  • Jays Bats Silenced in Listless Loss vs. Brewers
    Apr 16 2026

    Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 2-1 loss vs. the Brewers in Milwaukee to even this series at one game apiece. They take your calls and texts, and get right to the eighth inning - is that just a tough luck outcome with Tyler Rogers on the mound, or does Brandon Valenzuela wear some of that as well? The offence produced just one run and five hits - what was behind Nathan Lukes batting leadoff and Kazuma Okamoto at DH? Plus, they discuss Dylan Cease allowing no runs over six innings of work - if he manages to be more efficient with his pitch count going forward, could he continue to go deep into games?

    Apr 15 2026

    Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 9-7 win vs. the Brewers to kick off the three-game series in Milwaukee!

They get into the six runs scored in the last two innings, and discuss the heroics from Andrés Giménez, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Myles Straw. Plus, Kazuma Okamoto both scored some runs and committed a late error - is he close to looking more consistent going forward?

    Apr 12 2026

    Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 8-2 loss vs. Twins, their fourth (not third) straight series loss. They take your calls and texts, and discuss the starters vs. the bullpen - can the team continue to sustain elite bullpen pitching when a good chunk of the rotation can't make it past the first few innings? They get into Max Scherzer specifically - were there any underlying results that looked good after allowing eight earned runs? Plus, they discuss Daulton Varsho, Ernie Clement and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. each with three hits, the continued struggles for Kazuma Okamoto and Nathan Lukes, and get into the season debut of Eloy Jiménez.

  • Jays Lose Springer to Injury, Fall Short vs. Twins
    Apr 11 2026

    Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 7-4 loss vs. the Twins to even the series at one game apiece. They take your texts, and discuss the two Jays arms who pitched in this game, Eric Lauer and Spencer Miles. How much credit does Miles deserve for saving the entire bullpen in the loss, and did Eric Lauer deserve a better fate despite allowing all seven Twins runs in that fateful third inning? They also get into George Springer departing the game with a fractured left big toe - if he is forced to miss time, is Eloy Jiménez the natural callup? Plus, they chat both the good and bad from Daulton Varsho, the early season struggles for Nathan Lukes, and Jesús Sánchez clubbing a home run in the ninth.

    Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 4-3 win over the Dodgers to wrap up the series in Toronto! They take your calls and texts, and get right to the bullpen holding it down after Dylan Cease departed with the bases loaded and nobody out - where do Louis Varland, Tyler Rogers, and Jeff Hoffman exist within the circle of trust?
