Locked On Blue Jays - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Blue Jays

No more Tyler Chatwood in the eighth!!!

A.J. Andrews is excited by the news of the Blue Jays' four-player deal with the Marlins and what it means for the team. First, she discusses outfielder Corey Dickerson returning to his AL East stomping grounds, and why Rowdy Tellez' struggles this season emboldened the Jays to take on the salary for this left-handed batter. Next, she gushes over Adam Cimber, the submariner righty joining the Jays' pen and where he will fit in with his aggressive ground-ball tactics. Finally she bids farewell to Joe Panik, prospect Andrew McInvale and the DFA'd Travis Bergen, and why they were chosen to depart.

I wanted a nice happy show. I wanted a lot of things.

A newly-Twitter approved A.J. Andrews wanted to talk about Alec Manoah having a good night and Vladdy hitting his 25th home run and George Springer getting off the 0-fer slide he was on since returning from the IL. Nope. She gets little of that, managing to force some Manoah talk in. However, yet again, she has to discuss the Blue Jays bullpen being terrible and being unable to find the plate and it hurts, y'all. She talks about why the Blue Jays have such a mess that a rookie making his third MLB appearance is being called on as a fireman, and if there's anyone on the farm that might be able to help.

Has to be good, right?

A.J. Andrews has observed the Blue Jays making a brief run with a four-game win streak, and she's not impressed. Yes, this was a necessary turnaround against teams like the Marlins and Orioles, but there is still plenty of work to do. Against Miami, the slack was picked up by the two starters, and she heaps praise on Ross Stripling and Robbie Ray for their efforts. Finally, she figures out what Charlie Montoyo has done to solve his bullpen issues: employ a shortened bench. Hence the same trio of arms making appearances on multiple days.

I don't know if the desk is getting smoother or my forehead is.

The Blue Jays have new, exciting ways to lose games and scoring opportunities and it's grating on A.J. Andrews. The bullpen blew yet another lead and she tries to grapple with how the Jays can continuously fail to protect leads. Then she goes into the 1-3-6-5-2-6 triple play, a thing that the Blue Jays helped create today, and dissects what went wrong. Finally, she looks at how Charlie Montoyo has been managing this beleaguered pen, and how his handling of Tayler Saucedo may be indicative of more problems with the team's direction.

Trying is hard.

A.J. Andrews wanted to have a positive episode appreciating what Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been this season and what a testament it has been to his hard work. But the Jays' struggles of late have left her struggling to do so. She tries to compare him against Mike Trout, but again runs into some issues after seeing what has become of Trout's tenure in Los A-... Anaheim. Finally, she tries to picture where the ceiling is for Vladdy, but sees the bullpen waiting on top of the glass.

I don't know why I had to bleep out the word "leak."

A.J. Andrews is so tired of the Blue Jays bullpen. She's tired of having to talk about it in only negative ways. Granted, they had some help Thursday and Friday, but that doesn't make her any less grumpy. She details just how the bullpen is paining her, and goes over some proposed solutions. John Axford and David Robertson are not at the top of her list (Jairo Asencio is higher on her list). However, there are reasons to believe it will be fixed. She ends with that because positivity is good.

Such kind hosts in Chicago.

One night after the Blue Jays' bullpen gifted the White Sox a victory, Toronto was the beneficiary of such a gift in a 6-1 decision. A.J. Andrews discusses how the White Sox' issues in the field needed to be taken advantage of and how important it was that Toronto actually managed to do it in spite of their best efforts, she talks about Alec Manoah's bounce-back effort and the resilience it showed, the bullpen delivering four solid innings, and she looks ahead to tomorrow's Hyun-jin Ryu start.

As the weather shifts, so does the host's mood.

The Blue Jays can't have nice things. Robbie Ray went out and K'd 13 White Sox, and the Blue Jays lost because of another bullpen meltdown, and an offense that squandered way too many chances to put the pressure on the AL Central leaders. A.J. Andrews does her best to get through the negative so she can gush about Ray's performance, but there is a lot of negative tonight.

Had chicken strips for dinner tonight, even.

A.J. Andrews is in a better mood. Beach is good, getting a vaccine is good, Blue Jays went 3-2 at home. So why is she complaining? She starts with the offense, which suffered when Vladdy was unable to get going. Then, Tyler Chatwood and Charlie Montoyo earn her ire again for not knowing when to just stop. Finally Danny Jansen's injury has her worried where any kind of offense is going to be coming from at the catcher's spot. At least Ross Stripling is on her good side for now!

Zach Pop is one of those pitchers writers love.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is very good. A.J. Andrews goes in-depth on this in this episode of the podcast. Plus she discusses Robbie Ray, Tim Mayza and Rafael Dolis all getting the bounce-back performances they needed, and she tees up Alec Manoah's second MLB start. She tries to keep herself restrained.
