Jays Centre Podcast

Jays Struggle against the Royals in front of a packed Rogers Centre. Vladdy's nightmare season continues, Spencer Arrighetti, Simeon Woods Richardson, and Michael Lorenzen get shelled in finale, and the baseball continues to be just not quite good enough.

Owen and Jesse are with you to break down a crushingly disappoiting series.

Owen and Jesse are disappointed by the Jays losing two of three to the Yankees, but remain positive about the bigger picture and how the process has looked. There are questions about Spencer Arrighetti, José Soriano, the lack of production with runners scoring positing and the serious power outage, but the overall vibe remains positive as the Blue Jays compete for a playoff spot.

The guys touch on everything Jays from a tough series in the Bronx.

It's time to change the narrative about Tropicana Field. No-longer should we be calling it the House of Horrors.

Alejandro Kirk is the hottest man alive, Kazuma Okamoto is hitting for power again, Daz Cameron is putting balls on catwalks and Nathan Lukes is making unreal defensive plays. José Soriano and Shane Bieber have given the starting rotation a second wind, and the Blue Jays have won seven straight series' and five straight against teams above .500.

Owen and Jesse are thrilled to bring this episode of the Jays Centre Podcast to you.

Owen and Jesse are pumped to see the Blue Jays continue to win baseball games, but they're still skeptical of the sustainability of those wins. Yet- the Blue Jays have win another series and there a plenty of positives to break down.

They talk about why Alejandro Kirk hasn't gotten as much praise as he deserves, Charles McAdoo, Brett Bateman, and of course Louis Varland's incredible season.

Owen and Jesse have a busy four game series against the Boston Red Sox to break down, but the start by debating what has changed for the Blue Jays over this recent stretch of five straight series wins.

They break down the series game-by-game, focusing on the viral "fourth out rule" that broke our brains in game one, Charles McAdoo's contributions, Brett Bateman's explosion onto the scene, and José Soriano's strong but slightly disappointing second start as a Blue Jay.

All that and so much more on an extremely excited episode of the Jays Centre Podcast.

Owen is pumped that the Blue Jays are playing better baseball, but Jesse is a little less convinced. Owen makes the case that the Blue Jays are better than every team currently between them and the third American League wildcard spot before the guys go into a full breakdown of the series in Philadelphia.

They talk Zack Wheeler's antics, Nathan Lukes and Andrés Giménez heroics, and José Soriano's first Jays start, before breaking down a huge upcoming series against the Red Sox.

Owen and Jesse break down a quietly encouraging series win against the Houston Astros, but are brought right back down to Earth after Dylan Cease's seven scoreless innings are wasted by Jays hitters going 1-19 with RISP against the Cubs.

Owen and Jesse are scratching and clawing to find positives at this point in the season, especially after the Jays drop two of three to the Red Sox. They talk about Kevin Gausman's bounce back performance in what could have been his final start as a Blue Jay, and the legacy that he'll be leaving behind if he is in fact traded in the next week. They talk about Shane Bieber's trade value in comparison to Gausman's before getting into George Springer's value in a potential trade.

Of course, Owen and Jesse have thoughts from the actual baseball that was played this weekend and have tons of Praise for Dylan Cease's historic one hit, 12 strikeout, complete game shutout.
