  • Perfect way for US fans to stay connected to the team

    Listening to the Jays post game show and daily Jays Talk Plus kept me connected to the team since I live in the US with a weak car antenna (Sportsnet doesn’t come in very well most days in Buffalo).

    Blair and Barker are so great at breaking down games, and I enjoyed the insights, banter, and interviews from Julia and Blake so much this season. Episodes with Sho were also excellent, and each host/set of hosts adds something unique. Just a must-listen podcast for US fans in particular who want to... more

  • Unlistenable when hosted by Blair and Barker. Great when hosted by Sho Ali.

    Jays Talk + on the same feed: it's decent, but Blake is more pretentious every year; people don't know your inside references, they don't care that you covered the Raptors in 2019, they don't care about your passion for punk rock or pro wrestling. And he needs to be a lot more humble about "looking under the hood". He and Julia both have a lot of verbal tics; "Yeah" is not a period and not everything is "kinda".

It breaks my heart we had to go down like that seeing videos of Kirk’s broken bat on the field as the dodgers where celebrating and learning that vladdy was gonna give his ring to his dad just bre... more

  • Great insight

    I’m a huge Dodgers fan going back to Drysdale. I listened to you guys to get your take after game 2. You guys were way better than the Dodgers podcasters or the Phillies podcasters. Non “homers. This cowboy guy can break pitching down like Einstein. Hearing him talk about Yamamoto made me feel like I earned my PHd. Very insightful. Both guys are very articulate and fair. I’ll keep listening.
