  • I just can’t…

    Please remove Kaitlyn from the show. It’s painful to listen to her be unprepared and repeat everything Sho says five or six times. Will not listen when she is hosting, this is why I cancelled The Athletic. Thanks.

  • Propaganda

    Wow! Has Sho Alli always been this much of a Blue Jays apologist? He only seems to be able to find optimistic text comments to share with us - it’s uncanny.

    Remember when this show had actual live callers? What happened? Have a backbone and share what the people really think! When Hoffman blows the game (yet again), don’t hide the fact that 90% of your callers/testers are upset about it!

    ALL IS WELL IN BLUE JAYS LAND 👍

  • 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".

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jays Edge Mets in Bichette's Return to Toronto
Q: What was it like returning to Toronto in an opposing uniform for the first time?
Bichette described it as emotional and meaningful, with appreciation for the city and its fans, while acknowledging the mixed reactions as part of a respectful goodbye to a chapter in his career.
Gausman, Jays Chewed Up by Cubs at Wrigley
Q: Is there a plan to bring in extra bullpen arms for tomorrow?
Yes, there was discussion about needing another left-handed reliever and possibly bringing up an arm, with the understanding that the bullpen has to be managed carefully given a tight schedule.
Gausman, Jays Chewed Up by Cubs at Wrigley
Q: What went wrong in the first inning that set the tone for the game?
The team fell into an early deficit due to seven runs allowed in the first inning, driven by walks and a slider that wasn't working as intended, which put the Jays in a deep hole from the start.
Vally's Rally: Jays Sweep Red Sox at Fenway Park
Q: What made Yesavage's outing stand out today?
His ability to throw first-pitch strikes, avoid walks, and manage the bullpen effectively in a game that could have spiraled due to fatigue and bullpen usage.
JTP: Jays Avoid Sweep, Orioles Preview, Kevin Pillar & Pride Night
Q: What made the Jays successful against Chris Sale and what does that say about their approach to high-end pitching?
The Jays leaned into aggressive, in-the-zone hitting and attacked middle-middle pitches, effectively forcing Sale out of his comfort zone and extending at-bats even against a future Hall of Famer.
