The MLB All-Star Game is in the books, and it’s time to talk about the first half of the season!

Tonight on the Jay Bird Watching Podcast, the gang is breaking down everything you need to know about the Toronto Blue Jays at the Midsummer Classic. From Ernie Clement starting at second base and making highlight-reel defensive plays, to Dylan Cease and Louis Varland throwing heat in their All-Star debuts, we recap all the action from Philadelphia.

We are also zooming out to summarize the Blue Jays' first half of the season. What went right, what went wrong, and what does this team need to do to succeed in the second half?

Tonight on the Jay Bird Watching Podcast, Craig, Liz, and Jason are venting about the recent horrors on the field. The Toronto Blue Jays' offense has been completely non-existent, scoring just a few runs over the weekend, leading to a brutal losing streak and a frustratingly failed series against the Seattle Mariners. We break down what went wrong and discuss how this lineup can wake up the bats. We finally scored some runs Tuesday night!

All this, plus we are catching up on the latest Toronto Blue Jays news, standings updates, and roster moves.

The Jay Bird Watching Bar Room is officially open, and we have a big leaguer joining us to talk about some massive mid-season decisions!

This week on the podcast, Craig, Liz, and Jason are thrilled to welcome former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Bob File to the show! Together, we are breaking down the state of the roster as the All-Star Game and MLB trade deadline rapidly approach.

We are thrilled to welcome back a true friend of the show for his 3rd visit: Shane Told, lead singer of Silverstein! Shane isn't just a legendary frontman; he's one of the most die-hard Blue Jays fans we know.
