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

Seriously, we all thought that about Aaron Loup right?

Game 2 of the World Series is in the books and A.J. Andrews shares her thoughts from watching the Rays' 6-4 victory over the Dodgers. She discusses Brandon Lowe finally hitting like the guy who was the bane of the Blue Jays this season, the true unsung hero in the Tampa Bay lineup, Aaron Loup pitching in the ninth inning, and what Los Angeles needs in order to get back into a rhythm in this series.

Cody Bellinger is a human cheat code.

After a World Series Game 1 that looked like it might turn on a dime, A.J. Andrews discusses what she saw from Los Angeles and Tampa Bay in last night's action, including a lucky defensive play, Tyler Glasnow's Rick Ankiel impression and the Dodgers' offensive versatility on display. She also discusses some recent Blue Jays news, as Toronto added four international pitchers. A.J. is excited by Jeury Hiciano. She also talks about the Blue Jays' minor league realignment and which franchise picked up the Vancouver Canadians as its new affiliate.

I'm sorry y'all. I just really needed that space.

A.J. Andrews returns from a week-long break from the podcast to discuss the World Series matchup before the fans! Tampa Bay and Los Angeles were the two best teams in the regular season and A.J. goes over how they were able to maintain such success and how their styles will matchup against each other in this series. She reluctantly makes her prediction for the outcome, and gives a special shoutout to the former Blue Jay involved! We see you Aaron Loup!

And now for something completely different...

It's that time when there is little Blue Jays content to talk about, so A.J. Andrews is very thankful that Ian Hunter (@BlueJayHunter) compiled a list of the 28 Blue Jays players to only appear in one game for the franchise! Andrews takes a few guesses but is way off, and then she goes down memory lane with each name. Some of them are very short memories. Some don't exist. But it's a fun diversion, and we need those right now!

I hate that I have to talk about this guy.

A column from the Toronto Star's Rosie DiManno heavily advocates for the Blue Jays making a pitch to Trevor Bauer in spite of his off-the-field antics, and A.J. Andrews isn't impressed. Following in the wake of a piece that Gideon Turk wrote for Blue Jays Nation, Andrews offers her views on how signing Bauer would run contrary to everything the front office aimed to establish, especially given the departure of another starter, and how signing Taijuan Walker makes more sense long-term.

C'mon Tampa Bay.

With Game 5 of the remaining ALDS series tonight, A.J. Andrews offers her views on two teams she has seen a lot of this season; the Rays and Yankees. She discusses what both Gerrit Cole and Tyler Glasnow need to do to maintain their perfect status, how the home-run ball will factor into this matchup, and one key area where Tampa Bay will have the advantage on New York. Although in her fantasy land, OK Blue Jays rings throughout Petco Park as Toronto comes charging in. Dreams. Only dreams.

Seriously. Game of the year.

A.J. Andrews finishes up her dual-chambered episode day with a look at lessons from the NLDS for the Blue Jays to take hold. She gives a shoutout to ex-Jay Jon Berti, but highlights why he is part of the problem Miami is having with Atlanta, and what this should mean for Toronto's shopping list in the offseason. Plus... ah who we kidding? More gushing about Padres/Dodgers. It was good y'all!

Sorry. No easy joke here.

With no more Blue Jays games to watch for the year, A.J. Andrews is turning her attention to the broader spectrum of the MLB playoffs. She starts with the ALDS and an annoyed admittance that Houston is good again, and peaking at the right time. However, a trend has emerged that is leading to Astros' success, and it's one illustrated by the Yankees' use of ex-Jay J.A. Happ. This trend of bullpen days has caused calamity for teams forced to employ it, and the Blue Jays would do well to take note. Even if this format will never be repeated, the lessons will ring into 2021's postseason and beyond...

This is much more fun than talking about the Rays.

Ross Atkins wants to make some improvements to the 2021 Blue Jays and A.J. Andrews is definitely here for it! She goes over Atkins' statements to the media on Friday afternoon and spends the first night of her vacation dreaming about some of the things Atkins can do to achieve the things that he stated. She even has suggestions for a couple of moves, including signing one impending free agent while staying away from another on the market. Plus, is now the time to ask Cleveland about Francisco Lindor?

Let us not forget, there is hope.

A.J. Andrews continues her look through the remains of the Blue Jays' brief postseason stay with a glimpse at how the Rays were able to counter perceptions and make trades that gave them the players that played a key role in the Jays' defeat. There is something to be learned here. Andrews also overviews the pitching, which outside of Hyun-Jin Ryu was pretty good. She is especially excited with the postseason debut of Toronto's top prospect and what that means for the future.
