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

OK, this episode is the positive one! Even if it comes with corrections...

After rectifying some mistakes in the previous episode, A.J. dives into some fake baseball, where happier times are here following the Blue Jays' five-game win streak! The starting rotation has been a driving force during the run and Andrews highlights their contributions, as well as the new name pushing into the All-Star picture from Toronto. Plus, two hitters have been driving the offense lately; Bo Bichette and... Teoscar Hernández? The right fielder has stepped his effort up over the last 10 games and Andrews notes how vital this is for making the Blue Jays as flexible as they can be.

Slightly more positive? Eh, we tried.

With the MLB Draft (or at least the stripped-down version MLB is peddling) now 10 days away, A.J. Andrews goes over the likely options the Blue Jays will have available at the fifth slot in the first round. Dreams of Spencer Torkelson will have to be quashed, but there are some tantalizing prospects available, as she talks about Nick Gonzales, Zac Veen, Emerson Hancock and more!

If you want positivity, that's the next episode. I hope.

The owners are scumbags, and the host has plenty of ammunition to back her thoughts up. The treatment of both major and minor-league players this week has shown which side of the labor dispute truly has the best interests of the game at heart, and A.J. Andrews is fed up. She unleashes on the owners, but does take some time out to praise David Price, who she can actually like again now that he's not on the Red Sox.

Good thing there is an off-day tomorrow. Can't lose at off days.

The Blue Jays bullpen blew another game and handed a sweep to the Orioles and A.J. Andrews doesn't know what to do about it. She knows the organizational modus operandi has been to build with cheap options but when will the Blue Jays have the young power arms to counter some of the other teams in the league? Maybe a 38-year-old lefty will help. Also, which Blue Jays are in position to make the virtual All-Star Game? One name might surprise you, but the other has a better shot than you would think...

Saturday night is a night for drinking, and it's definitely warranted in light of recent events.

The Blue Jays have lost four in a row, three of which came against the Orioles, and A.J. Andrews is in a despondent mood. She vents about the same problems that plagued the team last season. The offense is bad and the bullpen is even worse. The virtual world is just as cruel as the real one.

Seems like a no-brainer, right?

Ken Giles talked to Sportsnet's Hazel Mae and said he wanted to stay in Toronto. While admitting that he has to say that while employed by the Blue Jays, A.J. Andrews runs down all the reasons why he should get his wish and be a Blue Jay for the foreseeable future!

Call her Trader A.J.

The virtual Blue Jays have made a trade, but does that mean it doesn't teach us somethings about the real-life team? A.J. Andrews discusses how the move to acquire Stephen Piscotty and Matthew Koehler from the Athletics for Derek Fisher, Brandon Drury and Juan Martinez came about. She also talks about what she learned from the trade, particularly about Toronto's need for a bat that can actually hit lefties as part of the RF platoon. Also, she uses a conversation with @ThaGreatOne99 to frame why, among the many reasons, this trade would not happen in real life.

I know. I'm sad too.

A.J. Andrews tries to put the disappointing end to Nate Pearson's simulated MLB debut behind her and talks about why she waited until now to bring the Blue Jays' best prospect up from Buffalo. She also discusses why this mirrors some fears about Pearson actually making his first MLB start this season, and she tries to reason with herself the best way to handle the fragile potential ace.

Yes, we're at the point where we talk about logos.

Inspired by a recent Blue Jays tweet, A.J. Andrews discusses which logos she would choose for Toronto out of the nine options presented and why her third choice may surprise you. Plus, which KBO team should you be supporting? Our host can help!

Time to remember the old times! Gotta remember something.

A.J. Andrews leads a discussion of the first games of Blue Jays fans as well as herself. She goes back to 2006 when she traveled to Toronto for the first time and took in a Blue Jays-Athletics game that turned out to be explosive in more ways than one!

Thanks to @KarenSoutar1, @DaisySauvageau, @dannygalea99, @Robinegg_Amhers and @MatthewElmslie for sharing their first time!
