Flight Deck

That was an excellent Opening Weekend for the Toronto Blue Jays. The good guy rolled into Yankee Stadium and made a statement by picking up the series win despite having a couple of key players on the Injured List. There's a loooooong ways to go, but it looks like the Blue Jays are poised to go toe-to-toe with the Yanks this year.  So, what do things look like from the other side? We welcomed Joshua Diemert of Pinstripe Alley on the show to talk about the Yankees, what he expects from them this season, what he thought about the Blue Jays based on this weekend, and what it would take for Toronto to jump New York and win the American League East. Beyond that, we also talked about our three up, three down from this weekend, ranging from great performances from the Blue Jays bullpen and some big hits from Randal Grichuk to an awful bunt attempt by Danny Jansen and Cavan Biggio's difficult start. We also previewed what we're going to see over the next week as the team heads to Texas to face the Rangers and then heads home to Dunedin to host the Los Angeles Angels.

Welcome to Blue Jays Nation Radio! No, it isn't on the radio, but you get the idea. It's our podcast (which drops every Monday Morning) in which we'll be talking about all of the good and spicy Blue Jays-related content that you more than likely want to hear. Since we're just a couple of big-time dumbasses, our plan is to bring as many guests into the mix who actually know what they're talking about as possible. And that's exactly what we did this week! We welcomed FanGraphs' Dan Szymborski (the father of the ZiPS projection system) to the show to take us on a tour around the American League. Dan walked us through who's bad, who's good, and where the Blue Jays stand based on all of that. HINT: things look quite good. Other random stuff we touched on includes... The pitching puzzle that Charlie Montoyo and The Algorithm have to sort out, being all-in on the Thin Vlad breakout, and whether Nate Pearson might wind up in an Andrew Miller-esque role this season. We also took some insane Hot Takes from the audience to finish things off, which is, as you'd expect, interesting.
