  • 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.

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.
JTP: When Will Vladdy "Figure it out" + Blue Jays Prospect Report
Q: What stood out most about Sánchez's performance and routine
Sánchez delivered a high-quality, repeatable delivery aided by meticulous between-start work with his catch partner, Cesar Ramos, which translated into improved command and a strong stretch, even in a game where he allowed two runs.
JTP: Gausman Takes Blame, Prospect Report & Kevin Morby
Q: What was the overall takeaway from the Jays' bullpen usage and the upcoming rotation plans?
The discussion emphasized the bullpen's heavy workload and the need for reinforcements, with talk of potential returns from injured pitchers and how the team might stagger starts and bullpen days to stay competitive.
JTP: Blue Jays' Controversial Series Win & Phillies Check-In + John Axford
Q: What has changed for the Phillies since the managerial change, and how has that affected their performance?
Todd Zolecki explains that the change, combined with healthier rotation and key players returning, helped the Phillies improve by aligning offensive productivity with stronger pitching, especially Wheeler's return, which stabilized the rotation and allowed the offense to click more consistently.
Field Access: Myles Straw, Trey Yesavage, Tommy Nance, Spencer Horwitz
Q: What does it mean to break camp with the big-league club and what did you learn from the experience?
Breaking camp is about earning trust and proving I belong. It reinforced the importance of consistency, continuing to improve, and understanding that your job is to help the team win in whatever capacity you're given.
