Blue Jays Happy Hour

THIS IS A PREVIEW OF OUR LATEST PATREON-EXCLUSIVE BONUS EPISODE. Trey Yesavage had one of the most electrifying debuts for a Blue Jays pitcher in recent memory. How do we know? Because in this Patreon-exclusive bonus episode we reminisced about other top prospect call-ups over the years—like Nate Pearson, Alek Manoah, and Marcus Stroman—and discussed how Yesavage stacked up.

After getting a couple of negative things—Bo Bichette's injury, Orelvis Martinez's release—out of the way up front, we spend the rest of this week's episode vibing out on a Jays team that has won six straight, keeps hitting, keeps showing incredible resilience, has had its bullpen bounce back, has Kevin Gausman pitching like it's 2022, and has added a new playoff weapon in the form of Trey Yesavage—who, if he keeps pitching the way he did in his debut, may even wind up in the rotation come October.

THIS IS A PREVIEW OF OUR LATEST PATREON-EXCLUSIVE BONUS EPISODE, in which we got a little bit irrational—which, for us, means some vibes-based predictions about the likes of Jeff Hoffman, Alejandro Kirk, Anthony Santander (whose rehab assignment was announced just moments after we recorded, making parts of that segment instantly out-of-date), and the Jays' impotent baserunning attack (which sees them rank 27th in MLB by both baserunning runs and total stolen bases).

The Blue Jays still have plenty of fight in them, but this week they're faced with some real questions, too. The injury to Bo Bichette, the continuing struggles of Jeff Hoffman, and Max Scherzer's potential unravelling all loom large over the club with the playoffs fast approaching. This week we talk all about it, plus some actual positives—like Vlad, Springer, Braydon Fisher, and the impending return of Tony Taters—too!

Let's remember some old guys! George Springer is having an old man season for the ages—one of the best overall offensive seasons in Blue Jays history—and in this week's bonus episode we try to put it into context within the Jays' history of age-35+ campaigns.

The Blue Jays' relievers are in a collective funk, their starters aren't doing a whole lot better, time is running out to get the pitching staff sorted, and some guys seem seem less likely to reemerge than others. Fortunately, the hitters—led by George Springer, and with Anthony Santander getting closer to a return—pulled more than their weight this week in Cincinnati, and look poised to lead the team into a crucial weekend series against the Yankees.

This week we talk about all that, plus Addison Barger, José Berríos, Trey Yesavage, and a whole lot more!

The Jays stuck it to their most annoyingly miserable fans on Wednesday night with a wild comeback win to salvage a series win over the post-deadline husk of the Minnesota Twins, but a 5-4 stretch against sub-.500 teams and a collective bullpen wobble has frayed a lot of nerves, and this week we try to make sense of what's going on with a huge series against the Brewers on the horizon—not to mentioned a much tougher schedule ahead, and the Red Sox and Yankees footsteps audible.

Plus! The potential end of the Lauer Hour, Davis Schneider appreciation, and a whole lot more!

After a brief digression to discuss Tommy Pham being an idiot, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s health, our thoughts turn to the Blue Jays’ rotation this week.

Shane Bieber will make his debut for the club on Friday in Miami, which means that Eric Lauer's dream season has taken another twist, as he head's back to the bullpen—albeit only temporarily. What's up with that? What's going on with Berríos? What do we expect from Bieber? We guarantee we'll answer all of these questions*, and so many more! (Not a guarantee).

Plus! Myles Straw appreciation time!
