Jays Centre Podcast

Owen and Jesse are overjoyed to get to talk about the Blue Jays' first series sweep since opening weekend against the Athletics. They talk about Trey Yesavage's impressive 7.1 inning start in the third game of the series, give flowers to Spencer Miles, Simeon Woods-Richardson, and Louis Varland for the game two victory, and break down Dylan Cease's rocky but effective start in game one.

After the Break they get into the offense and have nice things to say about Vladimir Guerrero Jr. after his homer in game three. They marvel over Brandon Valenzuela's ninth inning at bat against Aroldis Chapman in game three, talk about optimism with George Springer, and take joy in Davis Schneider's power outburst.

They finish with some injury updates, a prospect update, and a series preview for Chicago against the Cubs.

Well that was frustrating. The Blue Jays entered the ninth inning tied in BOTH game two and three, yet found ways to lose both of them. Owen and Jesse spend the first chunk of the episode venting their frustrations about this team and looking to solve some of their RISP woes. Next, they say Welcome back to Alejandro Kirk and celebrate Kazuma Okamoto hitting the first Blue Jay home run into the fifth deck since 2017! Plus, share some thoughts on Davis Schneider and Charles McAdoo, and also touch on Trey Yesavage and some of the issues he's been going through and what it's going to take to turn it around.

Owen Hill makes his return to the Jays Centre Podcast where he's joined by Jesse Burril. The two take an overarching look at what has been an overwhelmingly disappointing season from the Blue Jays before finding some positives in Dylan Cease's Historic 11 K performance, Jesús Sánchez's homer and double off of Zack Wheeler. They also provide some Ernie Clement All-Star propaganda, and debate whether Tyler Heineman will be DFA'd with the imminent return of Alejandro Kirk or if the Jays will decide to go with three Catchers.

They finish with a conversation about Clements quote about "identity" and a preview of the upcoming serieis against the New York Yankees.

Brandon Valenzuela is not only one of the best rookies in baseball, but, statistically, he's been one of the Blue Jays' best players. In this episode of the Jays Centre Podcast, Jesse and Matthew discuss Brandon Valenzuela and what this might mean for the catching position when Kirk returns. Then they take a look at Ernie Clements recent power surge and whether or not he will be an all-star this year.

They also touch on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s slump after a 0-10 series, plus some thoughts on Trey Yesavage and Kevin Gausman, before taking a look at what to expect for the upcoming series against Don Mattingly and the Philadelphia Phillies.
