put forth by the Blue Jays staff, but doesn't share the same warm and fuzzy feelings for the offense, particularly against Michael King on Sunday. She also previews the series with the Rangers, a team with an ERA above 10. Get some hits, Toronto. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

This is what you get when I record during a game. A.J. Andrews honors the fans that contributed their thoughts on the Blue Jays' Opening Day win over the Yankees and does her best to save her venom for the Saturday contest. She does her best to discuss what the Blue Jays need from their starters, why Julian Merryweather doesn't need to be one of them, and she attempts to close the episode off with a discussion of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s defense, but his offense interrupted with a special bulletin.

My posting schedule is a little mucked up, but I don't care. Not after that win yesterday. Baseball returned in an oh-so-satisfying way for Blue Jays fans. A.J. Andrews breaks down what she enjoyed the most from Toronto's 3-2 Opening Day extra-inning win over New York. She savors the salty tears of the racist Yankees bleacher bums, she revels in watching Julian Merryweather make the heart of the Yankees order look absolutely foolish, she takes delight in Teoscar being Teoscar, and highlights the one play that justified everything the front office had been preaching this offseason.

Apologies. I thought this uploaded last night. The final Division Day Crossover episode occurs as A.J. Andrews and Connor Newcomb of Locked on Orioles discuss their teams' perspective fortunes entering the season! First, A.J. offers her confidence in the pitching staff, how the team will do without George Springer and what the buzz is around the team. Then Connor tells fans about the Orioles' plans at second base, what having Trey Mancini back means to the team, and how Matt Harvey as a #2 starter doesn't faze him. Then predictions (aka a chance for A.J. to gush over Alejandro Kirk some more)! Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

I'm feeling better. Thanks for asking. Opening Day is approaching and the Blue Jays know it, you know it, and A.J. Andrews knows it! She goes over some of the roster decisions that have been confirmed by reporters online, as she talks about how Alejandro Kirk benefited from his own skills and the lack of offense from Danny Jansen and Reese McGuire to confirm his spot, how Jonathan Davis took his opportunity and got the chance thanks to George Springer's injury, T.J. Zeuch earning the chance to replace Robbie Ray, and Tim Mayza doing what A.J. expected all along and earning his place on the team with his strong recovery from his missed 2020.

Nope, not sounding any better... Part two of the epic Crossover episode between A.J. Andrews and Kevin Weiss of Locked on Rays is here! The pair discuss George Springer's impact on the team, A.J.'s choices for Tim Horton's locations growing up, Charlie Montoyo's growth as a manager, how Kevin Cash will shrug off the Snell Shock of the World Series, and the two make their predictions for the season ahead!

Man, I sounded so much better back then... An apologetic A.J. Andrews releases the first half of a two-part episode done with Kevin Weiss of Locked On Rays as part of Crossover Days on the network! On Wednesday, the two discussed the Blue Jays' strategy for finding starting pitching, what the Rays are doing with David Hess, which member of the Jays' legacy trio will have the best career and Kevin Cash's mad hatter plans for the Tampa lineup.

I guess I won't get the chance to work all these Kirby references in. All right then. Kirby Yates is likely done for the year with a second Tommy John surgery and A.J. Andrews isn't surprised. Not at the rate of Blue Jays' injuries this spring. She discusses the risks the team took and how they can mitigate their losses following this news. Then, more injury talk! George Springer's oblique and Robbie Ray's stairs get talked about, along with some progress on the road to recovery for a pair of young Jays arms. Finally, a brief overview of the past few days in Florida, including Bo Bichette starting to find his form, Vladdy still being Vladdy, and a shoutout to Santiago Espinal.

Yes, I will work every Kirby video game into a title reference at some point. A.J. Andrews starts a new week with the same old problem: Blue Jays are getting injured. This time it's Kirby Yates, who will miss weeks with a flexor strain in his pitching arm. She discusses what will need to be done to make up for Yates' absence and how the Blue Jays might have prepared for this happening. Then she salutes the youngsters of the spring with the help of some fans. It's mostly more Alec Manoah praise. Finally, she addresses a suggestion seen on Blue Jays Twitter in regards to bringing back a certain garbage person to pitch for the team with Yates injures. She explains why that is a terrible idea.

Twitter may be dumb, but Substack is outpacing it on a BB/K ratio. Back from a lively discussion of Toronto sports in general, A.J. Andrews uses the Blue Jays off-day to catch up on Wednesday's game. She wishes she didn't. She discusses another worrying offensive effort from the lineup, the injury to Thomas Hatch and what that means for Toronto's starting pitching depth, and the re-assignment of rookies to the minor league camp, and what that means for who stayed and who went.

Ya girl does more than hold her own, she owns this discussion. The second half of the Toronto Sports Roundtable that saw A.J. Andrews be joined by Sean Woodley of Locked on Raptors and Michael DiStefano of Locked on Leafs focuses on a ranking of the Top Five athletes in the Toronto sports market at this time. There is an easy pick for number one and it satisfies the Leafs talk, but then things get heated in the two slot. And A.J. goes off the board with a pick that has her co-hosts envious of her full Toronto sports knowledge. Hey, we gotta pump the tires here, because we know she'll definitely never do it herself.

Time to teach the boys a thing or two. Yes, the second-ever Toronto sports round table with Sean Woodley of Locked on Raptors and Michael DiStefano of Locked on Leafs graces the airwaves! The first half of the table centers around A.J.'s Blue Jays and Sean's Raptors, as the trio discusses the hope surrounding the Blue Jays this spring, and what the Raptors should do with Kyle Lowry.

Sorry for the politics in the first segment, but if you're complaining, you don't need to listen. A.J. Andrews starts the podcast with some words of mourning for the women slain by a white terrorist in Georgia today. Given the percentage of her family that is Asian, she discusses how much this hurts her to see and hear. Following that she discusses the Blue Jays pitching performances of the past few days, starting with Hyun-Jin Ryu going out and doing exactly what he needs to do to set the tone for this pitching staff. Robbie Ray is getting the message but are the others? Then she raves about Alec Manoah's dominant outing against the Yankees and wondering just how far away Manoah really is from major league ball. Then, given her dismissal of the offense yesterday, she does offer praise for a 21-hit, 14-run performance against the Phillies on Tuesday, and how a lot of bats that needed jump starts got it, and how Vladdy is going to win the MVP. Just kidding. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

There a lot of ways to accomplish what's in the title. Sometimes they are hard to find. A.J. Andrews starts off the week with admissions of darkness and what happened to her over the weekend from a mental standpoint, but how seeing some kind words were able to help lift her out of it. Amazing the power of a compliment. She doesn't have compliments for the Blue Jays hitters of late though, save for two. She discusses how Cavan Biggio's ability to lift the team when it needs it, and Alejandro Kirk's ability to just put bat on ball showed how vital they can be on days when the Toronto offense needs something to get going. Finally she recaps the Locked On Network fantasy baseball draft, the absolute horror that awaited her when she entered late, and how she turned that moment of sadness into a moment of happiness.

It's 3AM, she must be lonely... Staying up late following another night in the college basketball mines, A.J. Andrews has some things to discuss from the past two days of Blue Jays baseball. First, with an impressive mashing performance today, led by Vladdy Jr.'s 3-for-3 outing, the lineup looks as good as it reads on paper. Is this the year Guerrero takes that step forward as an All-Star candidate? Next, Andrews discusses the starts made by Ross Stripling and Big Diesel himself, Tanner Roark, and if a six-man rotation makes sense given that most of the starts are firing on all cylinders. Finally, Tim Mayza talk, because she likes Tim Mayza and wants him to succeed. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

I like Boston. I like Boston better when the Jays are better though. Division Day continues on the Locked On Podcast network as Locked On Red Sox host Gab Starr joins A.J. Andrews for a lively discussion about their respective teams! Gab confirms that if she can't root for the Sox, she's supporting the Jays, which makes her very qualified to discuss topics like the Blue Jays' rotation, the growth of the young stars and why the teams keep fighting over Joel Payamps. And A.J. can't help but ask if she should draft Hirokazu Sawamura on all her teams, and what happened to that Sox outfield. Plus predictions! Because of course!

At least they aren't terrible injuries to talk about. Yes, more injuries popped up at Blue Jays Spring Training. It's not surprising, but A.J. Andrews does her best to rationalize what the news on George Springer and Julian Merryweather's ailments means for the team as it prepares for April. At least there is good Nate Pearson news. Plus, A.J. discusses some topics from today's 4-1 win over the Phillies, such as the sheer revenge Steven Matz is enacting on the Phillies, all the bullpen arms working in unison, and some interesting positional decisions that should benefit the team moving forward.

Andrews has a lot of ground to cover today, so she wastes no time diving into the news of Nate Pearson's groin strain, what that means for the Blue Jays' top prospect and how it will affect Toronto's plans. Then she talks about some impressive performances from the weekend as the likes of Josh Palacios, Riley Adams and Tim Mayza looked sharp. Finally, she reflects on International Women's Day, the women who influenced her on the path to this point, and takes a moment to talk about the passing of former MLB pitcher Rheal Cormier.

In the words of Faithless, I can't get no sleep... Following two days where A.J. andrews was unable to record due to the machinations of the WCC Tournament's schedule, she is here on Friday to deliver the first fan episode of the year! She discusses what players the fans are keeping their eyes on in Spring Training, from the stars like George Springer, to the ....not-stars. Sorry Breyvic Valera. We do talk positively about him though! Thanks to @BlueJayMatt, @pugganoche, @jaysinflight, @JCattail914 and @USofJays for submitting their thoughts!

At least now we know Corey Kluber's arm did not fall off. The second half of the conversation between A.J. Andrews and Stacey Gotsoulias of Locked On Yankees wraps up the first division day of the month! The two women discuss the free agents that they are happy did not end up signing with the team (one guess what that discussion is centered on), the joys of watching a championship and hoping the Blue Jays' parade will be due soon, and some forced predictions because honestly, we just want this season to go off without a hitch!

Yay! Guests are back! We're kicking off a string of Division Day Wednesdays on the podcast network, as A.J. Andrews is joined by the first of her four other A.L. East hosts for a discussion of the upcoming season! Stacey Gotsoulias of Locked On Yankees is on to what it meant to see George Springer sign with the Canadian team, and how fun it was that the Blue Jays defeated the Yankees to open up Spring Training!

By the time you read this, I'll already be asleep. A.J. Andrews continues her look at the glorious first three days of undefeated Blue Jays baseball (yes, it's Spring Training. She doesn't care) by talking about some of the early pitching performances. In terms of starters there were things to like about Robbie Ray, Steven Matz and Nate Pearson's outings, although Pearson has a little way to go. She discusses the Sunday battle for depth order as there was good (Anthony Kay), bad (T.J. Zeuch) and ugly (Jacob Waguespack). Finally she wraps up by expressing joy at seeing reports of a man who's arm fell apart in front of her step back onto the mound. We see you, Tim Mayza.

The people wanted it. The people got it. More Blue Jays talk is back. Yes, the return of baseball has lifted the spirits of A.J. Andrews, enough that she can actually talk about baseball again! For longer, too! In this episode, she lays out how she's going to tackle the season, starting with being able to see Marcus Semien on the field for Toronto (and hear about George Springer. Sportsnet.), Jonathan Davis and Rowdy Tellez having strong starts to the exhibition season, and a non-roster player who caught her eye. Strap in, y'all! The ball game is back!

Not happy I have to burn both those puns in one title. While we've been talking a lot about the players the Blue Jays have brought into the fold recently, a pair of prominent 2020 members did depart this month. A.J. Andrews looks at the value that Derek Fisher and Shun Yamaguchi gave the team during their respective times in Toronto. That's why this is a short episode. Still, we can laugh about Derek Fisher catching balls with his head one more time at least. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

They can't all be winning names. A.J. Andrews finally completes her new acquisition trilogy (a rate George R. R. Martin would be proud of!) by discussing the return of David Phelps on a one-year deal. What is the veteran right-hander going to offer the Blue Jays in his second tour of duty? How does he fit into the bullpen picture this season? Who or what is a Joel Payamps and why was he listed on the Jays' 40-man roster for two weeks? These are the questions that our host answers to the best of her abilities! Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

At least this video game reference is a little more relevant nowadays. A.J. Andrews continues her revival by talking about the last thing she needs to discuss from January. The Blue Jays traded three pitchers to get Steven Matz from the Mets, but the reactions were... mixed to negative on getting a guy with a 9.68 ERA in 2020. Andrews talks about how this fits the pattern the Blue Jays have used to trade for arms in recent years and the chances that Matz will be able to overcome what happened to him last season. How does she feel? ...Meh. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

Kirby and the Crystal Shards on Nintendo 64 was the first non-Pokemon game I ever got 100% on. It was awesome. After a period of mental stress, burnout and just not feeling like herself anymore, A.J. Andrews returns again with the first of a trio of podcasts looking at what the Blue Jays have done to improve their pitching staff in 2021, and it starts with the man who has been waiting a long time for his day, Kirby Yates. Andrews discusses why he was available at a knock-down price, why he was more attractive to the Blue Jays than some other options, and how he will impact the roles of Rafael Dolis and Jordan Romano.

I don't care if no one gets that reference. I Believe is a banger. No, Kirby Yates isn't getting his day in the sun yet. That's coming! But the Blue Jays made another signing to pull A.J. Andrews out of another spiral, and she's going to talk about why Marcus Semien is even better than Michael Brantley! Really! There's proof in the numbers! She also tries to put together a Blue Jays lineup and comes to the conclusion that they are going to be a force in the AL East. Now about that starting pitcher...

OK, now we're going to talk about George Springer. Apologies to Kirby Yates, but you'll have your day in the sun at some point. Right as A.J. Andrews started recording this episode, the news broke that pending a physical, George Springer was going to be a Blue Jay. She does her best to try and shift so dramatically, a turn not seen since Hyun-Jin Ryu's pre-Christmas deal. Springer checks all the boxes Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins wanted to fill. Now what happens? Andrews tries to contextualize and temper expectations, but honestly, it's hard to do that right now. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

You know it's big when I bust out the capital letters. No, this isn't about George Springer. Not yet. Message the podcast when his name is on the virtual dotted line. But, the Blue Jays have started signing people! So many people we need to stretch it out over multiple podcasts! First up, the inking of former FA darling Tyler Chatwood to a one-year, $3 million deal. A.J. Andrews discusses why Chatwood fell from that lofty contract he signed with the Cubs, what the Blue Jays can expect from him, and what Jays From the Couch writer Jim Scott brought up and why Chatwood fits right into that strategy.

You know, like when you're staring at the remaining Christmas candy and you know you shouldn't eat it but it's just sitting there? Those feelings. It has been a rough couple of days, in baseball and in the world at large. A.J. Andrews does her best to fight through all the pain she's been feeling to try and discuss what the heck the Blue Jays do now that Francisco Lindor and Tomoyuki Sugano are off the table. She talks about how Toronto was never a serious player for Lindor, but should be interested in putting together that kind of package for a third baseman, how the Mets' big-spending ways won't be impacted and George Springer is no closer to Toronto now than he was before, and how Sugano's excuse for not signing with Toronto ranks up there as one of the biggest bald-faced lies ever told in baseball.

I'm not feeling much of a difference between 2020 and 2021 yet. I blame the snow. A.J. Andrews made a resilution to stop recording all her podcasts in the wee hours of the morning, and she's sticking to it with this first episode of 2021! Now she wants to hold the Blue Jays to their resolution of getting more talent in the organization via free agency! They are close on a pair of arms, and Andrews discusses how adding Tomoyuki Sugano would be a much more palatable solution than going after attention-seeker Trevor Bauer, the difference between bringing Sugano over as opposed to other notable Japanese hurlers in the AL East past, and how Liam Hendriks' visit to Dunedin is the most concrete sign yet of a player being close to signing with the Blue Jays and means more than mere speculation.

Happy New Year's y'all. Look forward to all the discussion in the next year about this team. We have come to the finale as A.J. Andrews delivers her final episode counting down the Top Five Most Important Blue Jays of the 2020 season. For some people, the top slot is not a surprise, but it might be unearned in the eyes of others. Yes, her selection for the most important member of the MLB team in 2020... is Nate Pearson. Not just for the promise he held and what he tried to deliver on, but how he struggled to do so and already showed signs of adjusting what he needed to do following an injury break. A.J. assesses how he looks moving forward and what he can do in 2021 to make sure he gets more than a couple innings of postseason action.

See, now this is where I'm going to expect the yelling to start. Because y'all are smart and can put two and two together from here. A.J. Andrews is in the homestretch of her countdown ahead of New Year's Day, and her number two selection should really get the people talking. Because that means someone else is at number one and given the criteria of this list, it may not make as much sense. Still, Hyun-Jin Ryu takes down this slot, and A.J. explains how the lefty needed to come out with a strong season to justify the contract signed, and how in backing up that investment, Ryu set the tone for this offseason's spending. She then looks ahead at what Ryu needs to do next year to continue this success. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

Yup. Continuing to be super mysterious about this list. Doesn't help the SEO, but the intrigue! It's palpable! At least until she spoils it shortly after starting this episode. For now though, A.J. Andrews continues her ranking of the Top Five Most Important Blue Jays of 2020 with a look at the top MVP-vote-getter among Blue Jays players this season, Teoscar Hernández. There's a big reason Teoscar was able to have the season he did despite managing to strike out at the same rate he always did, and Andrews covers it while emphasizing just how important it was for him to step up in more ways than one for Toronto. Now if only he could stop making the host scream her lungs out with some of his plays in the outfield... Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

The most obvious answer is the correct one, but I'm trying to filler out the Spotify description so it's kind of a mystery. A.J. Andrews continues her countdown of the Top Five most important Blue Jays of 2020 and number four takes us into the outfield for the first time, and maybe he should have been referenced in the famous sons talk, but hey! Mystery! Anyway, Andrews discusses the strides Lourdes Gurriel Jr. made last season, especially on his defence to offer the Blue Jays some sort of answer in regards to the players charged with roaming the artifical turf once the team returns to Toronto.

Let the arguments begin. A.J. Andrews kicks off her Top Five list of the Most Important Blue Jays of 2020 with the only one of the famous three MLB sons to make it onto the countdown. While she has her reasons for excluding the other two, mostly for reasons that this is a Top Five list and not a "Rank All the Blue Jays" list, what Cavan Biggio did this season is prove how valuable his particular set of skills is going to be the Blue Jays going forward, and how it's letting them dip their toes in all the free agent pools this winter.

Gotcha. Sorry. It'll be worth it though! A.J. Andrews is counting off the remaining few days of this hellscape year with a Top Five list of her most important Blue Jays of 2020! She knows that lists are catalysts for well-argued debate and civil discourse, so get ready for a lot of that! She starts by naming some honorable mentions, three each from the hitting and pitching sides of the ball, that needed 2020 to prove some things. Some of them fell flat, some of them did very well.

Javi Reyes must be cartwheeling right now. A.J. Andrews returns from another period where her mental health has failed her to discuss just what happened in MLB on Dec. 28. And by MLB, we mean in San Diego, since they did everything. She discusses what Blake Snell leaving the AL East, Ha-Seung Kim signing on with the Padres and the Cubs giving up on their fans out of spite means for the Blue Jays and what they are trying to accomplish this offseason.

No offense to Tyler White, but come on. With only minor league signings to talk about before, A.J. Andrews discusses why the major league signings haven't been forthcoming with the Blue Jays. Using the Toronto Star's Gregor Chisholm's recent column as a framing device, she discusses the cause-and-effect that most signings will have on the team and how that can upset the continued growth of the core. Then folding in Bo Bichette's recent appearance on Ross Stripling's podcast, she figures out why DJ LeMahieu is on top of his FA wishlist, and how Gregor arrived at the conclusion of this being Bo's team, and what that does to what the Blue Jays want to do.

At least the host is used to birthdays with minimal people, so this pandemic one was no problem. Fresh off a day of cupcakes and new clothes, A.J. Andrews is back, slightly older but just as wise. She unwraps the present that the Blue Jays got her for her birthday: three minor-league signings! Two of whom should be very familiar to Blue Jays fans! She discusses what Tyler White, Forrest Wall and Richard Ureña bring to the organization and what it would mean to see any of them in a Jays uniform in 2021.

All those rumours and this is what I get? Yes, this is what she gets. The Blue Jays filled out their 40-man roster, and not in ways that the fans have been expecting. A.J. Andrews discusses what Walker Lockett and Anthony Castro bring to the table that the Mariners and Tigers didn't want to keep around. Spoiler: they may not be around long enough to do the things she talks about. Plus, a Rule V Draft review, most about the Blue Jays losing a bunch of players.

Give the people what they want... eventually... A.J. Andrews returns with a long-awaited episode discussing why the Blue Jays shouldn't sign Marcell Ozuna or Kyle Schwarber. The point should be obvious, but it does allow her to dovetail in the Winter Meetings in general and what the Blue Jays did not do. Plus, James McCann signed a four-year deal with the Mets! Why does this matter? Because now the Blue Jays are a lock to sign J.T. Realmuto! She explains why this thought is very rushed.

So many outfielders... With 59 players being non-tendered this week, A.J. Andrews needed help sorting through them all. So she turned to Josh Neighbors of Locked On Nationals and the two hosts combine to discuss who their respective teams can target, why so many players were non-tendered, and how much A.J.'s obsession with making Brad Hand a Blue Jay has died down.

You can hum "Kids in America" now. I am. Thanks Len. With MLB.com updating its rankings of MLB prospects, A.J. Andrews assesses Mike Rosenbaum's assessment of the Blue Jays farm system and where some of the top prospects are. She notes the success the Toronto front office has had at making their high-value picks count, and how that set the team up for a lot of what it wants to accomplish in the years ahead. She also highlights a couple of below-the-radar prospects that have tools that could come into play as the Blue Jays move closer to contention.

2020 is doing it's best to go out with a bang. A.J. Andrews is not doing great. She discusses the news that a couple of friends got, one on a more personal level, the other on a more Blue Jays-relevant level. With the news that Mike Wilner would not be doing play-by-play for Sportsnet this season, she discusses what made the friend of the show so good at vocalizing the thoughts of the fan base and channeling what made Toronto sports their best. Then, more Francisco Lindor talk, because why wouldn't there be? Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

This is exactly what happened when I controlled the Blue Jays in MVP Baseball 2005. The Blue Jays are apparently signing everyone! At least that's what reports are saying! A.J. Andrews breaks down the various rumours that the Jays are interested in Michael Brantley, Justin Turner, J.T. Realmuto and Ha-Seong Kim, and makes clear her preference for who Toronto should add to the roster! She also touches on the news that Toronto offered Kevin Gausman a three-year deal and he turned it down, and there are obvious reasons why.

Pretty sure I've used this title before. In the ongoing coverage of "players who may be Blue Jays" we have our first "again" to add to that title, as J.P Morosi of MLB.com has linked J.A. Happ to Toronto... immediately after linking him to Texas and the Angels. A.J. Andrews looks over Happ's numbers in New York and wonders whether or not a reunion with the 2018 All-Star would be beneficial for the Blue Jays.

Think of the puns! A.J. Andrews begins a further look at some Blue Jays free agent targets with Kolten Wong. Fans may not be familiar with the former Cardinal, but Andrews likes what Wong brings to the table, and does her best to explain why he could be a better option than D.J. LeMahieu.

So tired, y'all. A.J. Andrews presses on, talking about the implications the Blue Jays' additions will have on the 40-man roster as the team aims for big moves in the off-season. Shockingly, the news is not good for Derek Fisher. But who else is on the edge? And how will the Blue Jays start creating space for new players? A.J. has some answers.

In the words of Lisa Miskovsky, I'm still alive. A.J. Andrews breaks her silence during a rough week to discuss the five players the Blue Jays added to the 40-man roster ahead of next month's Rule V draft. Gabriel Moreno, Riley Adams, Otto Lopez, Josh Palacios and Ty Tice are at varying levels of what they can bring to the team, but they all have their reasons for being here, and Andrews goes over all of them. She also discusses why names like Logan Warmoth were left off, and identifies the player the Blue Jays are most likely to lose in the draft.

Yeah, this still isn't helping. Following a summation of what the Blue Jays got in the 2012 deal with the Marlins, A.J. Andrews assesses what the Toronto team gave up and how much it ended up costing the team in capital down the road. Then, armed with her knowledge of transactions from the past decade, A.J. does her best to construct a trade that would be more likely to satisfy what Cleveland is looking to acquire in exchange for Francisco Lindor.

This is not going to help the host's depression issues. A.J. Andrews does her best to get back on the airwaves. She thanks the fans for their support on Twitter as she battles through a rough patch, and then attempts to lift her spirits by re-visiting the 2012 Blue Jays-Marlins trade! In this episode, she goes over the haul that the Blue Jays landed from the Marlins and the lessons that can be drawn to Ross Atkins' efforts to land a star player in this off-season.

She's trying y'all. A.J. Andrews manages to get another episode out, thanks to a Blue Jays mystery! Ross Atkins said the team was close to signing another deal at the same time they locked up Robbie Ray, but who could it be??? Everyone has their thoughts and the intrepid host has her own, but she runs a little counter to the prevailing theory. It's not a Ken Jeong-level guess, I swear.

Yep, still feeling like hell. A.J. Andrews fights through a sore throat and a headache to talk about the Miami Marlins' hiring of Kim Ng, the first female and Asian-American GM in MLB history. She discusses why it took so long for her to actually get this job and what it opens up. Plus, she goes over the award results, why she only went 7/8 and what it means for Freddie Freeman to take home an MVP trophy. Plus a cameo Ryan Tepera mention!

Is Robbie Williams still making music? He has to be. A.J. Andrews continues working through her grief as she looks at the the MLB Trade Rumors Top 50 free agents piece, with the Blue Jays expected to be heavy players in the offseason! However, she has some issues with their projected targets. First she looks at Jake Odorizzi, who had a snake-bitten 2020, but are there signs that his performance may not just be due to bad luck? Then she notes the underserved faction of free agents she feels will be key to exploit. Finally, she discusses DJ LeMahieu, who seems like the perfect solution for the Blue Jays OBP problem, but is he a true fit for a team that is looking for help in other places?

RIP Alex Trebek. One of the greatest Canadians. A.J. Andrews tries to talk her way through a sombre day of shows, starting with the news that the Blue Jays are running Robbie Ray back for another season. She discusses what Ray did during his brief tenure in Toronto to earn this extended tour of duty, the changes that Pete Walker has started to implement and how some trends in his velocity explain what Ray needs to do differently in order to maintain that course correction he started while based in Buffalo.

Happy things. All the happy things. Toronto's outfield has gone from question marks to questing for awards in a matter of months, and A.J. Andrews dissects what that means. First, Teoscar Hernandez nailing down a Silver Slugger award, and with it, solidifying his spot on the roster and the faith of Blue Jays upper management. Then, Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s Gold Glove nomination and how continued defensive growth from the left fielder will help the entire squad. It's nice to talk about these things.

I feel like a collective sigh of relief has escaped from my body. A.J. Andrews returns from what has been a very stressful week. She explains her thoughts on the idea of keeping politics and sports separate and why she can't abide by that maxim. Then she returns to sports talk with a couple of pieces on Vladimir Guerrero Jr. She discusses how Vlad dropping all that quarantine weight was necessary for him to return to the success he enjoyed pre-MLB debut, and then lambastes him for wanting to return to third base full-time, and why that should not happen if the Blue Jays want to win big in 2021 and beyond.

Jesse Lacey is not a good man, but I've always wanted to use that song reference. Chris Archer is a tantalizing arm on the free agent market, and Blue Jays fans have been buzzing since his departure from Pittsburgh was confirmed. A.J. Andrews dives into what went wrong with the Pirates, what his outlook post-injury is, and if it makes sense for the Jays to take the gamble on the former All-Star. Plus, listener TJ Robinson has a question about some possible prospects the Blue Jays can acquire! Sorry to say TJ, the outlook isn't so good.

Now the fun begins... The Blue Jays weren't the only team to cut players loose yesterday, and A.J. Andrews has some thoughts on who could help Toronto build it's bullpen for 2021! She starts off small with low-budget acquisitions like Tommy Kahnle (a 2022 option) and David Robertson, before ramping up in the second half. Cam Bedrosian could be a very nice piece according to her, but she gushes, and pleads, and begs for the Blue Jays to sign one arm in particular. Someone, give her a hand.

I couldn't resist. A.J. Andrews has decided the theme of the day is options, and she starts with a couple that the Blue Jays exercised yesterday. She discusses how both Rafael Dolis and Chase Anderson made it easy in their own ways to make the decision to exercise and decline their respective club options.

And now for something completely different... It's that time when there is little Blue Jays content to talk about, so A.J. Andrews is very thankful that Ian Hunter (@BlueJayHunter) compiled a list of the 28 Blue Jays players to only appear in one game for the franchise! Andrews takes a few guesses but is way off, and then she goes down memory lane with each name. Some of them are very short memories. Some don't exist. But it's a fun diversion, and we need those right now!

I hate that I have to talk about this guy. A column from the Toronto Star's Rosie DiManno heavily advocates for the Blue Jays making a pitch to Trevor Bauer in spite of his off-the-field antics, and A.J. Andrews isn't impressed. Following in the wake of a piece that Gideon Turk wrote for Blue Jays Nation, Andrews offers her views on how signing Bauer would run contrary to everything the front office aimed to establish, especially given the departure of another starter, and how signing Taijuan Walker makes more sense long-term.

C'mon Tampa Bay. With Game 5 of the remaining ALDS series tonight, A.J. Andrews offers her views on two teams she has seen a lot of this season; the Rays and Yankees. She discusses what both Gerrit Cole and Tyler Glasnow need to do to maintain their perfect status, how the home-run ball will factor into this matchup, and one key area where Tampa Bay will have the advantage on New York. Although in her fantasy land, OK Blue Jays rings throughout Petco Park as Toronto comes charging in. Dreams. Only dreams. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

Seriously. Game of the year. A.J. Andrews finishes up her dual-chambered episode day with a look at lessons from the NLDS for the Blue Jays to take hold. She gives a shoutout to ex-Jay Jon Berti, but highlights why he is part of the problem Miami is having with Atlanta, and what this should mean for Toronto's shopping list in the offseason.

Sorry. No easy joke here. With no more Blue Jays games to watch for the year, A.J. Andrews is turning her attention to the broader spectrum of the MLB playoffs. She starts with the ALDS and an annoyed admittance that Houston is good again, and peaking at the right time. However, a trend has emerged that is leading to Astros' success, and it's one illustrated by the Yankees' use of ex-Jay J.A. Happ. This trend of bullpen days has caused calamity for teams forced to employ it, and the Blue Jays would do well to take note. Even if this format will never be repeated, the lessons will ring into 2021's postseason and beyond... Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

This is much more fun than talking about the Rays. Ross Atkins wants to make some improvements to the 2021 Blue Jays and A.J. Andrews is definitely here for it! She goes over Atkins' statements to the media on Friday afternoon and spends the first night of her vacation dreaming about some of the things Atkins can do to achieve the things that he stated. She even has suggestions for a couple of moves, including signing one impending free agent while staying away from another on the market. Plus, is now the time to ask Cleveland about Francisco Lindor? Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

Let us not forget, there is hope. A.J. Andrews continues her look through the remains of the Blue Jays' brief postseason stay with a glimpse at how the Rays were able to counter perceptions and make trades that gave them the players that played a key role in the Jays' defeat. There is something to be learned here. Andrews also overviews the pitching, which outside of Hyun-Jin Ryu was pretty good. She is especially excited with the postseason debut of Toronto's top prospect and what that means for the future. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

You have to allow time to grieve... or do a bunch of work before a vacation. After a couple of days to think about just what all happened during the Blue Jays' brief two-game foray into the postseason, A.J. Andrews finally is able to talk about what she saw during those games. Suffice to say, watching other teams flounder around more than Toronto did helped lighten her mood towards the Jays' bats. Danny Jansen can now say he outperformed entire teams during the playoffs, and Andrews discusses how important that was for Jansen in the grand scheme of things.

Honestly, I wrote Electricity in the earlier episode knowing this would be an easy pun if they lost. The Blue Jays lost Game 1 of their three-game wild-card series against the Rays. This was expected. So how did it get this way? To help A.J. Andrews dissect everything from today's game, she welcomes Locked On Red Sox host and honorary Blue Jays fan Gabrielle onto the podcast! In a supersized episode, the girls talk about the Matt Shoemaker decision, the Blue Jays' inability to get hits, Jonathan Villar having a sook, other American League happenings from today, and A.J.'s 2018 plan that would get Mike Trout and other deserving players into the postseason!

They can totally do this! Maybe. Now that the Blue Jays know they are battling the Rays in the playoffs, A.J. Andrews talks about the changes the Blue Jays need to make to their playoff roster to adjust. Also, has Chase Anderson pitched himself onto the playoff roster? She discusses this.

The regular season is done! Did y'all think we would get here? A.J. Andrews reflects on the end of the regular season and how the Blue Jays totally fulfilled her expectations for the campaign. Seriously, look it up. In July, she called it. She also talks about the Blue Jay that played themself off the roster, and it is exactly who you think.

We did it, y'all. We got back to the promised land. A.J. Andrews is tired but happy. For the first time, she gets to talk about the Blue Jays as a confirmed playoff team. The analyzing and stats can come later. For now, she just wants to bask. Her friend @Kirshenblatt wants to keep expectations grounded in reality, but Andrews may not be in the mood to believe it at the moment.

See this is happier, right? The Blue Jays announced their selections for their 2020 Playoff Pool and A.J. Andrews does the best she can with the talent on offer to build a team that can put a scare into the top seeds of the American League. It isn't easy. There is at least one name that people will be surprised gets left off. Don't worry, she didn't do anything silly like put Brandon Drury on the team. Just had to make some hard choices that may be rendered irrelevant due to injury. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

Last time I make that pun. I swear. Least it should be. A.J. Andrews kicks off a Tuesday night doubleheader with a melange of topics from the day she missed and the game today. There isn't a lot of praise, mostly sadness. Sadness at the new of Ken Giles' Tommy John surgery and what that means for his future in MLB, be it with the Jays or not. Sadness at another double-digit drubbing at the hands of the Yankees, erasing the feel-good vibes from Monday. Sadness that Wilmer Font is still on this team. Fun times in the midst of a hurricane.

Seriously. The computer is supposed to be on its way. This will be over soon. A.J. Andrews continues to battle through audio issues to skewer the Blue Jays starting pitchers that aren't named Hyun-Jin Ryu or Taijuan Walker. She records a call via a droid for Matt Shoemaker, while wondering what the collection of Tanner Roark, Chase Anderson, Robbie Ray and Ross Stripling would do for the team in the playoffs. Plus, her worries about the bullpen are founded! Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

It's been a long week. Even the computers are committing errors. A.J. Andrews fights through the poor audio to regain contact with the Blue Jays fandom after a week that felt so very long and so very horrible. She discusses why the Jays' power outage was rightly worse than it seemed. Plus, there is praise for the one man that can restore her faith in Toronto's ability to actually generate some offense.

What can you do? What can you bloody do? Following another game that the Blue Jays were out of by the third inning, A.J. Andrews tries to find the silver lining, but it's hard. She's happy for Joe Panik hitting a home run. There is not much else happy, especially not with Tanner Roark, who is pitching himself out of any possible playoff plans for Toronto. Plus, with the news that Ken Giles was placed back on the IL, Andrews wonders if he has pitched his last game for the Jays, but she is bolstered by the words of a friend.

Y'all knew this wasn't going to be a happy one. The Blue Jays were demolished. Again. By a New York team. Again. While the pitching staff deserves its share of the blame for allowing the Yankees batters to tee off in a 20-6 shellacking, the fan base had one man in specific to focus their lightning-bolt hate on tonight. And he deserves it. Because time and time again, that man has failed to execute the most basic of MLB-level plays. A.J. Andrews goes off and casts Derek Fisher out.

I always called him Sniper because of Tobias McKinney from Extreme Dodgeball. Billy McKinney is the latest player to be exodused (is that a word?) from the Blue Jays organization, and A.J. Andrews knows what this means from a few different perspectives. She goes over what McKinney's departure means for the Shapiro/Atkins haters, as well as for the health of the organization as a whole!

You know the one. It's not Bad Romance. A.J. Andrews finishes her wrap-up of her time away from the Blue Jays beat due to her traitorous computer setup by talking about the new and returning Blue Jays in the lineup this weekend! She discusses everyone's favorite Large Adult Son Alejandro Kirk, the return of Bo Bichette, the potential returns of Rowdy Tellez, Teoscar Hernández, Matt Shoemaker and Nate Pearson!

This would have been so much more relevant last week... Finally, the AL East crossover connection is complete! A.J. Andrews connects with Gabrielle from Locked on Red Sox for a lovely discussion about how the Yankees are whiners, how Rowdy Tellez keeps destroying Boston pitching, why the Red Sox have fallen as far as they have, and much more!

Right, 400th episode. That last one. Do people celebrate milestones anymore? Nah. A.J. Andrews acknowledges the 401st episode of the podcast and the second half of the doubleheader with some pitching talk! While she worries about the various ways in which Hyun-Jin Ryu and Taijuan Walker looked vulnerable against the Yankees, once again, the bullpen comes to the rescue. Andrews discusses how Julian Merryweather and Shun Yamaguchi's respective emergences just lengthen an already dangerous unit and could provide the Blue Jays a crown-shaped key to playoff success.

Keegan Matheson will understand the meaning of the title. Ask him about it. A.J. Andrews returns from her Labor Day away from sports and social media with the first of a happy doubleheader! She discusses how beautiful the Blue Jays' 10-run sixth inning was on Monday night, and how the Yankees are a bunch of whiny babies. She is more mature when pointing out how that inning was the encapsulation of everything the Jays have learned this season. Plus Jonathan Davis made an immediate impact in his MLB return! Andrews discusses how even these nights when the offense is doing nothing are a sign of how far the Jays have come. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

It seriously took longer to upload this podcast than it did to watch the game. The Blue Jays finally put away the Red Sox to claim the five-game series. There were aspects of the win that A.J. Andrews really liked, such as Rowdy Tellez and Lourdes Gurriel stepping up in Teoscar Hernández's absence, and Joe Panik continuing to stay hot. There were things she didn't like, such as Robbie Ray, and the bullpen still showing the strains of its workload. She talks about all of them while still fighting her computer to the death over its insolence. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

The pain in trying to get these episodes up, y'all... Teoscar Hernández is hurt. This is a bigger problem than anticipated. A.J. Andrews goes over what the Blue Jays can do if one of MLB's top home-run hitters is going to miss the rest of the season. Spoiler, none of them make up for the offense Teoscar has provided. She also offers updates on all the injured Blue Jays and when they might be able to get back onto the field. There is not good news for Matt Shoemaker.

My computer has been about as effective as Reese McGuire... A pair of Blue Jays earned the ire of the fans last night, and A.J. Andrews is all about channeling that energy to let your voices be heard! Reese McGuire already earned his ticket off the squad as Caleb Joseph is promoted from the taxi squad, but what about Derek Fisher? Many of you know what you want to do with the Jays outfielder and you get your say here!

This has been a stressful week... Probably not as stressful as the four players the Blue Jays have acquired the past couple of weeks, but still. Computer issues suck. A.J. Andrews fights through them to give you her thoughts on how Taijuan Walker, Robbie Ray, Jonathan Villar and Ross Stripling are settling in with the team. There will be more content to come... I hope.

Nice to know I share similar shopping tastes to Ross Atkins... The Blue Jays were arguably the busiest American League team at the deadline, with three more deals on the final day of dealing. So what do Robbie Ray, Jonathan Villar and Ross Stripling bring to Toronto/Buffalo? Well, there has to be more than acquiring the National League leaders in walks allowed, times caught stealing and home runs allowed respectively, right? Spoiler: there is. A.J. Andrews breaks down how all three trades fit into the Blue Jays' 2020 strategy, what the costs mean, and how they help Toronto reach their desired heights this year.

In the wake of the athlete protests that dominated the sports discussion this past week, A.J. Andrews invites Outsports contributor and The Trans Sporter Room co-host Karleigh Chardonnay Webb onto the program to converse about the various ramifications to come from the strikes, how baseball has fallen behind other sports as a catalyst for social change, and where the sport can go from here.

Taijuan Walker is awesome. Seriously, we are here to praise Taijuan Walker and everything he means to the 2020 Blue Jays. A.J. Andrews discusses how this is exactly the kind of move the team should be making, what their plans should be at the deadline in regards to Andrelton Simmons, Lance Lynn and others.

Earlier this week, seven Locked on MLB podcast hosts came together in the wake of the protests that rocked the sport and had a frank conversation about the topics of race, the power of athletes and the power of sport to affect social change. It is a long conversation, but it's the type of conversation that needs to be had in this day and age. This podcast was initially broadcast on the Locked on Red Sox channel.

Seriously. No more Wilmer Font please. With the Blue Jays in playoff contention for the first time since 2016, naturally trade rumors are going to swirl. A.J. Andrews peers into the fog and links a pair of reports that could result in a megadeal between Toronto and Pittsburgh that goes well beyond sharing a stadium. Also, she discusses Toronto's 9-6 loss to Boston, because she has to. However, there was one bright spot in her eyes, and that spot was Travis Bergen. What can he bring to the table for the rest off the season? Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

This is not the acquisition I was expecting... The Blue Jays have acquired... a lefty first-baseman DH type with power and trouble getting on base... don't they have one of those? A.J. Andrews breaks down why the team paid pennies on the dollar for 2019 All-Star Daniel Vogelbach with Rowdy Tellez sitting right there on their bench. She also discusses why Thomas Pannone was an easy DFA candidate to make room for Travis Bergen on the 40-man roster, and she celebrates a victory over Tampa Bay... or maybe just the fact that they hopefully won't have to see Tropicana Field until next year!

Ah, now this is a mood with the Blue Jays that is far more familiar... A.J. Andrews makes her long-awaited tribute to Anthony Alford, who was DFA'd by the Blue Jays on Thursday. She runs over Alford's MLB tenure with the team and determines how the can't-miss prospect just flat out missed. But there is another reason that Alford ran out of the time with Toronto, and it is a reason that grew more evident in another pair of weekend losses to Tampa Bay. The host vents about this reason.

Seriously, what to we do? I'm still wondering. After battling her computer to get episodes out, A.J. Andrews is finally delivering another Fan Edition of the podcast on the weekend! She goes over the results of the poll asking fans what they think the Blue Jays should do at the deadline, and talks about your thoughts on the matter! She then discuss the report from Steve Adams of MLBTR in regards to the Blue Jays hunt for starting pitching! Plus Brock Holt love!

Y'all, I don't know how to deal with this satisfaction. This has never happened before. The Blue Jays are on a winning streak the likes of which hasn't been seen since before this podcast was born! So what happened between that doubleheader loss to Tampa on Sunday and surviving the Trop on Friday? A.J. Andrews has a couple of ideas, but she can't just say it's because the Orioles and Phillies were really bad anymore. So what is it? She'll try to explain as best she can.

At least there's a win tonight. That will be fun to talk about tomorrow with Connor Newcomb. As the Blue Jays play on behind her, A.J. Andrews can only think about the man and the flow not on the field. She discusses where the Blue Jays go without Bo Bichette and what that actually means for this 2020 season in Buffalo.

Seriously, we can use that lightning in Nova Scotia to break up the stupid humidity. With more than half of the Saturday night game washed away in the thunderstorms in Buffalo, A.J. Andrews didn't have a lot to go off of for this late-night episode, but she found some stuff she did like. She likes not having to face Ryan Yarbrough again, that's for sure. Plus she offers some praise for Charlie Montoyo, who at least seems to be showing some progress when it comes to managing his pitching staff. It's a something!

Shut up! It's still Friday in Vancouver! (You're in Nova Scotia.) Shut up! Yes, Fan Friday is back on it's usual day/night, and the focus today is manager Charlie Montoyo. Some of his decisions have been... questionable, and fans are starting to talk. So what does A.J. Andrews think? Definitely a needs improvement sort of report card. She gets the fans' help, because of course she will. It's Fan Friday after all. Thanks to @HymanHustles, @SiobhanMcClell and @WarrenMacaulay for their assistance!

It's nice to talk about Aaron Loup in a positive manner... The Blue Jays enjoyed their best win of the season on Friday night, and A.J. Andrews is still feeling the good vibes! She wants to talk about how happy she has been watching someone, anyone, step up and put together a string of consistently good games at the plate. Teoscar Hernández has been the catalyst this season, but with Bo Bichette stepping up to another plane of existence, she gushes about how he can finally be one of the elite players in baseball.

Getting Miami mashed is no fun. Or so I've heard... The Blue Jays split a series with the Marlins as they brought MLB baseball to Buffalo for the first time in 105 years. But A.J. Andrews was left with the desire for something more. Maybe it's because the seven-homer night wasn't enough for a victory, but for the host, she felt it was a sign of the continuing problems with this team, the lack of fundamentals and the inability to win without the long ball. It's a worrying trend... Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

Can you feel it, Buffalo? The Blue Jays finally play their home opener for 2020... In the States, in Buffalo. But that's all right! A.J.

It must have been late. A.J. is optimistic about things... The Blue Jays look like they have a tough test when they face the Red Sox nominal ace, Nathan Eovaldi, but A.J. Andrews lays out the reasons why Toronto is actually well positioned to take advantage of the matchup to turn their luck around at the plate. Because they can't stay this bad forever, right? Another Blue Jay looking to change his luck at the plate is Griffin Conine, and the outfield prospect talked with Locked On MLB Prospects host Aram Leighton about the changes he's made to his hitting stance to try and do just that.

Call this the fan edition for the week. It's become very clear where the Blue Jays' strength lies this year, and it's not with the bats. Not yet. No, the Toronto bullpen has bailed this team out time and time again this season, and A.J. Andrews breaks down what is going right for this team and what could stand to be improved. Guess which column Wilmer Font fits into! She also has a few words for Charlie Montoyo and his handling of the bullpen. So far, it's not enough for him to be worried about his job, but it's still not something to be proud of. Thanks to @KarenSoutar1, @biggles14, @skovpeter and @SoarWithPHIL for sharing their thoughts!

The pitching is kinda like the Flames winning, I guess. Good, now do more. With the ire for the Blue Jays batters subsiding, A.J. Andrews discusses the starting pitching performances on offer from Toronto hurlers this past week. While she is disappointed in Matt Shoemaker and Tanner Roark, she understands why they struggled in their starts, while Nate Pearson and Hyun-Jin Ryu get to bask in the rare praise that she offered this evening.

What's the opposite of the Leafs' comeback? That's what this is. The Blue Jays have been absolutely garbage at the plate. A.J. Andrews recaps just how garbage they have been, beginning with the dreadful display over over-anxious swinging at the plate in Atlanta, followed by some hilariously bad baserunning shown during their 2020 return to Fenway Park.

Welcome back, Sniper. A.J. Andrews has some roster moves to go over, and so she will. We discuss what Derek Fisher's IL-stint will mean for his chances of sticking around, what Billy McKinney can do now that he is back in the majors, and what the move of Jacob Waguespack and Santiago Espinal means for their long-term prospects.

I'mma detour for the first little bit and then the title will make sense. A.J. Andrews needs a moment to contemplate whether or not the Blue Jays have to start worrying about the Orioles being good now? Yeah. That's why she needs a minute. After that, the podcast pays tribute to the brief Blue Jays career of Brian Moran, the appropriate demotion of Sam Gaviglio, what Dany Jimenez's return to the organization means if anything, and who will get Gaviglio's 30-man roster spot.

It seems the fans are in a mood. I can relate... The second half of the big Blue Jays Fan Friday return strikes a sombre note as the fans express their doubt that the Blue Jays will get to finish the season. Many are upset that the MLB did not seriously consider a bubble strategy as they did before, and A.J. Andrews has to blame the players for this. Cancelling the season is now on the table, and some fans think it should be done to spare more people getting sick.

Y'all are too kind! That's why we have two episodes for the fans! Blue Jays Fan Friday returns to its usual spot... on a Sunday. A.J. Andrews evaluates the early performance the Blue Jays have put in and singles out Teoscar Hernández for praise on his literally doing everything for Toronto to start the season, and then blame for Vladdy Jr. for killing all those poor worms.

Why can't MLB be competent at something? Anything? A.J. Andrews takes a break from talking about the Blue Jays playing, to talk about why they aren't playing this weekend. Mainly because of the Marlins situation that MLB has botched completely. Also, Joe Kelly got suspended eight games more than any Astros players did for cheating. The MLB keeps on winning.

Drawing a heart on a poster with lipstick right now... Nate Pearson is everything the Blue Jays faithful hoped for, and was everything they needed for one night anyway. A.J. Andrews breaks down how his exhibition start against the Red Sox set up tonight's success against the Nationals, despite a pitcher that will not be named mucking things up, and how the Blue Jays have learned from last year by being better prepared for injuries this time!

If you expected less rage in the second half of the doubleheader, you must be new. Now that she has taken her shots at what the Blue Jays players did on the field, A.J. Andrews turns her attention to the pitching staff. Most of the pitchers did well, and she gives them their due. However, there are three pitchers that earned her ire and in honor of the postponed Tokyo Olympics, she gives out some medals that you don't want to win.

Well... that was something. The Blue Jays' first series is in the books and surprise, surprise, A.J. Andrews has some thoughts. She starts with the performance of the position players, including some excellent chain hitting to lead to some big frames against the Rays. However, some bad tendencies re-emerged and one summer camp decision clearly bit the Blue Jays hard in the Sunday contest. So she rants.

Andrews says her piece about the four Blue Jays who are presumed to have tested positive for the virus, the implications for the team itself, and how the broader scope of testing in MLB is revealing just how many lives are being put at risk to play a sport.

Let us not forget, there is hope. Coming off the high off watching Sniper McKinney and Danny Jansen power her virtual team to victory, A.J. Andrews is in a good mood, so maybe just maybe she can see what Rob Manfred has done to get a 2020 MLB season closer to fruition. She's not giving him much credit. She's basically saying that Manfred's performance in the public has been so bad, it shamed the owners into budging from their bargaining position of "offer the same thing but with different numbers".

In an eye-opening discussion, Ross Jackson (Locked On Saints) Aaron Freeman (Locked on Falcons) Tony Wiggins (Locked On Jaguars) John Hickman (Locked On Texans) Chris Carter (Locked On Steelers) Keith Pompey (Locked On 76ers) Coty Davis (Locked On Texans) and Your Boy Q (Locked On Raiders) come together for a special Locked On Podcast Network Black Lives Matter Roundtable. These eight Locked On hosts share their first-hand experiences as black men in America. When was the first time they clocked racism in their lives? What are the pet peeves they experience as a black man? In the wake of George Floyd's killing, does this movement feel different than those of the past? What needs to happen for this moment in time to have a lasting impact on society and to result in real gains for social justice? And, will these experiences change the next generation? We take a momentary pause in our daily sports talk for this revealing and important special podcast episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Is this what happy feels like? The Blue Jays selected Austin Martin, a player that had no right remaining on the board at #5, in the 2020 MLB Draft and A.J. Andrews is thrilled! She gushes over the 3B/SS/OF from Vanderbilt, what he brings to the team, and what his presence means the Blue Jays can do moving forward.

If you want to know how I feel about the Wizard Lady, go listen to Sunday's episode. Instead we talk about a different villain, the MLB owners. Some of them are already running to the public to cry poor and reclaim the upper hand in public opinion when it comes to their labor battle with the players' union, but A.J. Andrews isn't buying it. She excoriates Tom Ricketts and Bill DeWitt Jr. for deriding baseball as an unprofitable business, and lays out why Ken Kendrick's dream of a salary capped MLB will never happen.

So this is the anniversary podcast, huh? Big celebration here. Not. The world is changing, hopefully for the better. It just sucks how it got here. A.J. Andrews takes this episode to express her thoughts on the ongoing protests against police brutality and systemic racism from across the world, the baseball players doing something about it, and when she was able to see just what so many others have seen. Plus Joanne Rowling is a transphobic bigot, as now most of the world knows. So, A.J. has to talk about that as well. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

OK, this episode is the positive one! Even if it comes with corrections... After rectifying some mistakes in the previous episode, A.J. dives into some fake baseball, where happier times are here following the Blue Jays' five-game win streak! The starting rotation has been a driving force during the run and Andrews highlights their contributions, as well as the new name pushing into the All-Star picture from Toronto. Plus, two hitters have been driving the offense lately; Bo Bichette and... Teoscar Hernández? The right fielder has stepped his effort up over the last 10 games and Andrews notes how vital this is for making the Blue Jays as flexible as they can be.

Slightly more positive? Eh, we tried. With the MLB Draft (or at least the stripped-down version MLB is peddling) now 10 days away, A.J. Andrews goes over the likely options the Blue Jays will have available at the fifth slot in the first round. Dreams of Spencer Torkelson will have to be quashed, but there are some tantalizing prospects available, as she talks about Nick Gonzales, Zac Veen, Emerson Hancock and more!

If you want positivity, that's the next episode. I hope. The owners are scumbags, and the host has plenty of ammunition to back her thoughts up. The treatment of both major and minor-league players this week has shown which side of the labor dispute truly has the best interests of the game at heart, and A.J. Andrews is fed up. She unleashes on the owners, but does take some time out to praise David Price, who she can actually like again now that he's not on the Red Sox.

Good thing there is an off-day tomorrow. Can't lose at off days. The Blue Jays bullpen blew another game and handed a sweep to the Orioles and A.J. Andrews doesn't know what to do about it. She knows the organizational modus operandi has been to build with cheap options but when will the Blue Jays have the young power arms to counter some of the other teams in the league? Maybe a 38-year-old lefty will help. Also, which Blue Jays are in position to make the virtual All-Star Game? One name might surprise you, but the other has a better shot than you would think...

Saturday night is a night for drinking, and it's definitely warranted in light of recent events. The Blue Jays have lost four in a row, three of which came against the Orioles, and A.J. Andrews is in a despondent mood. She vents about the same problems that plagued the team last season. The offense is bad and the bullpen is even worse. The virtual world is just as cruel as the real one. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

Seems like a no-brainer, right? Ken Giles talked to Sportsnet's Hazel Mae and said he wanted to stay in Toronto. While admitting that he has to say that while employed by the Blue Jays, A.J.

Call her Trader A.J. The virtual Blue Jays have made a trade, but does that mean it doesn't teach us somethings about the real-life team? A.J. Andrews discusses how the move to acquire Stephen Piscotty and Matthew Koehler from the Athletics for Derek Fisher, Brandon Drury and Juan Martinez came about. She also talks about what she learned from the trade, particularly about Toronto's need for a bat that can actually hit lefties as part of the RF platoon. Also, she uses a conversation with @ThaGreatOne99 to frame why, among the many reasons, this trade would not happen in real life.

I know. I'm sad too. A.J. Andrews tries to put the disappointing end to Nate Pearson's simulated MLB debut behind her and talks about why she waited until now to bring the Blue Jays' best prospect up from Buffalo. She also discusses why this mirrors some fears about Pearson actually making his first MLB start this season, and she tries to reason with herself the best way to handle the fragile potential ace.

Time to remember the old times! Gotta remember something. A.J. Andrews leads a discussion of the first games of Blue Jays fans as well as herself. She goes back to 2006 when she traveled to Toronto for the first time and took in a Blue Jays-Athletics game that turned out to be explosive in more ways than one!

We have content! It's hypothetical but it's here! A.J. Andrews looks at a pair of trades offered up by the minds at The Score MLB involving the Toronto Blue Jays. One involves Ken Giles moving on from Toronto, and the other involves a perennial MVP candidate making his way up north. Take a guess which one she is more excited to talk about!

These are dark times in the real world. A.J. Andrews begins the first episode of the week with the sombre news of the massacre in her home province, and why it seems to hit so hard. She tries to lighten the mood with some good Blue Jays #OOTP2020 news, but it doesn't work. Especially when she has to deal with MLB again letting cheaters off the hook way too lightly, as the Red Sox get away with an already-fired manager, a now fired video review technician and a mere second-round pick in penalties. She is not happy. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

Technical difficulties can't stop us! After an apology from the editor, A.J. Andrews and Sportsnet 590's Mike Wilner continue their discussion on their respective simulated baseball campaigns! While A.J. is enjoying success with Tanner Roark, Wilner is much more favorable toward Sam Gaviglio, Ken Giles and the bullpen. One thing is certain, Chase Anderson is bad in both worlds. They also discuss throwing money at the bullpen problem by claiming Craig Stammen off waivers, and hope for the people of Buffalo.

He's back y'all! Talking that simball, y'all! Blue Jays play-by-play man and fellow 2020 season simulator Mike Wilner returns to the podcast for the first of a pair of episodes! In the first half, A.J. Andrews and he discuss how Mike got into Dynasty League Baseball when he was younger, the frustration of watching the dice land one number away from a home run, and watching the simulated Blue Jays continue to struggle on offense the same way the real life Blue Jays do!

Today was not the day to be losing 10-2, Blue Jays. In the second half of a doubleheader, A.J. Andrews turns her attention to fake baseball. The Blue Jays' OOTP2020 sim has seen them compile an uneven 9-10 record so far, and the host/manager has some ideas on the culprits. She looks at Bo Bichette's sluggish start to the season and wonders if the sophomore slump is bad enough for a demotion. Cavan Biggio and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. don't escape her laser gaze either. However, the bullpen has been the obvious black sheep, and Andrews is worried that there are reasons for all of it. That Houston Ken Giles has re-emerged. That Rafael Dolis is struggling to adapt back to MLB play. That Anthony Bass just isn't good enough to be a true set-up man. Is there a way for the Blue Jays to fix this? Maybe?

Blink-182 had some sage words to describe the situation this week. Go guess which ones. A.J. Andrews returns with the first of another doubleheader set of episodes! In the first one, she pays tribute to the dearly departed Dámaso García and how much like Tony Fernández, he played a role in helping build the Blue Jays to the point of contention. She also wishes best of luck to the now-retired Steve Pearce and congratulations to Amanda and Kevin Pillar and their new baby boy! The second half sees the Nova Scotian look at MLB's second proposal to resume baseball, which sees the teams split between Arizona and Florida. She actually likes the Blue Jays' new division mates (although the Yankees are still present), but still doesn't think it's a good idea to be planning for baseball in a state that has proven it doesn't know what it's doing with this virus.

I think we all could use some happy, even if it is simulated happy. The Blue Jays enter a seven-game homestand on a three-game win streak and A.J. Andrews couldn't be more excited! Even if it is just in the OOTP 2020 campaign! She discusses an offense that is starting to move away from total reliance on Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and highlights Randal Grichuk and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. as Jays who have stepped up their game recently. Plus, the move to give Rowdy Tellez more at bats; will it pay off? She also discusses a pitching staff that has performed much better in the past few games. Part of it comes from Hyun-Jin Ryu's excellent start, but most of the growth is from the bullpen, and the host talks about how she feels Danny Salazar, Thomas Pannone, Ken Giles and others have stepped up to calm the waters from a starting rotation that is still trying to find it's footing as a whole.

Jonathan Swift could never survive today. People would take him too seriously. A.J.. Andrews begins a doubleheader Thursday by explaining how the podcast schedule is going to shift moving forward, allowing for more flexibility in this uncertain time. She then spends the rest of the episode tearing apart MLB's plan to get baseball underway in May, savaging it for being reckless, putting player lives at risk, and not delivering the product the fans are going to want to see anyway.

Misery does indeed love company. Because she is still feeling the despair of that seventh inning against the Yankees on Thursday, host A.J. Andrews has brought in Jays From the Couch writer Karen Soutar to help her dissect the first week and a half of the 2020 OOTP season! The two ladies discuss Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s MVP status after a blistering start, the outfield being really bad, Chase the Ace, Ryu the not-quite ace, and a bullpen that will literally give you a headache if you stare at it too long, including Ken Giles.

MLB wants to do doubleheaders? OK, we can do doubleheaders. Following a migraine brought about by a bad case of the Blue Jays bullpen (more on that in the second half), A.J. Andrews returns to answer a fans request to discuss the prospect of A.J. Hinch and Jeff Luhnow serving their suspensions without missing a game of baseball, and Justin Turner's proposal to make extra innings a lot more entertaining.

In honor of a false one-hit wonder, RIP Adam Schlesinger. You've got All Kinds of Time now. Will Aaron Sanchez do anything in MLB again? ESPN says no in its latest article, but A.J. Andrews wonders if that is really the case. She breaks down the hard road Aaron has to return to relevancy. She also does something rare on the podcast: she gives credit to a Texas Ranger. Specifically, one of the few she really likes as Shin-Soo Choo's donation to the minor leaguers of the Rangers highlights just how badly that money is needed by those players, and how MLB should be providing it instead of the players. The second half sees her discuss the Blue Jays' 6-4 Wednesday night loss to the Reds to close out that three-game series. She questions the decision to bring Ken Giles out for a second-straight game despite a shaky performance on March 31, and how the Blue Jays need options besides the Iceman. Anthony Bass was not that tonight. She also discusses how the offense can't just rely on Vladimir Guerrero Jr. being hot all the time, and needs to start stepping up with some support.

Even in the virtual realm, the Plakata bombs still sound so sweet. A.J. Andrews wishes all her trans siblings a happy Trans Day of Visibility and talks about how happy she is to be able to celebrate it fully. She notes that MLB has decided to at least pony up some money to pay to its players, but is the $400 per week to minor leaguers enough to live on? Sadly, it probably is compared to what they usually get. She also talks about how Toronto mayor John Tory confirmed that sports would be allowed while public events would not until June 30, and how that makes her feel. On the virtual diamond, the Cincinnati Reds are in town and the Blue Jays have split the first two games thanks to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s second multi-homer game of the season. She talks about how important both he and Travis Shaw have been to keeping the Jays offense afloat while many other bats struggle, including leadoff man Bo Bichette. She also discusses Hyun-Jin Ryu's first win as a Jay, Ken Giles' first save, Trent Thornton's acceptable start, and what needs to be done at the bottom of the lineup. Plus, where did that ball that Derek Fisher hit end up? Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

How we all doing? Surviving? That's all we can do. The MLB and MLBPA have a freawork in place for whenever the real 2020 season begins, and A.J. Andrews goes through the details. She knows that the union was praised for what it did get and applauds the full year of service time being applied, but she still thinks the MLB owners are being cheapskates. Quel suprise. In the virtual world, Andrews discusses a much needed start from Chase Anderson in the Blue Jays' series finale against the Red Sox. The ex-Brewer posted seven scoreless innings and took the pressure off a Jays bullpen that needed some help. Andrews gushes about that effort, especially in the face of what he did last season in Milwaukee. She then tees up tonight's series opener against the Reds. Mike Moustakas may not be in the lineup for Cincinnati, but she stresses the importance of attacking the Reds just as the Jays attacked the Red Sox on Sunday night.

I'd feel worse about doing another Sunday edition of what should be Fan Friday, but my body is taking care of that. Welcome to the fan show! This week, A.J. Andrews asked for the fans' top-four influential baseball players and while some were a bit snarky, she concurs with most of the selections before breaking down her own personal top four. Then in the second half, A.J. breaks down the Friday and Saturday OOTP2020 games between the Blue Jays and Red Sox and expresses dismay that wildly different results could occur against the same type of pitcher, and that the Jays' inability to get balls off the ground could get them into trouble this season. But Vladdy and LGJ hit some dingers! Thanks to @KarenSoutar1, @CineMarter_, @EverythingGrich, @BradDWFerguson, @marcussnarcus and @jaymurray78 for sharing their thoughts!

This day could have gone so much better. In so many different ways. A tired and frazzled A.J. Andrews hosts a bitter podcast lamenting on how everyone is missing the real Opening Day, hard as she is tried to make the best of it. She also discusses the trio of players optioned by the Blue Jays and how Thomas Pannone, Jacob Waguespack and Santiago Espinal being Bisons in name at the moment only matters for one thing. In the second half, Andrews discusses the Blue Jays' disappointing 8-2 season-opening loss to the Red Sox. Even before leaving due to injury, Hyun-Jin Ryu did not look like a $20M pitcher, but Andrews finds more fault with a lineup that seems way too willing to carry the trends of 2019 into 2020. Plus, injury updates for Ryu and Canadian Jordan Romano. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

Andrews is joined by the original host of Locked On Blue Jays and the Jays From the Couch editor-in-chief Shaun Doyle to break down the opening day roster for the 2020 OOTP season! Doyle expresses joy at not having to talk about Brandon Drury, and the two break down the 1B position, the outfield, Trent Thornton, the lack of a lefty in the bullpen, potential free agent pitchers signing with the Blue Jays, and Justin Smoak's return to Toronto as a member of the Red Sox!

Mets are gonna Mets, even when there is no baseball. Another major elbow has gone bust in MLB, and A.J. Andrews discusses the implications of Noah Syndergaard's Tommy John surgery on both the 2020 season, as well as the Blue Jays' young 100-mph hurler awaiting his MLB debut. Plus, some happier news in the second half courtesy Bo Bichette and the Pittsburgh Pirates. It's the biggest win the Buccos will have all season.

How we all doing? Good? A.J. Andrews begins the week by discussing the differing opinions that MLB writer Jon Heyman and Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro have on when the baseball season will actually start. The host tends to agree with the person actually working in an MLB front office, and explains her reasons. Plus, an update on a trade that occurred in the simulation 2020 season, and @BlueJayMatt can rest easy. A current Blue Jay was not involved. A former one was though, and we explain how it will impact Toronto anyway. Plus another team wants to trade Toronto a catcher! But what do they want in return?

We have transactions to talk about! Both real and in the virtual game! A.J. Andrews leads off this Fan Friday edition of the pod with the news that Anthony Kay and Sean Reid-Foley have both been optioned by the Blue Jays. This doesn't seem to matter at the moment, but it does protect a year of service time on an MLB roster should the season's opening be delayed for a while, so since neither was making the team, it makes sense. She also talks about MLB's "support" for minor leagues that will only be good until April 8. Small comfort for those who don't know what will happen after that. Then in the second half, we dive into the moves the fans want to make to improve the 2020 Blue Jays!

Where one part of the scale goes up, the other inevitably goes down. Today, A.J. Andrews examines the news that Chris Sale is having Tommy John surgery and the broader notion of how the shutdown is helping other teams get healthy, but mostly the Yankees. A.J. isn't sure getting Rafael Dolis back for the Blue Jays helps, but her thoughts on the injury impact being muted are interesting. She also has an update on the OOTP test run, such as who she signed for the Blue Jays and who departed in her brief time as all-powerful being in charge of Toronto. Yes, someone did want Brandon Drury... and Derek Fisher, plus a favorite of Shaun Doyle's is in the fold. She then outlines her plans for how Blue Jays fans can chime in for some fun in the transaction game! Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

It seems this isn't a good week for the MLB. A.J. Andrews discusses the AP report that MLB is looking to outright cancel the MLB Draft. She outlines why they want to do it ($$$) and how that is cheating the players out of their hard-earned payday, although there may be a slight advantage for the Blue Jays. She also provides an update on how the Out of the Park sim is looking for the Toronto team. There are some positional issues, as well as some promotions that need to be made to the opening day roster, but one Blue Jay in particular should be steaming with his rating. A.J. tells you who.

We are working on some things folks. Until then, let's talk about MLB screwing things up some more! A.J. Andrews doesn't have much to talk about with the Blue Jays, so she turns to Tommy Pham's interview with USA Today's Bob Nightengale and lets the Padres outfielder do much of the talking. Pham didn't hold back on baseball's response to the virus, it's inability to pay players and the need for a new CBA, and the host agrees with a lot of it. Plus, an update on the sims to come to the network courtesy Out of the Park Baseball 21! Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

This is a sad day. Not even kitteh co-host can help ease this one. She tried though. But then she left, and A.J. Andrews is left to discuss the reality of baseball postponing its regular season due to COVID-19. She talks about how this was the right call, and that despite the differences between MLB's reality and other sports, the threats are still there. There was baseball played today, and A.J. does analyze the performances of the Blue Jays in a 7-5 win over the Pirates. No one was perfect, not even Nate Pearson, but one player stood out and the host thinks that he might be able to offer a bit of relief in a position the Jays have had problems with should the need arise.

We are going to be serious for the first little bit folks, so bare with us. A.J. Andrews has to hold off talking about actual sports to discuss whether or not sports will be played in the midst of the growing coronavirus pandemic. She reasons that games will likely go on, but they should be held behind closed doors and that athletes and fans alike should take things seriously unlike that idiot Rudy Gobert. Following that, she turns her attention the Blue Jays' 14-2 desecration of the Orioles in Florida. The host remarks how important it is that guys like Danny Jansen and Randal Grichuk are finding their swings early and that even in a meaningless game, its important to go out and play like the Jays did today with no mercy for their opponents.

Say it ain't so! Well it ain't, so there you go. That was easy. A.J. Andrews is by herself again, and so it falls to her to bid farewell to the 10 souls cut from the Blue Jays major league training camp, including fan and pundit favorite Alejandro Kirk. Andrews reasons why most of them were cut, and takes the opportunity to get some more shots in at Logan Warmoth. She then goes over the last three games the Blue Jays have played in, including Hyun-Jin Ryu looking dazzling, Danny Jansen and Riley Adams breaking plates on the Rays, and back-to-back great outfield plays from Chavez Young and Reggie Pruitt.

Be thankful. The original title pun was much worse. The Blue Jays did not have a great day in Port Charlotte against the Rays, but there were still some bright spots! A.J. Andrews highlights them, such as Jonathan Davis' new baby Kapri, Bo Bichette and Lourdes Gurriel getting hits, and Jacob Waguespack only walking one batter. However, the lowlights were even stronger today, with Travis Shaw, Anthony Alford, Anthony Kay and even Logan Warmoth drawing the host's ire.

This is LOCKED ON BLUE JAYS! boots a garbage can into a pit There are now 300 episodes of Locked on Jays out in the ether. What a scary thought. A.J. Andrews reflects on her past century of shows, and how coming out has allowed her to take the show fully in the direction she wanted, transphobes be damned. She is very thankful for the fans and those who have shown support over the past eight months and allowed her to keep going. This was supposed to be a happy occasion, but then the announcement came down that MLB.tv was no longer allowed to carry Blue Jays games, and our host rips Rogers for a very short-sighted decision. The fans help her as well. Finally some of the best moments of the last two years as remembered by the fans. Yes, there were highlights. No, they weren't easy to find.

Going through the stages of grief here, but someone else is getting the anger. A.J. Andrews begins the podcast by remembering the life of Tony Fernández. She affirms what she said on the Feb. 2 episode and hopes that he is able to keep playing baseball somewhere. Then, the first installment of the League Commish Fantasy Minute brings you some Danny Jansen talk! The second half is dedicated to Rob Manfred, who sounded downright foolish when discussing the Astros scandal and brushing off what it meant in the game. Andrews details just what kind of damage the "Commish" is overlooking and how if unchecked, it will lead to an untenable situation for MLB.

Well, we found something as dumb as Reese McGuire... MLB announced its rule changes for 2020, and A.J. Andrews has problems with them! Shock! After taking a brief moment to shake her darn head at Pee Wee Reese, she outlines how the proposed alterations will not work, specifically the three-batter minimum rule. In fact, Andrews does her part to help managers in the league by telling them exactly how they get around the rule! It's so easy! After a short moment of disbelief where she has to agree with stuff that Trevor Bauer says, Andrews then decides to tear into the other rule changes, that she has less problems with, but she still manages to disagree with one rule change she actually likes!

Sometimes we have to get serious here on the podcast. A.J. Andrews takes the first half of this episode to talk not about baseball, but Heat legend Dwyane Wade's interview on Ellen and how his daughter Zaya came out to him as a girl. The transgender podcaster reflects on how media coverage is important but can be done incorrectly in these matters, what the real meaning of the story is, and the crucial misstep that D-Wade made in discussing his daughter's story on national TV. Since this is a Blue Jays podcast, she also talks about Dave Hudgens' comments to the media about the Astros scandal and the one thing that is unsettling her about the bench coach's remarks.

C'mon. Couldn't not use that line. It writes itself. It's a banner week here on the podcast as A.J. Andrews gets to talk about another one of her favorite subjects: the genitals of Blue Jays players! Specifically Reese McGuire's genitals as the Toronto catcher was arrested for exposing himself in an SUV in Dunedin. Andrews treads lightly, given the lack of information about the situation, and the incredible vagueness of Florida's indecent exposure laws, but she does her best to not go nuts about things. She also compares the situation to Auston Matthews' Arizona moon the previous summer, and whether or not that will dictate any possible suspension for McGuire. Also, the podcast she planned to do, taking about Kevin Pillar signing with the Red Sox and Eric Pardinho's Tommy John surgery, that happens too.

Get in on this Matt Dermody. She follows up with a brief farewell for Breyvic Valera and a sadder wave goodbye to Jarlin Garcia, who was officially claimed by the Giants.

Can you feel it? Fan Friday is back! A.J. Andrews discusses the Blue Jays offseason with the help of the fans! She also determines whether or not new minor-league signings Jake Petricka (welcome back!) and Brian Moran (welcome back, but much less so given he was a Blue Jay for four hours in 2013) have a chance of appearing for the big-league club in 2020. Finally, she goes over the non-roster spring training invitees, headlined by Nate Pearson. Thanks to @Lesley_NOPE, @Fidlstyx, @myleshiggins and @BRC14 for their contributions!

Who is Gil Kim? We got some answers here on the podcast! A.J. Andrews discusses the newest member of the Blue Jays' clubhouse staff and what exactly Gil Kim brings to the table in his current role and new designation. Andrews believes this is a move made to continue the growth seen in the players, and the staff since Kim was hired in 2016. She also discusses an article from Sportsnet's Shi Davidi regarding the similarities between the 2018 Blue Jays and 2020 Red Sox and how financial positioning and roster makeup led to very different decisions from either side on how to handle their star players.

It's getting mysterious on this episode of the podcast! Feels like it should be a Halloween thing... Oh well. A.J. Andrews shouts out her fans and the person who sold her a new iPod before digging into the one sore spot in her mind that the Blue Jays have failed to address with their offseason overhaul. She knows some ways it can be fixed though, internally, through free agency and through other means as well? Why is she being so coy about this episode's ultimate topic? I dunno, boredom, I guess.

Andrews spends the majority of the podcast offering best wishes to Blue Jays Level of Excellence member Tony Fernández and offering a brief retrospective on how much he meant to the growth of Toronto baseball.

She also wonders what the Blue Jays are doing to make room for Rafael Dolis, while reiterating who she feels is in trouble for the 40-man.

It's the host's birthday, but here's a present for you! A podcast episode! Just what you always wanted, right? A.J. Andrews takes time away from her birthday celebration of drinking tea and watching streaming services to talk about what the Blue Jays got her for her special day: a new starting pitcher! Maybe!

Andrews continues her trio of podcasts by looking at some of the rumors surrounding the Blue Jays (thankfully Jake Odorizzi was dismissed pretty early).

Andrews returns to form by delivering a pair of lessons that the Blue Jays can learn from the 2019 World Series champion Nationals.

Of course now that baseball is over and technically the Blue Jays are back in contention for the 2020 World Series, it's time to rise from the dead and bring back the podcast! A.J.

She discusses the importance of Vlad Jr. being in better shape for the future, how the Blue Jays can best invest this increase in spending they are planning for the offseason, and a truly stupid trade proposal and why Blue Jays followers need to stop with this Kawhi/Tavares quick-fix mentality.

Andrews is finally recovered from her year-end softball tournament, where she astounded everyone, including herself, with her first career home run. At any level. It was amazing.

A.J. discusses her thoughts on re-signing Justin Smoak to a one year deal to remain with the Blue Jays, and lays out her case, including the need for a mentor for Rowdy Tellez and the need for a veteran clubhouse presence.

The penultimate Fan Friday of the season! Sadness. A.J. Andrews takes the pulse of the fan base and wonders just how much optimism has been generated by this late run Toronto is on.

A double dose of Blue Jays talk to get you into the weekend starts now! A.J. Andrews reflects on the Ryan Dull era in Toronto, as the reliever is DFA'd to make room for Breyvic Valera. Andrews notes the ramifications this move has for the health of Bo Bichette, which is of the utmost importance for the Blue Jays moving forward. Concussions are no laughing matter. Also, she looks back at a lovely sweep of the Orioles (aside from the Bo-cussion), and how the offense was doing a lot of things right, even if some of the pitchers underperformed.

The second half of Two for Tuesday, starts on a dark tone, but it gets better! I swear! A.J. Andrews faces the joyless task of trying to replace Tim Mayza in the 2020 Blue Jays bullpen following his Tommy John surgery. The well-liked lefty will be missed, but there are some names up to the task. She discusses Thomas Pannone, Travis Bergen, Kirby Snead and Matt Dermody, as the primary candidates for the role. The second half previews the upcoming series with Baltimore and what the Blue Jays can expect from Trent Thornton against the lineup Baltimore is throwing out there.

In the second half, she discusses the great performances, primarily on the pitching side, that gave the Blue Jays that series win. The bullpen and T.J.

Red-eyed already, it's a late night edition of the pod before an early flight! So quality is coming! A.J. Andrews sits bleary eyed ahead of her flight to Toronto and discusses the almost unworldly Trent Thornton outing on Wednesday against the Red Sox. The new curveball grip looked nasty, and Clay Buchholz's off-the-field influence alone may have earned him another contract based on his work with Butters. However, she also has to talk about tonight's game, and the abominable play that was on display. From Buchholz missing his pitches to Billy McKinney's misplays to Derek Fisher in general, it was horrid and the 7-4 scoreline was generous. A.J. vents hard.

The tripleheader is heading into the homestretch! We can smell the pizza from here! A.J. Andrews turns her attention to last night's 4-3 Blue Jays victory over the Red Sox and how Rowdy Tellez is straddling two different paths with the Blue Jays. It seems everyone wants him to follow one path, but can the slugger do it consistently? She also previews tonight's game with Trent Thornton getting a new look at a lineup with Wilmer Font opening, and how Jonathan Davis is being rewarded for consistent play (and putting Anthony Alford's future in doubt!)

The cream of the Oreo cookie that is today's tripleheader is coming at ya! A.J. Andrews continues her marathon levels of Blue Jays talk by holding her nose and discussing Steve Simmons' recent articles attacking the Blue Jays front office, specifially his most recent one disavowing them of credit for Bo Bichette. It smacks of disingenuous tones and while there are things to criticize the front office for, this is not one of them. Also, she discusses how Luke Maile is now out of a job. At least a catching job. That's because Reese McGuire has turned the catching situation into an outright platoon with Danny Jansen. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

Andrews turns her attention forward to tonight's contest between Atlanta and Toronto, with starter Mike Soroka earning a lot of attention. The Calgary native makes his first start in Canada, and given Atlanta's travel as of late, A.J. wonders if he might be overcome with emotion and fatigue. The second half focuses on the elephant in the dome as Josh Donaldson plays his first game in Toronto since leaving via trade last season.

Andrews sifts through the wreckage of that 16-3 Blue Jays destruction at the hands of the Dodgers, and has praise for Bo Bichette (duh) and gives Richard Ureña a "good effort".

Andrews turns her attention to the Blue Jays' pitching during the series with the Rangers and how Tuesday's 3-0 shutout was exactly the formula that the Jays had drawn up. Wilmer Font may be pitching himself into a 2020 role with the club, and Andrews posits how he can help settle the young starters. The host also discusses Brock Stewart's 5 1/3 inning effort in the Friday victory and what that means for the Jays' fifth slot in the rotation. She also expresses displeasure that Zack Godley isn't being given a shot to try and reclaim his starter status, given the rather insignificant difference between starter Godley and reliever Godley.

Thankful for all the support, here comes another episode of the podcast! A.J. Andrews battles threw some struggles off-air to come back and discuss some happy things with Blue Jays fans, like reveling in the 19-4 Bautisting Toronto laid on Texas, and some offensive stars that are beginning to shine when needed. She also talks about the continued arrogance of Rougned Odor, and how it's starting to get sad. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

Bringing the air conditioner on full blast to cool some hot takes, it's another episode! A.J. Andrews comes at you live from her car to start catching up following a rather rough weekend off the field, but a stellar one on the field for the Blue Jays! She starts with yesterday's news that Freddy Galvis had departed via waivers to Cincinnati, and what that really means in the grand scheme of things for Toronto. She also discusses the pitching in the series against the Yankees, particularly a desperately needed outing for Trent Thornton.

Ending the week with a right bang, and some bandages for it, it's another Fan Friday edition of the podcast! A.J. Andrews opens with some look at the Blue Jays in the infirmary, with Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Ryan Borucki's woes headlining the field. Then, she quickly verses into the reaction from Mark Shapiro's conference call on Thursday and whether or not the fans agree with him on being competitive in the near future. The reaction was mixed, but we cover the entire spectrum here on Locked On Blue Jays! Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

Recording while it's still daylight outside? What a novel concept! A.J. Andrews takes advantage of the early recording time to do a preview of the Blue Jays' upcoming series with the Yankees. She focuses on the starters and which one gives the Jays the best chance of stealing a win (hint: it's the guy who was talked about earlier this week!) The second half notes the absence of Trent Thornton from his spot in the rotation, and Andrews offers wild speculation that the Jays may start managing his innings give he recent run of form against teams not from Baltimore. Also, she wonders where Zack Godley will fit in, and assumes that it will be either in Thornton's slot, or the start after against Texas.

Coming at you hotter than cookies right out of the oven, it's another episode! Fresh off showing off her baking skills, A.J. Andrews dives into the happy things that a series win in Tampa Bay brings. She expresses joy at Derek Fisher finally providing a memorable moment other than getting plonked in the face, and praises Brock Stewart while questioning if he's this year's recipient of the Mike Hauschild award. The second half is devoted to newly-acquired hurler Zack Godley and all the puns he brings with him. Andrews is optimistic Godley can at least manifest in that open rotation slot for the Blue Jays, but shows why those banner years in 2017 and 2018 could prove him to be a false deity.

Burning the midnight oil and lighting candles to find Blue Jays' pitching solutions, its another episode! A.J. Andrews stays up late following a grueling bike ride to discuss the Blue Jays' recent run of pitching. While Thomas Pannone, Sean Reid-Foley and Trent Thornton all had their flaws amplified in recent starts, Jacob Waguespack seems to be handling the pressure well, and A.J. assesses his chances of sticking in the rotation next season. The second half sees an apology offered to Derek Law, given his recent run of form. The host also expresses her hopes for Jason Adam to make the most of his opportunity and discusses how Buddy Boshers does not seem long for this Blue Jays' world.

Following a vacation-related hiccup, the podcast is back on the air! A.J. Andrews returns from a kitteh-crazed weekend that did not help her sleep cycle in the slightest. What does help? Watching Bo Bichette at the plate. The host continues to gush about the rookie's hitting and notes that it offers forgiveness for the defense that Bo doesn't offer himself. The second half is dedicated to Justin Smoak and his yeoman efforts on defense for the Blue Jays. Andrews hypothesizes that it's the reason why the FO was loathe to move Smoak for a fringe prospect at the deadline, and wonders if it could lead to an extension for one of the few remaining playoff links on the team.

No Fan Friday this week, but another treat for podcast listeners! Jays From the Couch writer Stephen Brown makes a triumphant return to the podcast to discuss how hot the Blue Jays' bats have been recently, how Derek Fisher fits in with the plans, and an appeal to bring Matt Shoemaker back for another season. A.J. Andrews is much more tolerant of Stephen now that she has made some life adjustments. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!

The second of a triple-header and this one promises to be way more positive than the last one! A.J. Andrews discusses the supernova start Bo Bichette has had to his major league career. Yes it's against Kansas City, but the host is effusive in her praise of the young shortstop and his maturity on the field. In the second half, Andrews discusses a splendid series for the pitching staff. All three starters (Thomas Pannone, Sean Reid-Foley, Jacob Waguespack) showed signs of being able to step into the vacated Blue Jays' rotation slots, and the bullpen performed well too! Why can't they play Kansas City all the time? Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

Managing to barely keep the clean rating, it's the first of a podcast triple-header! A.J. Andrews paces herself by grading other aspects of the Blue Jays' trade deadline moves. She gives good reviews to what the team got for Eric Sogard, Daniel Hudson and David Phelps, while she has to adjust her mark on the Marcus Stroman deal given news that Minnesota wanted a chance to top the Mets' offer. However, there is no mercy on Toronto's final move of the day, a three-player package to Houston that netted them Derek Fisher. The host is relentless in blasting the front office for poor asset management and sheer impatience to move assets that were clearly distressed. Basically, she is not happy.

A real treat for listeners of the podcast (and the host) as Sportsnet radio personality and jack-of-all-trades Scott MacArthur joins the program in a supersized episode! Host A.J. Andrews talks with Scott about their shared experiences since both embraced their own natures and shared with the world their true selves. Then, the debates start. The two discuss what the Blue Jays plans are now that Marcus Stroman has been sent packing and whether or not the package received will bear the fruit that the fans will demand. The second half sees the two discuss what Stroman's legacy ultimately will be as a Blue Jay, the alchemy of turning Eric Sogard into tangible assets, and how Bo Bichette will fare now that he is in the big leagues.

A long-awaited episode finally hits the airwaves. A.J. Andrews makes good on her promise by finally delivering the fans' thoughts on the retirement of Troy Tulowitzki and relays how thankful she is that Tulo helped bring her to where she is today. She also discusses the Rays series and the implication of both the seven-run comeback and the seven-run collapse by the Blue Jays.

Such a busy day, we had to give the people what they want late on a weekend! It's a jampacked podcast! A.J. Andrews shares with the listeners her travels through the grieving process as news of the Eric Sogard and Marcus Stroman trades hit the wire. Suffice today, the grieving was more for Stroman. She managed to go through all five stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression before finally reaching acceptance once she dove into the prospects that the Blue Jays received (and how angry Mets fans were). Also, the news of Bo Bichette's call-up is touched upon. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

An entirely positive episode of the podcast! What a novel concept! A.J. Andrews discusses the joys of seeing an effective Aaron Sanchez work last night against Cleveland. The right-hander looked like his former self and the host sees the benefits of what having his curveball working again can do for the embattered Blue Jay. In the second half, Andrews talks about a lesser-maligned member of the team who had a big night last night. Justin Smoak's tying and winning hits were a big boost to the flagging veteran and A.J. hopes that Smoak can carry this with the team for the rest of the season, since she doesn't see the big first baseman moved at the deadline.

Rolling with the thunder and riding the lightning, it's time to kick off the week with a new set of podcasts! A.J. Andrews begins with a question from @TheRealTayls17, who wonders who will go to make room for the returning Ryan Borucki and Dalton Pompey. The host does her best to answer this question, and suffice to say it doesn't look good for Derek Law. The second half sees A.J. discuss all the positives that came from beating up on a team that's worse than Toronto! From the performances of Eric Sogard and Freddy Galvis, to Marcus Stroman's seven shutout innings, to the Vladdy Slam, there was a lot to like there. Finally, A.J. talks about Sportsnet's Scott MacArthur and his video from the weekend where he comes out as a gay man. A.J. discusses her role in helping Scott reach that point, and the hopes that others will not have to section themselves off as they did in this industry. Warning: she cries.

Sharing that brotherly love with all the siblings out there, it's another Fan Friday episode of the podcast! A.J. Andrews spends the first part of the episode dissecting the latest landing spot for Marcus Stroman: Philadelphia. At first she is not convinced the Phillies have the goods, but Tyler, a Phillies fan from Twitter, helps her piece together a package that could work. Then the podcast takes time to remember Roy Halladay on the even of his Hall of Fame induction. Blue Jays fans and opposing fans share their memories of Doc, and A.J. shares her own. Finally, the Blue Jays' upcoming series with the Tigers is given all the attention it deserves.

Completing the late-night doubleheader, it's the second episode of the day! Technically yes, this is accurate! Fans are starting to worry about Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and A.J. Andrews is here to help assuage some fears... or inflame them. She discusses how Junior hasn't had anything to hit solidly and while he is still finding singles, that's not what the fans want out of him. A.J. tries to assure people that this doesn't mark him as a bust. Not after three months. Even Travis Snider got more time than that! She also talks about how the Blue Jays are trapped in the DFA'd pitcher hell of churning players that aren't good enough for other teams, and how that is the hallmark of bad teams. Toronto will have the parts to break the wheel at some time, but for now, it is a tough ride. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!

With certain members of the podcast on the mend, it's time to complete that doubleheader! A.J. Andrews begins with a discussion of Bo Bichette's interview with Sportsnet's David Singh, and the perception that this delay will anger the shortstop enough to leave as soon as he can. This is silly, and A.J. explains why, as well as assures Bo that his time is coming. A spot just needs to open. The second half is focused on Thomas Pannone's journey to get back to the major leagues, but while the shine is already off his performance, A.J. is more incredulous that Nick Kingham was DFA'd in order to make room for Pannone. With other more palatable options to send packing (Hi Derek Law!), the host expresses her displeasure at the overthrow of the Sultan of Salami.

Switching gears like an F1 pro, it's the first of two podcasts today! A.J. Andrews begins by paying tribute to Edwin Jackson, the most recent DFA casualty of the Blue Jays before being rudely interrupted by a breaking trade! Toronto acquired Wilmer Font for cash!

10-4 game got you down? Check out this podcast, good buddy! A.J. Andrews ignores the current mess the Blue Jays find themselves in and focuses on the demotion of Rowdy Tellez. This continues a trend for the young Toronto batters and our host hopes Rowdy will use this time to cut down on the strikeouts. She also discusses Clayton Richard's injury and what this will do to an already strained Jays bullpen, although she praises Nick Kingham for his work since arriving from Pittsburgh.

Wrapping things up in style with the finale of a triple header on the podcast! A.J. Andrews goes through your selections for MVP and LVP, and honestly, she doesn't have a lot of arguments to make with the choices. She does have some arguments saved up for Aaron Sanchez, who she pleads to make a good start in the opener against the Yankees.

The show rolls on with the cream in this Oreo of podcasts today! A.J. Andrews discusses her selections for the top-three pitchers in the Blue Jays' 2019 first half. There were some tougher choices to make and sadly, Luke Maile was not one of the three chosen for awards. Also, we name Toronto's LVP of the first half, and much like with the batters, it is a name that will live in infamy among the Toronto faithful!

An episode on a Monday? How did this happen? Relax and enjoy this episode of the podcast! A.J. Andrews battles through sunburn to recap her thoughts from the Blue Jays' Saturday and Sunday games. She notices how the Blue Jays fell back into some bad habits against the Orioles, but righted themselves against an old friend on Sunday. The second half is devoted to the rotation. Be it Clayton Richard's rough fourth inning, Trent Thornton's vital bounce-back start or discussing the trade packages floated for Marcus Stroman, we talk about it all here on today's episode!

Better late than never, it's a Fan... Sunday edition of the podcast! A.J. Andrews takes time from her weekend of piercings and kayaking to moan about a couple things, as aided by the fans! She discusses MLB's and Alex Cora's decision to not bring Ken Giles to the All-Star Game in favor of the likes of Liam Hendriks and Masahiro Tanaka and how it doesn't make sense. Even Tanaka agreed! In the second half, she discusses another disappointing start for Aaron Sanchez and how the Blue Jays missed a trick by not optioning him on Saturday. At the very least, he isn't a lock for the Blue Jays rotation anymore, with the emergence of other options.

Trading those pineapples in for glasses, it's another podcast episode! A.J. Andrews begins the late-night recording by talking about the remarkable run that Danny Jansen is on for the Blue Jays. The catcher had been swinging better last month and it seems to be coming together now to the delight of fans everywhere. Andrews also mentions Brandon Drury, but less so. The second half was supposed to be devoted to the performances that Jacob Waguespack and Thomas Pannone put in as bulk pitchers in the past two games, and while Andrews does praise them for battling as they did, her dark side gets the best of her, and she discusses Aaron Sanchez still having an option left according to Ken Rosenthal and whether or not the Blue Jays should use it.

We tipped our hand earlier today, but here is the second episode of our doubleheader! A.J. Andrews discusses last night's 10-6 Blue Jays loss to the Red Sox and how Trent Thornton was tipping his pitches to Red Sox batters. Andrews wonders if Thornton couldn't use the All-Star break to recalibrate his windup, or maybe if he should be doing so in Buffalo. She also discusses the turnaround that Sean Reid-Foley has made in recent outings, and how his trends could point to a rotation spot for the rest of the season.

Finally recovered from an overdose of maple pie, the podcast returns! A.J. Andrews tries her best to condense all the good things from the Kansas City series into one episode and she does her best to give out all the kudos, save for one person who she is sick of talking about and everyone else is already talking about, so he can be ignored. The offense is praised for showing some positive tendencies when it comes to taking advantage of bad teams, and the gamut is run when it comes to pitchers, with Marcus Stroman, Nick Kingham and Clayton Richard all on the discussion docket.

Get ready for that sweet, sweet long weekend with a Fan Friday edition of the podcast! A.J. Andrews begins by previewing the Blue Jays' upcoming series against the Royals. She likes their chances to earn a split and she details the plan of attack for halting a three-year Canada Day slide. The second half sees her discussing who the Blue Jays' All-Stars will be, as prompted by a poll from @BluejaysAlways earlier this week. Marcus Stroman and Ken Giles are the obvious choices, but the host stumps for the everyman candidate, Eric Sogard and why he should be considered for a spot.

Told you it would happen! A double dose of Blue Jays talk is coming at you today! And it's supersized! A.J. Andrews begins by discussing the Toronto Sun's Rob Longley's report on the attendance problems facing the Blue Jays this season. While not as dire as it looks, Andrews offers solutions based on her own experience and what Rogers can do to make sure the cash continues to flow. The second half begins with the help of @KarenSoutar1, who listed nine Blue Jays and asked how many would remain when the team contends again. Signs are good for most, but there is a direct clash on the horizon between two members of Karen's list. Finally, A.J. blasts one of the top trending articles in Blue Jays land, an attempt to construct the 2020 Toronto roster that makes absolutely no sense. Tim Mayza is traded. Brett Cecil, Corey Dickerson, Collin McHugh and Shelby Miller are all added. Spelling errors abound. It is mind-boggling. She read it so you don't have to.

Third times a charm getting this doubleheader in, so here we go! A.J. Andrews starts by continuing her thoughts on the Blue Jays' series with the Yankees and how that sweep felt different from losses to the Twins and Padres and Diamondbacks and Rockies and Rays earlier in the year. There is hope now! Even still after blowing a 5-0 lead! Still hope! The second half sees the host discussing Marcus Stroman's comments to the media and how some outlets are twisting them to make people believe he WANTS out as opposed to what he was saying. Andrews notices troubling parallels that she does not want to really talk about. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!

Coming in quick like a Clayton Richard pickoff, it's attempt number two at a doubleheader! A.J. Andrews uses her first episode of the day to discuss the positive things that could be taken away from the Blue Jays' first two games of the series against the Yankees.

Fully recovered from being a cyborg for all of five minutes, we kick off a doubleheader on the podcast! A.J. Andrews uses the first half to focus on the weekend baseball the Blue Jays played in Boston. It's hard not to praise the team for a pair of wins, and the host sees no reason not to, as she gushes about the maturity levels shown by the team in its comeback win against the Red Sox bullpen, the continued progress of Lourdes Gurriel Jr and Rowdy Tellez, and another great performance by Marcus Stroman.

A jam packed second half of the doubleheader, just in time for tonight's game! OK, slightly late, but still! Commercial listening! A.J. Andrews opens with discussion of Vlad Jr. in the Home Run Derby. She is all for it, as long as he is healthy enough to do so. Then she turns her attention to the Blue Jays' series against the Red Sox. A.J. feels for Trent Thornton, having to go up against Chris Sale tonight, but thinks the Jays could surprise the Sox in Fenway yet again. The second half is devoted to today's fan question, where A.J. shows her non-existent skills at oddsmaking. A lot of familiar faces are set to go out the door, and the host talks about everyone mentioned, including a couple of surprises, as well as what the Jays can do if Ken Giles departs.

Here comes the rain again, raining down on one parade in particular in this episode! A.J. Andrews outlines the frustration with Aaron Sanchez that she is sure is not confined to her own thoughts. Sanchez is not the 2016 pitcher, and it's time the Blue Jays stopped treating him as such. Andrews thinks that Sanchez could be headed for the bullpen in the near future and she spent way too much time talking about him today. The host also discusses a couple more options for a starting spot with the Blue Jays since they need someone to do it. She goes into details on Jacob Waguespack and Julian Merryweather, the latter of whom will be making a rehab start on Monday. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!

Put those brooms away! It's time for another episode! A.J. Andrews celebrates a sweep-avoiding win over the Angels. Praise goes up and down the lineup focusing on Billy "Sniper" McKinney announcing his return in a big way, Lourdes "Pineapple Power" Gurriel Jr. continuing to rake, and continued appreciation for everything that Eric "NerdPower" Sogard does. However, the second half discusses Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and his struggles following the plunking by Gerrit Cole last Friday. Andrews thinks that the Blue Jays are being irresponsible by not letting Guerrero sit and heal, and she thinks that even if the attendance drops in his absence, it's something that needs to be done for the future of the club.

The more things change, the more they stay the same on a new episode of the podcast! Host A.J. Andrews begins by offering her sincere thanks to all the fans and Blue Jays dignitaries and everyone who offered their support following the Episode 200 announcement. Seriously, it means a lot. There were tears. But there is work to be done, and A.J. launches into another rant about Marcus Stroman's treatment by the front office. This has been a difficult season, but the host sees no reason that he shouldn't have been signed to an extension already, and the trade rumors are silly. The second half sees A.J. take her best shot at trying to predict what the Jays will do now that Edwin Jackson is on the IL instead of throwing batting practice. Who else are they going to get? Her guess is that a combo of Sam Gaviglio and Nick Kingham will be asked to do the job. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!

No jokes, this is serious. So, the 200th episode Locked On Blue Jays marks the last time I will broadcast under the name Ryan Andrews, because I'm no longer Ryan Andrews. My name is A.J. I'm a woman. It's taken a long time to get to this point, but I'm finally comfortable with sharing that info with y'all. This is not the end, it is the beginning of a new era, one that I hope y'all will stick around for, in spite of the Blue Jays being the Blue Jays this season. This episode was made possible by my partner, my family, my friends, Jays From the Couch, Locked On Podcasts, and a few special people on baseball Twitter. Y'all know who you are.

It's parade day, and we are leading the charge on your Blue Jays coverage! Ryan Andrews starts with the negatives from the Blue Jays' series against the Astros, covering most of what was a disappointing outing for the pitching staff on Friday and Saturday. They focus squarely on Aaron Sanchez and discuss the questions of whether or not he should be removed from the rotation, or what is value is anymore. The dreaded Ricky Romero comparison is made. The second half is much happier, as Andrews praises the team for breaking out all over Cionel Perez in the finale. They shower Trent Thornton with adoration following his stellar start against his former team, and cement his strong chances to clinch a role as a permanent 3-4 starter for this team. Extra praise goes to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Jordan Romano. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

Still can't get over the fact that Toronto has a title again? Neither can the host of this podcast! Ryan Andrews starts with the teeing up of the Blue Jays' road series against the Astros, a special homecoming for Cavan Biggio and for Trent Thornton as well. Aaron Sanchez is singled out yet again, and urged to go out and prove a point about his value. The second half is devoted to the fan question of who the Blue Jays could acquire that would have a Kawhi-like effect on the team. No surprise who the winner was, but how about the top-two choices both being Angels? Andrews breaks down the trends the fan choices revealed and who they would choose to come to Toronto.

It may be the Raptors night, but there is still Blue Jays news to talk about! Oh, who we kidding, it's the Raptors night! Host Ryan Andrews waxes poetic about the Raptors title and what it meant to the wee one who adopted a Raptors handle when they entered the online world. Then they dive into some Jays transactions, with Elvis Luciano hitting the IL, Justin Shafer returning and the acquisition of ex-Pirates hurler Nick Kingham. The second half looks at what the Blue Jays did while the Raptors won the crown, dominating the Orioles for a 12-3 win. Andrews stresses the importance of getting production from the bottom third of the order, and what Cavan Biggio and Danny Jansen offer for the future.

It just keeps rolling along! It's another episode of the podcast! Ryan Andrews gets off their bike to discuss the bad news to start the day for the Blue Jays. Ken Giles is on the IL, and the impacts will be felt on and off the field. However, the silver lining is a debut for Canadian Jordan Romano, so that's something good! The good vibes continue with the discussion of the Blue Jays 8-6 win over Baltimore. Edwin Jackson got a victory! Rowdy Tellez got a grand slam! The bullpen... didn't completely blow the game in the eighth inning! The host goes over the highlights from a rare triumph. Thanks to @DTSB_98 and @Schwabey for their contributions to tonight's show!

By Thor's hammer, there is going to be some positive talk about the Blue Jays around here, and we at Locked On will make sure of it! Host Ryan Andrews manages to fulfill said requirements by focusing on anything but the major league team. They discuss how quickly the Blue Jays were able to secure their draft signings and how important it was to get someone like Kendall Williams to commit. It bodes well. Andrews also comes with news of Bo Bichette tearing up the Florida State League again, and just how likely fans will get to see him in Toronto at some point this season!

Sore and disappointed following that Kyle Lowry final shot, it's a fresh edition of the podcast! Ryan Andrews, tired, hurting, and ultimately saddened that Game 5 ended that way, comes to y'all late to discuss a couple talking points that a fan of the show brought forward. They discuss the issues with Aaron Sanchez and what he needs to do to avoid looking like a journeyman, followed by a discussion on whether or not Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro should feel secure in their jobs with attendance issues this season.

Ready for the weekend, it's another Fan Friday edition of the podcast! Ryan Andrews heeds the call from the fan base and discusses what the Blue Jays can do with that fifth rotation slot given Edwin Jackson's ineffectiveness. The answer? Not much. Andrews breaks down the options in the minors and the options in free agency with the help of the listeners. They then discuss the Arizona series and how important it would be for the Blue Jays to take advantage of the Marcus Stroman/Merrill Kelly matchup tonight. Andrews also suggests trying to keep the D-backs speedsters off the bases. Thanks to @callmechris316, @Brown01Violet, @KarenSoutar1 and @Jabronirob for their comments!

Looking to the past while trying to reach the future as quickly as possible, it's time for another episode of the podcast! Ryan Andrews closes the book on the 2019 MLB Draft with notes of how Alek Manoah is fitting into Toronto society, what MLB.com thought of the Blue Jays' draft, and some late-round pick discussion, highlighted by Braden Halladay's 32nd-round selection in honor of his dad. Attention then turns to tonight's finale against the Yankees, with the return of J.A. Happ first and foremost. Andrews talks about what the Blue Jays need to do to assure a sweep, and cautions Edwin Jackson that not even managing an impression of an MLB pitcher will get him shown out the door in a hurry.

This might have to be a trend the way the Blue Jays are playing. It's another late-night podcast! Ryan Andrews leans into discussion of Toronto's 11-7 win over New York with talk of Teoscar Hernández as the outfielder returned to the big league club earlier today and wasted no time showing off the other tools that will keep him in the major leagues this time. The second half is devoted to the rest of the offense, from Randal Grichuk to Vlad Jr. and discussing how this is the kind of win that championship teams have, and how getting it now will bode well for the Baby Jays in the future.

More consistent than Angel Hernandez's strike zone, it's another episode of the pod! Ryan Andrews drinks in the warm fuzzy feelings of a rare Blue Jays win, especially since it came over the Yankees. Andrews discusses another heroic effort by the stallions of the bullpen, and a big inning that Toronto batters need to learn to make a regular thing. The second half is devoted to the Blue Jays' second to 10th round selections in the MLB Draft. Andrews is excited that Kendall Williams has been convinced to join the organization, and details what the team gets in each of the eight batters selected after that, from Dasan Brown to Cameron Eden to Glenn Santiago.

After a much-deserved vacation featuring a lot of driving, Locked On Blue Jays is back on the field! Ryan Andrews returns in time to discuss the Blue Jays' latest first-round pick, West Virginia ace Alek Manoah! They express excitement that the Jays selected a power arm that can potentially start, as well as what Manoah needs to do to reach the majors. The second half talks about Marcus Stroman's latest comments that the media have taken an run with, and the host discusses their displeasure, especially with this latest unnecessary blowup.

Winding down the Red Sox series with another episode of the podcast! Ryan Andrews grades Clayton Richard's Blue Jays debut and is encouraged by what they saw. They also discuss Sam Gaviglio being too familiar with the Red Sox to succeed and the inability to do anything against Ryan Weber.

On a quick turnaround, it's another podcast episode! Ryan Andrews discusses yesterday's roster move that saw Ryan Tepera head to the IL for the second time this season. Andrews previously said it looked like something was off, and the bone spur news confirms it. They also offer thoughts on what Jimmy Cordero needs to do to seize this opportunity.

It's late night, but we're feeling all right after a Blue Jays win on the podcast!

The host talks about how the dynamic shifts with him in the lineup, and they give special mention to Brandon Drury as well. The second half discusses Marcus Stroman's somewhat wild evening, but praises him for sticking to what makes him successful. They close with some bullpen talk, and the promise of more to come tomorrow. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!

Back in the week leading up to Interview Week, it's another edition of the podcast! Host Ryan Andrews sums up the past four Blue Jays games and their takeaways, including why Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was sitting for today's contest, how the fill-in starters have been bombed, why Elvis Luciano is so important for the Blue Jays and whether or not Ryan Tepera's time with the team is coming to a close. Plus, Kitteh Co-Host chimes in with a heartfelt tribute to Javy Guerra, who was claimed on waivers by Washington earlier today.

The host is struggling, but they will make it through the end of the week on the Locked on Blue Jays podcast! Ryan Andrews is battling a sore throat, but they get their thoughts out on last night's disappointing loss to the White Sox. Andrews discusses why Derek Law was summoned in the eighth inning of a tie game, Marcus Stroman debuting a new pitch, and what can be done about those Blue Jays bats. The second half features a couple conversations about which young Blue Jay is mostly likely to turn their season around, with Danny Jansen a clear favorite. There is also a discussion on blaming Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins for what has led the Blue Jays to the bottom third of the standings.

Fresh from gazing into the future, kind of, it's a somewhat fresh episode of the podcast! Host Ryan Andrews discusses a couple of Blue Jays who have been struggling of late, wondering how much tread Ryan Tepera has left on his tires and just how much a trip to Buffalo could help the struggling Teoscar Hernandez (Note: This was recorded before Teoscar was optioned today.)

Can you feel it? It's like a cloud has been lifted over the Blue Jays and the podcast! Vladimir Guerrero Jr. announced his presence with authority in the wee hours last night, and host Ryan Andrews watched it all! On the suggestions of a pair of listeners, they discuss how happy they were to see Vladito finally connect on his first home run, on Trent Thornton becoming the Blue Jays leading batter, and retracting their earlier statements about Ken Giles. The bullpen gets some love in the second half, from Tim Mayza to Giles to Daniel Hudson, the unsung heroes of this team get their due.

Attempts to be positive are a bit more successful today on the podcast! Ryan Andrews discusses a point that came up on the Jays From the Couch pod regarding a potential trade of Ken Giles and why it both does and doesn't make sense for the Blue Jays to do.

A beacon of positive energy, at least while the Bubli is still here, it's another week of the podcast! Host Ryan Andrews does their best to highlight what they liked from the Blue Jays' series against the White Sox, starting with the mostly good in Aaron Sanchez's outing... aside from that one inning. They also discuss the progression Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has made hitting in the two-spot, and the hope that follows. However, much like Marcus Stroman on Saturday, the slacking offense is just too much. There is no positive energy to be had as a whole and Andrews agrees with Stroman on just how the situation has gotten, and how the Blue Jays not letting him finish as many innings as he can is not conducive to anything good this season.

What I put here doesn't matter! Socrates Brito is gone!!! Yes, Blue Jays Fan Friday on the podcast begins with the news that the Blue Jays have made a flurry of moves, key among them being that Socrates Brito is off the team. Ryan Andrews discusses what bringing Jonathan Davis and Javy Guerra on board add to the team, and how they will cope with Clay Buchholz joining a rotation's worth of players on the IL. Also, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s move up to second in the order gets discussed as well. In the second half, the fans chime in with what they would want to see to improve the experience of watching a Blue Jays home game this season.

Almost to the end of the week, and this podcast will help get you there! Ryan Andrews is dismayed at the complete lack of effort put for by the Blue Jays against the Twins and expresses their exasperation at what happened in the Minnesota series. Charlie Montoyo's comments are echoed, but enough talk. The host wants to see some results on the field. The second half discusses the demotion of Thomas Pannone and who could take that spot on the Blue Jays 25-man roster. Andrews teases names like Ben Revere and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. before settling on a fifth starter who might actually be able to throw six innings a night for the Jays. And that is all they need.

This is not a happy podcast, for many reasons, but it's a podcast that needs to be. Host Ryan Andrews spends the first half discussing another anemic performance at the plate from the Blue Jays, but does give praise to Aaron Sanchez for a solid start. The second half is spent discussing Addison Russell's return to MLB and how everyone involved has been disgusting, from Russell, to the Cubs front office to a certain subsection of Cubs fans. It's very disheartening. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18! Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!

These are times that try the souls of Blue Jays fans, but they do not keep the podcast away! Ryan Andrews realizes that things could get worse after an anemic Blue Jays performance against the Twins on Monday night. They call out the offense, they call out the defense, they call out Marcus Stroman, the only facet of the team spared is the bullpen. It is not pretty. Then, they focus on a Jonas Birenbaum tweet suggesting Jonathan Davis deserves MLB playing time. The host agrees and with the help of JftC writer Roy Widrig, explains just what the outfielder can bring to the team instead of Socrates Brito (Hint. It's a lot).

Back to chase away the Monday blues, it's another great podcast episode! Ryan Andrews does their best to get through a discussion on the Texas series without devolving into another rant, but fails when talking about Starter Thomas Pannone as opposed to Reliever Thomas Pannone. The starting pitching takes its lumps in this one. Then the host previews tonight's game against Minnesota, with Marcus Stroman aiming to bounce back. Andrews warns of Martin Perez and his new cutter, and expresses hope that the Blue Jays learned enough from their first bout to establish a strong start to this homestand.

Like the oasis in the desert, Blue Jays Fan Friday is here after a pretty dismal week! Host Ryan Andrews discusses the notion that like Bryce Harper, the tide is already turning on Vlad Jr. and some people want him back in Buffalo. This is silly, and the fans help reason why. Also, the entire hellspawn of the Angels series is discussed, including Aaron Sanchez's comments. Andrews also offers their thoughts on who should be brought up to immediately replace Alen Hanson.

Keep awake now! There's another episode of the pod on the horizon! Ryan Andrews does their best to keep an even keel as they discuss what the heck happened in last night's Blue Jays contest. More mistakes than the host on a ballet category on Jeopardy! But there was some good, and they find it. Before that though, Vlad Jr. isn't playing tonight! Sounds the alarms! Andrews explains why Vlad Jr. getting the night off is not only normal, it could be what he needs, before they plead with Aaron Sanchez to not walk four batters in a game this time.

We are coming in hot today on the podcast! The late night fires are stoked! Ryan Andrews goes off on the recent Ken Rosenthal report that the Blue Jays are looking to trade Justin Smoak, Aaron Sanchez and Marcus Stroman. The host tears a strip off the front office for even thinking about trading all three of them, when really only two of the three should be put on the market. The second half deals with last night's loss in Anaheim, and how it was actually a good baseball loss for the team. It does, however, highlight the need for the Blue Jays pitchers to get healthy quickly. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!

Following up last night's show, we continue to bask in the Blue Jays' glorious sweep of Oakland on the podcast! Ryan Andrews discusses their thoughts on the pitching Toronto got in its series against Oakland, with a cheer for Marcus Stroman, a boo for Aaron Sanchez, and a meh for Trent Thornton. The second half sees them preview the Angels series that starts later tonight, starting with Griffin Canning, who makes his MLB debut for the Angels. So, you know, trouble for the Blue Jays.

Metaphors aside, Andrews discusses what the win does for both players. The host also discusses what lessons the Toronto Blue Jays can take from the Boston Red Sox.

An early Monday edition of Locked on Jays? Has the world gone mad? Not so! Ryan Andrews begins with a sane dissection of the plans for the Blue Jays this off-season, using the roadmap that Roy Widrig of Jaysfromthecouch.com has laid out for the club in the offseason. The news isn't great for some Jays players, but the philosophy of the latter half of the 2018 season plays a big role in the 2019 direction for Roy. The second segment sees Andrews discuss an MLBTR.com piece from Mark Polishuk where Justin Smoak is on the trade docket. The host runs down the candidates before landing on a target that they wrote about two years ago for Smoak. The circumstances may have changed but Andrews believe they have been right all along. Speaking of right all along, Andrews closes by basking in the glory of their correct World Series prediction, and takes a stab at determining who wins between Los Angeles and Boston.

Today, the podcast is following the money and it results in some tough calls for the Blue Jays! Ryan Andrews opens with a recap of the first round of the MLB playoffs and gives their picks for who advances between Boston-Houston and Milwaukee-Los Angeles.

Ryan Andrews begins with a look at the underlying stats of newest Blue Jay Julian Merryweather, with the help of Jeff Quattrociocchi of JaysfromtheCouch.com.

Andrews laments the loss of Seunghwan Oh from the postseason, but cheers the brilliant run from former Jay Erik Kratz, who has a .625 average for Milwaukee.

The podcast is back follow a brief period of mourning and is ready to tear into the Blue Jays offseason! Ryan Andrews returns from a brief respite to discuss the Blue Jays topics of the week, starting with Russell Martin's performance as manager of the club during Sunday's 9-4 loss to Tampa Bay. Andrews also discusses Kevin Pillar's night as a lead-off man, Jon Berti's above-average acquittal during his four-game stint and how appropriate it was that Sam Gaviglio started the season finale. The second segment is devoted to the plethora of names that have been linked to John Gibbons' vacated managerial position. With Ken Rosenthal and Shi Davidi unleashing a torrent of candidates, from Stubby Clapp and Sandy Alomar Jr. to Rocco Baldelli and Chris Woodward, Andrews combs through the connections and reiterates their preference on candidates. The final segment is dedicated to the MLB playoffs.

A jam-packed Fan Friday edition comes at all the good Blue Jays fans! Host Ryan Andrews with an interesting proposition from Cameron MacPherson on MLB realignment and how that would shake out. Andrews offers their thoughts on where MLB should be looking to expand, with Montreal a high priority, and how Rob Manfred and the others should take the opportunity to modernize and unify the game. The second segment is dedicated to the first base conundrum facing the Blue Jays next season. While Rowdy Tellez is making a push for an MLB role next year, Justin Smoak and Kendrys Morales stand in his way. Andrews suggests that one of the veterans could be moved, by not in time for Rowdy to start with the club. They also enlist the help of Jays From the Couch writers Shaun Doyle, Roy Widrig and Jeff Q for their opinions on moving Morales. In the final segment, Andrews floats the possibility of the Blue Jays making a move to acquire the beleaguered Sonny Gray in the off-season. The Nova Scotian contacts resident Yankees experts David Brown, Mel Morales and Caillou Borden for their thoughts on what the price tag could be should the Yanks look to move on from the former All-Star.

A wise philosopher once said, "There's no such thing as a bad eulogy" and we deliver on the podcast! Ryan Andrews opens with another bit of appreciation for John Gibbons in his final home game as manager of the Toronto Blue Jays. The host celebrates what turned into "Gibbons Day" and everything that made the Texan as endearing as he was. Jon Berti, Reese McGuire, Randal Grichuk and Billy McKinney also get nods for helping make the day positive at the plate. The pitchers get the spotlight next, with all seven arms getting shoutouts. From Sean Reid-Foley's efficient performance, to Joe Biagini's extra effort, to Ryan Tepera's grittiness and Ken Giles' pure fire against his former club, the pitchers did a great job corralling a weakened Houston lineup. Andrews appreciates the effort. The final segment looks ahead to the Tampa Bay series and the final starts of the season for Thomas Pannone and Ryan Borucki. Andrews thanks the rookies for providing some needed stability to the rotation and talks about how their solidness will help next year when the bats come up to the big leagues.

Ryan Andrews discusses something that fans knew for weeks, but was finally confirmed today, that John Gibbons would not be back as manager of the Blue Jays in 2019.

The second segment is devoted to Jon Berti on the date of his major league debut. Teammates and media members paint the picture of a hard-working farmhand who is finally getting a moment in the sun and Andrews expresses happiness for the veteran minor leaguer. The podcast ends with a couple of topics, including Devon Travis' knee issues and what it means moving forward for him and the Blue Jays, as well as Sean Reid-Foley's final 2018 start and what he will be looking to do to set himself up for 2019 success.

It's a tough episode of Locked on Blue Jays today, and if you're a fan, you'll know exactly why. Host Ryan Andrews starts with some stories from last night's game, including the hamstring issue that banished Lourdes Gurriel from the Battle of the Brothers with his sibling Yuli, and a solid performance from Richard Urena. Andrews also looks ahead and talks about Sean Reid-Foley making his final start of the season against the defending champions. The second segment sees Andrews start to discuss the reaction to Roberto Osuna's re-emergence for a save at Rogers Centre before news breaks that the Crown has dropped the case against him in favor of a one-year peace bond. The host is not happy with this turn of events, predictable as they were, and expresses frustration and anger at the result. They then thank the Blue Jays fans who were in attendance last night booing him, and the fans who shared their thoughts on social media. Andrews ends with a brief acknowledgement of Marco Estrada, who made likely his last start for the Blue Jays. The Nova Scotian discusses Estrada's place in Toronto history and how they will remember the Magician who started as a swingman but became a legend.

A solid series against Tampa Bay gives way to some grappling with a return on today's episode! Ryan Andrews begins by looking at the performances of the Blue Jays' rookie starters during the series against the Rays. Andrews notes the struggles Sean Reid-Foley had in maintaining control of his electric stuff in what will likely be his final start of the season. Contrasting that with Thomas Pannone's steady performance and it becomes clear what the 2019 pecking order is. Andrews also notes that while Pannone had a tough situation mentally on the mound in the third inning, coming through that may serve him well moving forward. The second segment discusses Ryan Borucki's game effort against Blake Snell and details facets where the lefty can improve as he heads into an off-season where he knows he will be an MLB starter. Andrews also shakes their head at Jose Fernandez's series and locks the left in as next year's QEW specialist. In the final segment, Andrews deals with the return of Roberto Osuna and the emotions that are brought up. The host makes it clear that they want no part of any kind of potential sympathy for the former closer, and discusses their Jays From the Couch article where they recommend a hearty chorus of boos be rained upon the domestic abuser.

It took some to recover, but Ryan Andrews is finally ready to talk about what happened last night, with your help! The host tries to wrap their head around what exactly the Blue Jays managed to do in last night's stunning seven-run comeback in the ninth inning against the Rays. Recapping what occurred, Andrews waxes poetic about how innings like that can restore faith in baseball, and praises the youngsters (Dwight Smith Jr., Rowdy Tellez, Jonathan Davis, Danny Jansen and Lourdes Gurriel Jr.) as well as the steely veteran Justin Smoak, who delivered the final blow. Sam Gaviglio is the focus of the second segment. Andrews cites Karen Soutar's assessment of Gaviglio as a future swingman for the Blue Jays and Roy Widrig's article on JaysFromTheCouch.com about the state of the 2019 Blue Jays rotation and where Gaviglio fits in. The bullpen also gets a look, complete with more praise for Tim Mayza and some for David Paulino as well. Andrews closes with a discussion about the news that MLB has placed Addison Russell on administrative leave. The host draws parallels to the Roberto Osuna situation and stresses the need for MLB to start taking its domestic violence problems seriously.

Heading to the homestretch, literally, the Blue Jays are giving the host plenty of things to talk about! Ryan Andrews spends the first segment discussing the performances from the 2-1 Blue Jays loss to the Orioles on Sept. 19. The host gives credit to Marco Estrada for delivering a start that the veteran right-hander needed to restablish some value heading into an off-season where he will be looking for a deal. However, Luis Rivera has earned ire once again for a terrible attempt to convert a Kendrys Morales fourth-inning fly ball into a sac fly. There was no reason for Billy McKinney to run there, and Andrews makes it known how they feel about Rivera's tenure. Then, Andrews discusses Jerry Howarth's assertion that John Schneider would be his pick to manage the Blue Jays in 2019, citing Tampa Bay's Kevin Cash. Andrews agrees with the veteran radio man, particularly Schneider's ability to use the speed on his roster to greater effect than the big-league club. Finally, Andrews previews the series opener against Tampa Bay. The Nova Scotian points out what they think is on the line for Sam Gaviglio and what his role will be for the Blue Jays in 2019. Yes he will have a role. Andrews also expects to see some more bullpen arms getting run, particularly Taylor Guerrieri against his former club.

It was a tough game to watch in parts but this podcast always tries to find the silver lining! Well, almost always. Ryan Andrews picks apart the Blue Jays' fourth-straight win, starting with a disappointing outing for Aaron Sanchez. Andrews laments Sanchez's inability to control his strike zone, but offers a hearty cheer for the work of the bullpen. Praise comes for Jake Petricka, who had his fastball bending like Beckham, Jose Fernandez, who is cementing a 2019 Opening Day roster spot, Tyler Clippard and Blue Jays folk hero Ken Giles. The second segment is dedicated to the disastrous defense that both teams played during the game. Billy McKinney gets some tough love for his efforts, but Andrews tempers it with praise for Lourdes Gurriel Jr. However, Jonathan Davis earns the host's ire for getting picked off of second base, and Andrews demands heads-up baserunning at all times. Finally, Andrews looks ahead to tonight's start in what could be the last hurrah for Marco Estrada. Given his likely final turn against the Astros, Estrada needs to make tonight count according to the Nova Scotian, who also offers up a partial tribute to the Magician and his legacy as a Blue Jays hero.

On the night after one Ryan put up an amazing performance for the Blue Jays, it's up to another Ryan to match him! Ryan Andrews opens the episode with by gushing about the start Ryan Borucki turned in against the already-relegated Orioles, and how the young lefty was able to assert himself on the mound. With performances like this, Andrews defies anyone who tells them that Borucki is not meant to be a fixture of the Blue Jays rotation for the foreseeable future and how important it is for the team to get pieces like Borucki into place. The middle segment looks at the hitting the Blue Jays have gotten, and Andrews has praise for the likes of Rowdy Tellez, Danny Jansen, and yes, Kevin Pillar. The Nova Scotian notes how important it was for the younger bats to generate early runs without the help of the long ball, and how that approach is going to be crucial to the club's success. Jansen gets particular praise for stabilizing a position that has been a black hole offensively for the Blue Jays. The final third looks ahead to tonight's second game against Baltimore, and starter Aaron Sanchez. Andrews stresses the importance of Sanchez continue the trends that they have shown in September, avoiding needless walks and getting back to setting up the fastball the way they did against the Red Sox, and how the Blue Jays will use the rest of the month getting Sanchez back into ace form. The lineup, particularly Justin Smoak gets a mention as likely options against Dylan Bundy. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!

The season is winding down for the Blue Jays but there is still plenty to celebrate and talk about! Ryan Andrews dives into the first of a couple days' worth of topics from the Blue Jays' triumphant series against the Yankees in the Bronx. The starting pitching, outside of Marco Estrada, was great, and the host compares what Sean Reid-Foley and Thomas Pannone were able to do in their starts against New York. The two will likely be battling for a rotation spot in March, and Andrews declares who they believe has the inside track. The second segment is dedicated to the legend that is Ken Giles. Andrews details how important the mercurial closer is for the Blue Jays and how he may be a better closer than the one the team traded. The fans agree and the Nova Scotian details how Giles can maintain his slot for the Blue Jays until they are contenders again. The podcast closes with a discussion of the least-likeliest name to appear in a segment all on his own. But Mark Leiter Jr. has thrust himself into the 2019 bullpen conversation with some flashes of brilliance against Boston and New York. Does Andrews think the waiver claimee has a chance to stick around past the end of the season? Special thanks to @Lesley_NOPE, @biggles14, @DSteciuk and @hallamaniac07 for sharing their thoughts!

It is rare that one man is able to dominate an entire show, but special times call for special measures when it comes to last night's Blue Jays loss. Host Ryan Andrews puts the alligator boots to Yangervis Solarte for his unacceptable effort on the eighth-inning pop-up that allowed the winning run to score to put the Red Sox over the Blue Jays. The normally pleasant Nova Scotian can not contain their rage at the continued lack of care Solarte has put on the field, and how damaging it is for his teammates, including younger players like Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Teoscar Hernandez and Danny Barnes. The second segment is turned over to let the fans to get their licks in. Many fans agree that Solarte's lazy and lackadaisical play can not be tolerated by the Blue Jays and that he should be moved out as soon as the off-season hits. The final segment sees Andrews address how best to remove Solarte from the picture. Andrews contrasts the option the Blue Jays have with him against Justin Smoak and with Brandon Drury, who is essentially Solarte with effort. The host comes to the conclusion that the buyout is the best option, and sites the Josh Donaldson saga as proof that is the direction the Blue Jays will take.

The summer rolls along and so does the intrepid host of this daily Blue Jays podcast! Ryan Andrews dives into the main takeaway of the Blue Jays' tough 1-0 loss to the Red Sox the previous night, and that is the stellar start from Aaron Sanchez. The host analyzes the key's to Sanchez's success and how he can continue to recover his value by using his curveball as he did against Boston. It leads to an over-arching goal for the Blue Jays over the final 2 1/2 weeks. The second segment is dedicated to some off-field stories of the past week. Andrews discusses why the Red Sox and Yankees need to shut up and stop complaining about the Josh Donaldson trade, before diving into the rumor that Mark Shapiro and Ben Cherington could be heading to the Mets. Fans of all three of these teams will not be pleased. Andrews closes with a preview of the series finale against Boston, and what a successful start would look like for Sam Gaviglio. The Nova Scotian details what the swingman needs to do for the Blue Jays, while expressing hope that John Gibbons continues to give Rowdy Tellez and Billy McKinney all the playing time they can handle, especially against tough lefty Eduardo Rodriguez.

There's so many Ryans on today's episode! What are we going to do with all these Ryans? First of all, host Ryan Andrews will start with high praise for Ryan Borucki in the rookie's 6 1/3 inning outing against the Red Sox. Andrews notes how effectively Borucki was using his slider and dealing with a difficult Boston lineup. However, in the second segment, Andrews has to discuss another blown save by Ryan Tepera. With the Texan's usage rate up, the Nova Scotian Ryan discusses how Tepera's value seems worse because of the high-profile nature of his blowups, and discusses a point Cliff Floyd made about the mentality on the mound affecting Tepera's performance. Andrews concludes with an assessment of where Tepera goes from here, against the likes of Danny Barnes and Justin Shafer. The final third is a mixed bag. Andrews shakes their head at the route Kevin Pillar took in creating Steve Pearce's game-changing triple last night and what that error did to multiple Blue Jays on the field. However, Andrews closes with a happy discussion of the double steal that Devon Travis and Jonathan Davis executed in the sixth and what it means for the Blue Jays to have speed that can be used on the basepaths.

After a medical issue forced the shared observance of an off-day, host Ryan Andrews is back for another week of Blue Jays talk as the season winds towards its conclusion! Andrews leads a dissertation on the lessons learned from the Cleveland series, starting with everyone's favorite son Rowdy Tellez. Andrews examines where Rowdy's performance has put him on the Blue Jays map moving forward and what the club can do with him in 2019 given Justin Smoak and Kendrys Morales occupy his position. In the second segment, Andrews turns to the pitching and the starts that the Blue Jays delivered over the weekend. Marco Estrada was solid, but the Nova Scotian believes the Magician will need to put a couple more good shows together if he wants to reappear on the 2019 roster, then wonders if Thomas Pannone hasn't edged ahead of Sean Reid-Foley in the battle for a 2019 rotation slot. The final third is dedicated to the bullpen and a new strategy that the Blue Jays seem to be adapting from Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro's Cleveland days. With Taylor Guerrieri and David Paulino both working single innings in the series, Andrews wonders if this isn't a tactic to get longer arms in the Toronto bullpen to combat the durability and length issues that the team has seen sink their starters this year.

In honor of Rowdy Tellez and his four doubles in two MLB games, the podcast is hitting a double as well, with two Fan Friday installments! In this episode, host Ryan Andrews looks forward with the help of Blue Jays fans, predicting the 2019 rotation. Many fans are expressing doubts that Marcus Stroman will be a long-term part of the solution there, and Andrews does their best to explain the many ways Stroman's career can go. However, Ryan Borucki, Aaron Sanchez and Sean Reid-Foley get votes of confidence. The second and third segments deal with the lineup and @JAYSin2020's projection of what it could look like. A lot of young blood is involved but is it too much to expect all the rookies to take off immediately for the Blue Jays? Fans way in on where Devon Travis and Teoscar Hernandez fit in, as well as what to do with Cavan Biggio.

In honor of Rowdy Tellez and his four doubles in two MLB games, the podcast is hitting a double as well, with two Fan Friday installments! Leading off the first edition, host Ryan Andrews talks about Rowdy Tellez's first MLB start and all the feels it activated in Blue Jays fans watching him hug his father. Andrews details how Tellez has re-inserted himself into the conversation for consideration for extended MLB action following a rough 2017 campaign. Praise also goes to Reese McGuire and Lourdes Gurriel Jr., but not so much to the pitching staff spearheaded by Sam Gaviglio and Mark Leiter Jr. In the second and third segments, Andrews compiles a ranking for the teams that Blue Jays fans will be cheering for in the 2018 postseason. Various reasons are brought up for supporting teams, from watching players like Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez, to Toronto links like Alex Anthopoulos, to not supporting another team at all, the fans chime in from across the land to root for everyone but the Yankees. Andrews also offers their personal choice for an alternate team to root for.

It's a good thing the Blue Jays won last night, as it sustains Ryan Andrews before they get to the topics at hand in today's episode! Andrews highlights all the good things the Blue Jays did in last night's 10-3 win over Tampa Bay. From a 12-batter first inning that featured Billy McKinney's on-base strikeout, Devon Travis' pair of hits and Aledmys Diaz and his big blast, to a good Aaron Sanchez performance, to Rowdy Tellez and his emotional MLB debut, Andrews gets as many happy feelings in the podcast as they can. The second segment answers a report that John Gibbons is 99.9% gone as manager of the Blue Jays. Andrews accepted this inevitability, but they discuss just how much credit Gibbons deserved for the 2015-16 runs that the team made and where he ranks in the pantheon. The Nova Scotia also discusses Eric Wedge's candidacy for the job and questions how well the former Cleveland and Seattle manager fits in modern baseball. (There is a Scott Elarton reference!) The final segment discusses the beginning of a four-game series with Cleveland and Josh Donaldson's presumed return to Toronto. Andrews discusses Donaldson's importance in Blue Jays culture and what he means to the team, as well as the proper ovation that the Bringer of Rain deserves should he step onto the field. Julian Merryweather is mentioned. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18! It's the best way to get involved in Fan Friday! Subscribe on Google Play and iTunes!

Maybe it's an apt comparison, maybe it's because they were hungry, but Ryan Andrews is thinking of donuts on today's episode! Andrews opens with a lament of another deplorable Blue Jays effort on offense, and the inability to hit this Rays cluster of pitchers. The host examines the appalling production that the team has gotten from the middle of the lineup, particularly the #5 and #6 slots. Blame is placed on Kevin Pillar, Russell Martin and Teoscar Hernandez. The train of thought continues in the second segment, as Andrews offers an opinion on how the Blue Jays can address this in free agency, and acquire an asset that could be useful in either 2019 situation. The Nova Scotian singles out Arizona's A.J. Pollock as a potential one-year signing that could net a healthy return if Toronto looks to trade at next year's deadline. In the final segment, Andrews turns to tonight's series finale with Tampa Bay, and specifically Aaron Sanchez. The host is not sure if Sanchez wants to use his effective pitches, and they implore Sanchez to use the rest of the season to rediscover the curveball and not rely on a change-up that doesn't vary enough from his fastball to be effective.

Back from a Labor Day siesta, Ryan Andrews is put to work on today's Locked on Blue Jays episode! The host begins with a dissection of Marcus Stroman's blister issues and the reasons the nominal ace of the Blue Jays' staff was limited to 1 2/3 innings in his return from the DL. Andrews highlights the problems that Stroman has had in rushing himself back to action. When combined with Aaron Sanchez and his finger issues, the Nova Scotian paints a picture of a pair of starters who need to think about the future as opposed to just getting back on the mound. The second segment features another pair of Blue Jays starters trying to put themselves in the 2019 rotation. Andrews dismays at what has become of Marco Estrada and wonders what the change-up specialist has left in his tank going forward. Meanwhile, Sean Reid-Foley was dazzling in his third MLB start, and Andrews believes that this is closer to the real pitcher the Blue Jays have as opposed to his first two starts against Kansas City and New York. In the final segment, Andrews highlights Jonathan Davis, who appears to be on his way to Toronto to join the team, and picks out a couple more players who could join him. In addition, Andrews offers a prediction for who comes off the 40-man roster for Davis, and it does not look good for Dalton Pompey.

Some days there are not many things to talk about in Blue Jays land. This is not one of those days. In a rare weekend appearance due to yesterday's absence, host Ryan Andrews discusses the Josh Donaldson trade and the implication of what it means for all parties involved. Andrews discusses reports that the split of the Bringer of Rain and the Blue Jays was a long time coming, and a report from the Toronto Sun's Rob Longley increases the belief that Donaldson did more than his part to hasten this split. The second segment sees Andrews addressing the Blue Jays front office and the missteps it has made, ranking it alongside the Kendrys Morales contract and the constant masking and deception used to protect their assets. The Nova Scotian also addresses the fan base that is looking to abandon the club, noting that there have been other instances that would have been worth leaving the club for. In addition, Andrews admits Donaldson was going to be as much as part of the future as Curtis Granderson, and briefly discusses his departure as well. In the final segment, Andrews discusses the Granderson trade further and does their best to pronounce Demi Orimoloye's last name. The host also praises Justin Smoak and his pinch-hit grand slam that delivered the lone Blue Jays bright spot on a night where the team really needed it. Aaron Sanchez is let off the hook because of Smoak's heroics, and Sanchez is not mentioned in today's show. Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!

They are still feeling a bit woozy from yesterday's dental emergency, but Ryan Andrews will grit through the pain to discuss the sorrow of watching the Blue Jays get swept by the Orioles! Andrews begins with some tepid praise for the offensive efforts of Randal Grichuk and Devin Travis but then proceeds into exasperated condemnation of the mental errors plaguing the Blue Jays on the field and how it's something the team needs to work on in the off-season, especially with younger players like Lourdes Gurriel Jr. The second segment looks at the Blue Jays pitching and again, Andrews questions the mental makeup of the pitchers on the roster, particularly Ryan Borucki, Danny Barnes and Ken Giles. However, Tim Mayza earns praise for the second day in a row! Keep going, Tim! The third segment is dedicated to the memory of Jaime Garcia's Blue Jays tenure and where the Mexican lefty will slot in the history of Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro's free-agent signings. Spoiler, it's not great. Andrews muses on what his departure means for the Blue Jays and what mode the team is in heading into the final month of the season.

Not even the cold grip of the dentist's chair can keep host Ryan Andrews away from the first of the second century off Locked on Blue Jays podcasts! The host begins with an excoriation of the Blue Jays pitching staff over the previous two days. Sam Gaviglio, Danny Barnes, Thomas Pannone, Joe Biagini, Murphy Smith, no one escapes the Nova Scotia's novocaine-fueled wrath. However, Andrews does say something nice about Tim Mayza. In the second segment, Andrews turns to the Blue Jays hitting, addressing the end of Kendrys Morales' home-run streak, and necessary rest day. Andrews has good things to say about the performance of Randal Grichuk and a potential role for him in 2019, as well as Billy McKinney. However, Aledmys Diaz does not earn such high praises. In the final third, Josh Donaldson's rehab stint begins and Andrews is still baffled why the Blue Jays are willing part with the former MVP for nothing, as opposed to even getting the qualifying offer draft pick. Troy Tulowitzki also reasserted himself that he was going to play shortstop next season for the Blue Jays. No, the laughing gas had worn off by that time.

Whitzman begins detailing how she got involved with baseball from a young age growing up in New Brunswick and her rise through the internet ranks to the @BlueJays label and how she handled such Twitter responsibility. Andrews also apologizes for all the Potato World jokes they have made over the years, but they still get a Russ Adams joke off. In the second segment, the two discuss the recent Women at Bat event held by She's 4 Sports and Whitzman details how her story became one of perseverance and grinding through mascot costumes and the MLB Fan Cave process to the point where she could represent and interact with the Blue Jays fans. The East Coasters also discuss how baseball can improve its issues with diversity and recent social media issues that have arisen with younger players Whitzman highlights Kevin Pillar as an example of a person who has learned from their error and the part that the Blue Jays played in aiding that process.

Justin Smoak and Larry Walker will enjoy some of her answers. Not so much Alex Rios. Andrews closes with a message for the fans, what they have learned from the first 100 episodes and what they hope to take moving forward to hopefully hundreds more.

So sick with the Blue Jays hot takes that they actually fell ill for a little, Ryan Andrews is back to dish out a lot of high praise! Andrews starts with compliments on Kendrys Morales and his recent homer binge, recalling the dark times in May when it looked like the DH would earn the Jaime Garcia treatment and be sent out of town. Morales' recent run has acted as a rejuvenation for the Blue Jays and Andrews is happy to see someone experience success in the offense. In segment two, Andrews heaps more praise on Billy McKinney for what the prize of the J.A. Happ deal has been able to accomplish with the Blue Jays. The host asserts that McKinney has vaulted past Teoscar Hernandez, and reiterates that Teoscar should join the Bisons for the final week of their season. The third segment sees more praise for Blue Jays reliever Justin Shafer following a three-inning outing on Sunday. Andrews sees the Florida native's ability to use three pitches that start similarly but tail differently as key to his success and the Nova Scotian believes that Shafer has already cemented a roll in the Blue Jays' 2019 bullpen.

It's a sweep-celebrating episode of the podcast today! But does host Ryan Andrews have an interesting plan for the Blue Jays to discuss? In the first segment, Andrews praises the efforts of young Thomas Pannone and his dazzling performance against Baltimore. The host is especially pleased with Pannone's seventh-inning efforts when things could have easily unraveled for the Blue Jays. Andrews says that is the real sign that Pannone can be a key piece for this club. In the middle segment, Andrews turns to Joe Biagini and another strong outing from the erstwhile starter/reliever. The Nova Scotian cites a great interview done by Jenn Smith for The Sporting News that offers some insights into how Biagini is attacking the rest of the season and trying to establish his rhythm. Andrews approves. In the finale, Andrews discusses a plan for Teoscar Hernandez and that plan is demotion. With Billy McKinney playing well and Lourdes Gurriel set to return from the DL, Andrews says that Hernandez should be sent on the Devon Travis express to Buffalo to regain confidence in the tail-end of the AAA season. It can't hurt.

Kevin Pillar also gets special mention and earns a thumbs up from the host. In the second segment, Andrews discusses Jaime Garcia's performance as a reliever and whether or not the Blue Jays would be best served bringing Garcia back as part of a recent trend of finding veteran arms for the pen at knock-down costs! Madness! The third segment is devoted to tonight's contest.

Monday has rolled back around and not a moment too soon for Blue Jays fans! Ryan Andrews discusses the fallout from a brutal three-game series against the Yankees. Marcus Stroman couldn't deal with his blistered finger any longer and the host discusses how this is emblematic of the Blue Jays issues this season and why it is imperative the club figure out how to deal with these finger issues while the club has time to do so, especially with Aaron Sanchez now on the 60-day DL. In segment two, Andrews discusses the performances of Sean Reid-Foley and Ryan Borucki in Yankee Stadium. The Nova Scotian is kinder on Reid-Foley in his second start, but lays into Borucki and his shook start. The lefty looked like he let the situation get the best of him and Andrews has tips for Danny Jansen on how to deal with Borucki's jitters. In the final segment, Andrews discusses newly promoted Blue Jays reliever Justin Shafer and what the University of Florida product brings to the club. The host highlights Shafer's ability to limit damage, which makes him an attractive piece moving forward. Andrews also apologizes for ruining Luis Santos.

It's another Fan Friday edition of the podcast, one that Blue Jays fans can be assured will not be delayed by rain! Host Ryan Andrews begins with a look at the continued struggles of Sam Gaviglio and what his role for the Blue Jays will be going forward. Andrews is pretty blunt about where Gaviglio fits on a good team.

Andrews also explains what nutmegging means. The Nova Scotian closes with reaction to the six-game suspension that Jose Ureña received from MLB for drilling Ronald Acuña Jr. and how it is completely fails to address the main issue with the move.

The Blue Jays talk comes hot, but the Jose Urena takes may be even hotter on today's episode! Host Ryan Andrews tears into the young Miami starter for his cowardly act in the game against Atlanta where he plunked Ronald Acuna and forced him from the game. Andrews makes it very clear that this is caveman baseball culture taken to the extreme and it has no place in the game, drawing the comparison to if a Baltimore pitcher plunked Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The Nova Scotia makes their case for a harsh punishment. In segment two, Andrews discusses Marco Estrada's pitching performance against the Royals and how it may impact his ability to pitch for a contender in September. In the final segment, the host praises Curtis Granderson for sparing another lackluster Blue Jays performance at the plate, and rips into the team for another bad send from third base and more issues with the bases loaded.

Next, Andrews discusses Danny Jansen's mixed night and Ryan Borucki's struggles on the mound, offering advice for what the young pitcher needs to do to avoid becoming unraveled as he did against Kansas City.

Everyone calmed back down from the Blue Jay debuts last night? Ryan Andrews hasn't and they are ready to dish! Andrews examines Sean Reid-Foley's first MLB start and notes some concerns in his approach, but praises the way he was able to escape a bases-loaded jam with minimal damage. The Nova Scotian also gushes over Danny Jansen's night at the plate, both offensively and defensively and is totally not hyperbolic about what Jansen means going forward. In a detour, Andrews derides another poor base running decision by the Blue Jays, as Russell Martin is taken out by a mile at home plate in the second inning. With Luis Rivera repeatedly sending runners home to their demise, and the number of failed hit-and-runs piling up, Andrews tries to reason with the Blue Jays line of thinking, and comes to the conclusion that there will be multiple members of the coaching staff heading out the door in the fall. In the second half, Andrews highlights the recent performance of Luis Santos and argues whether or not the Dominican has earned a spot in the 2019 bullpen with his run of form since the beginning of July.

A brief Monday Musings today, but an important one as host Ryan Andrews talks about the new Blue Jays debuting tonight! The host opens in the first half with a discussion about the Blue Jays recent series against Tampa Bay, and how it served as a perfect microcosm of the season. Andrews laments the inability of the Blue Jays offense to curtail its hyper-aggressive habits and highlights how the team out-Rayed Tampa in the Sunday game by using Devon Travis and the speed of Kevin Pillar. Andrews questions whether Brook Jacoby shouldn't be shown the door regardless of whether John Gibbons stays on at the end of the season. In the second half, Andrews hypes up the debut of Sean Reid-Foley and Danny Jansen tonight in Kansas City. The Nova Scotian discusses how they feel this is a sign of the Blue Jays youth movement finally kicking into high gear and how it serves the ultimate goal of having a full team in place by the time Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is ready to become an MLB superstar. Ryan Borucki and Lourdes Gurriel get special mentions in this segment. Thanks to @douge77 for their contribution to the podcast! Check out the host's article at @JaysFromCouch!

A tough day all around for the city of Toronto yesterday and Ryan Andrews does their best to put a positive spin on the baseball aspect. In the first half, Andrews praises a rare decent day for the offense, despite the lack of production with RISP. Andrews singles out Devon Travis and Yangervis Solarte with good nights at the plate. The Nova Scotian also praises Marcus Stroman's strong start against a top opponent, but wonders if precautions shouldn't be taken with the blister Stroman appeared to be dealing with. In the second half, Andrews digs into the bullpen, as Ryan Tepera and Ken Giles earn deserved scrutiny. Andrews questions whether or not Tepera let his anger get the best of him, especially in the wake of some questionable calls. The host also wonders if Giles is not trusting his slider enough as an out pitch, as his fastballs won't work on guys who can hit 98 mph easily.

Andrews opens with a brief introduction and how the playlist will be divided, then they dive into the songs chosen by the Blue Jays faithful to serve as their selections to reflect this season.

However, it's not all negative. Some fans are maintaining a positive outlook by remembering the good times and looking ahead to what can be in the future, including Randal Grichuk.

Back from the outer edges of Nova Scotia, Ryan Andrews is back with a feel-good Monday edition of the podcast! Andrews discusses the Blue Jays and their fruitful series against the Mariners, where Toronto ended up taking 3-of-4 games. The host opens with the playoff atmosphere that Western Canadian fans were able to create and how it spurred the players on. Attention then turns to the stellar offensive performances that the Blue Jays received, from contributors like Randal Grichuk, Devon Travis, Aledmys Diaz, Russell Martin and Teoscar Hernandez. Andrews highlights how vital it is for players like Grichuk, Hernandez and Travis to use the rest of the season to find approaches that will give them success in the future. In the second half, Andrews discusses the pitching performances, from Ryan Borucki's stellar start, to Marco Estrada's return to form, to Sam Gaviglio's average outing. Andrews pinpoints Borucki as a future Blue Jays stalwart and declares Ken Giles has the same potential to lock up the closer role, and that both men can be part of a future contender in Toronto. Andrews closes with a discussion of Joe Biagini and his problems with the long ball, and why sending him to Buffalo is not the solution.

It's Friday and everyone seems to be in a better mood for a Blue Jays Fan Friday edition of the podcast! Host Ryan Andrews first thanks everyone who submitted songs that subscribe the 2018 Blue Jays and details plans for the tidal wave of responses. Then, Andrews goes into a deep dive about the random appearance of Mike Hauschild and what the former Houston farmhand was able to do against the Mariners. However, as much as the host espouses praise for the pride of Dayton, Ohio, Andrews also discusses a Shi Davidi piece on why his success was necessary to begin with and why the team doesn't turn to arms like Sean Reid-Foley, Thomas Pannone or even Drew Hutchison. In the second half, Andrews shines a spotlight on Teoscar Hernandez and his strong day at the plate. The Nova Scotian hopes it leads to a re-establishing of Teoscar's rhythm at the plate and leads to the outfielder some of the offensive load Kendrys Morales has been carrying.

In the first half, Andrews gives Oliver Drake a brief mention before going into their feelings on watching Happ head to the Bronx, and on what Brandon Drury and Billy McKinney bring the Blue Jays.

Ryan Andrews is not in a good mood and needs help sorting their feelings, so Jays From the Couch writer Roy Widrig is on the program to help! The two discuss last night's abomination of an 11th inning that sealed the Blue Jays' fate in a sweep at the hands of the Twins. Andrews laments the shambles that the bullpen has fallen into and the ninth inning double play that Kendrys Morales had no good choices in avoiding. Widrig points out how bench flexibility could have helped that issue and says that Yangervis Solarte may be expendable now, thanks to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. In the second half, the pair break down the trade of Seunghwan Oh to the Rockies and where Forrest Wall and Chad Spanberger will fit in the Blue Jays system. John Salvagno of SAL Notes offers a quick breakdown of Spanberger and his thumping power bat, and Widrig is intrigued by Wall's speed. Thanks to @SALNotes for the analysis!

Stephen Brown joins the podcast for another episode as host Ryan Andrews is not pleased with the performance of the Blue Jays nor Skype! The two deliver an autopsy on the Blue Jays' performance against Minnesota thus far, from how Ryan Borucki must feel, to Kendrys Morales being the best hitter in baseball, to John Axford being hung out to dry by the bullpen shenanigans of the previous game.

The Blue Jays bullpen game blew up on the team on Monday night and Ryan Andrews sifts through the rubble for some answers. They question the idea to send Tim Mayza out to the mound second, a move that looked bad before Jaime Garcia threw three shutout innings.

The second half is devoted to the news that the front office has lowered the asking price on J.A. Happ, with Cole Hamels, Danny Duffy and Chris Arhcer on the market, and why the Blue Jays are motivated to sell now. Follow the host @NeoAC18, as well as the podcast at @LockedOnJays!
