  • 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. Bring back Julia! 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
