  • Great Pod!

    This is one of my favourite Blue Jays Podcasts. I feel like they guys have a real feel for the team, the game and give great analysis of what’s going on.

    Thank you for all the hard work y’all put into this!

  • Are you guys alright?

    We’ve barely heard from you since the World Series. I know life gets busy but, I’ve wondered where you’ve been. Are you no longer interested in the podcast? Or, are your bosses unsupportive? Seems like an odd time stop podcasting about the team Torontonians are most interested in after the 3rd best Blue Jay season in the 50 years of the team. I hope all is well.

    It’s a bit much to hear 2 reporters bemoaning their hard life of having to follow the Blue Jays in the World Series and how tired they were - who cares?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Necessity Is the Mother of Invention
Q: What do you think the identity of this team is?
The identity is fluid and largely depends on who's healthy and producing; last year's identity was built on resilience, depth, and next-man-up contributions, but this year injuries and inconsistency have clouded a clear, sustained identity.
The Blue Jays Are Now a Main Character
Q: How significant is Jose Berrios' injury for the Blue Jays' 2026 plans?
It's a meaningful but not terminal setback: it affects opening day depth and rotation planning, but the long-term impact depends on how quickly he can recover and how the team manages innings and acquisition depth.
Solving a Pitching Puzzle
Q: How did Lauer approach his outing against the Yankees, and what does it say about his role this season?
Eric Lauer pitched with a clear focus on improving his changeup and curveball, speaking to a newfound freedom to work on things rather than just chasing results, which suggests a more measured path to his role and development in the rotation.
Solving a Pitching Puzzle
Q: What's the latest on Jose Barrios and the WBC insurance situation?
Barrios was pulled back from starting due to insurance/testing for the WBC, with the team evaluating medical information to determine next steps and whether he's ready to pitch soon, emphasizing that his health and readiness come first.
Solving a Pitching Puzzle
Q: What has stood out to you so far about the Blue Jays' pitching this spring?
Dylan Cease's arrival as the marquee offseason addition stands out for his velocity and the intellectual, curious approach he brings to mechanics and learning, which the team is leveraging to shape the rotation. There is also attention on workload management, especially with Cease's high strikeout potential and the plan to maximize efficiency with first-pitch strikes.
