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

The penultimate Fan Friday of the season! Sadness.

A.J. Andrews takes the pulse of the fan base and wonders just how much optimism has been generated by this late run Toronto is on. Fans are skeptical, waiting to see what pitching moves are made, but signs point to a .500 season? I mean, most people will take it!

A double dose of Blue Jays talk to get you into the weekend starts now!

A.J. Andrews reflects on the Ryan Dull era in Toronto, as the reliever is DFA'd to make room for Breyvic Valera. Andrews notes the ramifications this move has for the health of Bo Bichette, which is of the utmost importance for the Blue Jays moving forward. Concussions are no laughing matter.

Also, she looks back at a lovely sweep of the Orioles (aside from the Bo-cussion), and how the offense was doing a lot of things right, even if some of the pitchers underperformed.

Back with another episode, it's D.J. Andrews! Wait, what? No...

Sorry, A.J. Andrews is back following her misnaming of Cavan Biggio on the night of his historic cycle! A.J. discusses what this means in Blue Jays history, what it means for Cavan to have that moment and that calling card along side Bo and Vlad, and why it cements him as a building block in the future.

She also discusses the Ryan Dull acquisition and Reese McGuire's promotion in the batting order.

The second half of Two for Tuesday, starts on a dark tone, but it gets better! I swear!

A.J. Andrews faces the joyless task of trying to replace Tim Mayza in the 2020 Blue Jays bullpen following his Tommy John surgery. The well-liked lefty will be missed, but there are some names up to the task. She discusses Thomas Pannone, Travis Bergen, Kirby Snead and Matt Dermody, as the primary candidates for the role.

The second half previews the upcoming series with Baltimore and what the Blue Jays can expect from Trent Thornton against the lineup Baltimore is throwing out there.

The podcast is back and feeling great now that the flights have all been dealt with!

A.J. Andrews returns from her Toronto excursion with the first of a Tuesday doubleheader! In the first half, she gives thanks to all the people that made her trip to the Blue Jays game against the Yankees a memorable experience, even if she had to pay $14 for a can of cider.

In the second half, she discusses the great performances, primarily on the pitching side, that gave the Blue Jays that series win. The bullpen and T.J. Zeuch get praise, Anthony Kay gets a meh, and Jacob Waguespack and Brock Stewart get woofs.

Red-eyed already, it's a late night edition of the pod before an early flight! So quality is coming!

A.J. Andrews sits bleary eyed ahead of her flight to Toronto and discusses the almost unworldly Trent Thornton outing on Wednesday against the Red Sox. The new curveball grip looked nasty, and Clay Buchholz's off-the-field influence alone may have earned him another contract based on his work with Butters.

However, she also has to talk about tonight's game, and the abominable play that was on display. From Buchholz missing his pitches to Billy McKinney's misplays to Derek Fisher in general, it was horrid and the 7-4 scoreline was generous. A.J. vents hard.

The tripleheader is heading into the homestretch! We can smell the pizza from here!

A.J. Andrews turns her attention to last night's 4-3 Blue Jays victory over the Red Sox and how Rowdy Tellez is straddling two different paths with the Blue Jays. It seems everyone wants him to follow one path, but can the slugger do it consistently? She also previews tonight's game with Trent Thornton getting a new look at a lineup with Wilmer Font opening, and how Jonathan Davis is being rewarded for consistent play (and putting Anthony Alford's future in doubt!)

The cream of the Oreo cookie that is today's tripleheader is coming at ya!

A.J. Andrews continues her marathon levels of Blue Jays talk by holding her nose and discussing Steve Simmons' recent articles attacking the Blue Jays front office, specifially his most recent one disavowing them of credit for Bo Bichette. It smacks of disingenuous tones and while there are things to criticize the front office for, this is not one of them.

Also, she discusses how Luke Maile is now out of a job. At least a catching job. That's because Reese McGuire has turned the catching situation into an outright platoon with Danny Jansen.

Back with electricity coursing through the studio again, its time for another tripleheader!

A.J. Andrews returns from a Hurricane Dorian-imposed power outage and starts by discussing the Blue Jays' disappointing final two games in Tampa. the offense is taken to task, although Jonathan Davis deserves some credit. She also talks about Anthony Kay and Jacob Waguespack, and their diverging paths en route to the 2020 Toronto rotation.
