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

Man, I sounded so much better back then...

An apologetic A.J. Andrews releases the first half of a two-part episode done with Kevin Weiss of Locked On Rays as part of Crossover Days on the network! On Wednesday, the two discussed the Blue Jays' strategy for finding starting pitching, what the Rays are doing with David Hess, which member of the Jays' legacy trio will have the best career and Kevin Cash's mad hatter plans for the Tampa lineup.

I guess I won't get the chance to work all these Kirby references in. All right then.

Kirby Yates is likely done for the year with a second Tommy John surgery and A.J. Andrews isn't surprised. Not at the rate of Blue Jays' injuries this spring. She discusses the risks the team took and how they can mitigate their losses following this news. Then, more injury talk! George Springer's oblique and Robbie Ray's stairs get talked about, along with some progress on the road to recovery for a pair of young Jays arms. Finally, a brief overview of the past few days in Florida, including Bo Bichette starting to find his form, Vladdy still being Vladdy, and a shoutout to Santiago Espinal.

Yes, I will work every Kirby video game into a title reference at some point.

A.J. Andrews starts a new week with the same old problem: Blue Jays are getting injured. This time it's Kirby Yates, who will miss weeks with a flexor strain in his pitching arm. She discusses what will need to be done to make up for Yates' absence and how the Blue Jays might have prepared for this happening. Then she salutes the youngsters of the spring with the help of some fans. It's mostly more Alec Manoah praise. Finally, she addresses a suggestion seen on Blue Jays Twitter in regards to bringing back a certain garbage person to pitch for the team with Yates injures. She explains why that is a terrible idea.

Twitter may be dumb, but Substack is outpacing it on a BB/K ratio.

Back from a lively discussion of Toronto sports in general, A.J. Andrews uses the Blue Jays off-day to catch up on Wednesday's game. She wishes she didn't. She discusses another worrying offensive effort from the lineup, the injury to Thomas Hatch and what that means for Toronto's starting pitching depth, and the re-assignment of rookies to the minor league camp, and what that means for who stayed and who went.

Ya girl does more than hold her own, she owns this discussion.

The second half of the Toronto Sports Roundtable that saw A.J. Andrews be joined by Sean Woodley of Locked on Raptors and Michael DiStefano of Locked on Leafs focuses on a ranking of the Top Five athletes in the Toronto sports market at this time. There is an easy pick for number one and it satisfies the Leafs talk, but then things get heated in the two slot. And A.J. goes off the board with a pick that has her co-hosts envious of her full Toronto sports knowledge. Hey, we gotta pump the tires here, because we know she'll definitely never do it herself.

Time to teach the boys a thing or two.

Yes, the second-ever Toronto sports round table with Sean Woodley of Locked on Raptors and Michael DiStefano of Locked on Leafs graces the airwaves! The first half of the table centers around A.J.'s Blue Jays and Sean's Raptors, as the trio discusses the hope surrounding the Blue Jays this spring, and what the Raptors should do with Kyle Lowry. Plus, Yuta Watanabe gets in there, because of course he does.

Sorry for the politics in the first segment, but if you're complaining, you don't need to listen.

A.J. Andrews starts the podcast with some words of mourning for the women slain by a white terrorist in Georgia today. Given the percentage of her family that is Asian, she discusses how much this hurts her to see and hear. Following that she discusses the Blue Jays pitching performances of the past few days, starting with Hyun-Jin Ryu going out and doing exactly what he needs to do to set the tone for this pitching staff. Robbie Ray is getting the message but are the others? Then she raves about Alec Manoah's dominant outing against the Yankees and wondering just how far away Manoah really is from major league ball. Then, given her dismissal of the offense yesterday, she does offer praise for a 21-hit, 14-run performance against the Phillies on Tuesday, and how a lot of bats that needed jump starts got it, and how Vladdy is going to win the MVP. Just kidding.

There a lot of ways to accomplish what's in the title. Sometimes they are hard to find.

A.J. Andrews starts off the week with admissions of darkness and what happened to her over the weekend from a mental standpoint, but how seeing some kind words were able to help lift her out of it. Amazing the power of a compliment. She doesn't have compliments for the Blue Jays hitters of late though, save for two. She discusses how Cavan Biggio's ability to lift the team when it needs it, and Alejandro Kirk's ability to just put bat on ball showed how vital they can be on days when the Toronto offense needs something to get going. Finally she recaps the Locked On Network fantasy baseball draft, the absolute horror that awaited her when she entered late, and how she turned that moment of sadness into a moment of happiness.

It's 3AM, she must be lonely...

Staying up late following another night in the college basketball mines, A.J. Andrews has some things to discuss from the past two days of Blue Jays baseball. First, with an impressive mashing performance today, led by Vladdy Jr.'s 3-for-3 outing, the lineup looks as good as it reads on paper. Is this the year Guerrero takes that step forward as an All-Star candidate? Next, Andrews discusses the starts made by Ross Stripling and Big Diesel himself, Tanner Roark, and if a six-man rotation makes sense given that most of the starts are firing on all cylinders. Finally, Tim Mayza talk, because she likes Tim Mayza and wants him to succeed.

I like Boston. I like Boston better when the Jays are better though.

Division Day continues on the Locked On Podcast network as Locked On Red Sox host Gab Starr joins A.J. Andrews for a lively discussion about their respective teams! Gab confirms that if she can't root for the Sox, she's supporting the Jays, which makes her very qualified to discuss topics like the Blue Jays' rotation, the growth of the young stars and why the teams keep fighting over Joel Payamps. And A.J. can't help but ask if she should draft Hirokazu Sawamura on all her teams, and what happened to that Sox outfield. Plus predictions! Because of course!
