We are back for a quick recap on the TERRIFIC Boston Red Sox series at Fenway, and the HORRENDOUS Los Angeles Angels series at Rogers Centre...there are a lot of things to unpack here. Pitching has been good, but offense and defense are two major things the Jays need to work on. We also give some love to outstanding 3rd baseman Matt Chapman, and breakdown what we think is going on with both Bo Bichette and Teoscar Hernandez. Things could only go up from here though right?

The Toronto Blue Jays are fresh off a 3 game series win against the disheveled Boston Red Sox, outscoring them 61-10, and we have A LOT to chat about. Boston's defense was ROUGH this weekend, and the Blue Jays' bats were HOT (as was the weather in Boston), scoring the most runs any Blue Jays team has ever had in one game (28-5). Raimel Tapia has been showing up for the team, hitting only the second infield grand slam in franchise history, and of course, we have some new opinions on him. What...

We are back yet again with discussions on everyone's FAVOURITE Canadian baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays. With more and more trade talk happening about the Washington Nats' Juan Soto, could he really become a Blue Jay? We bring our many thoughts, questions, and concerns to the table with this big one. We also chat about the newly announced All-Stars (incl. fellow Canadian Jordan Romano), and the newest Blue Jay in the nest, selected 23rd overall, LHP Brandon Barriera (proper last name...

The Toronto Blue Jays have fired the one and only Charlie Montoyo, and as ones that have defended him in the past, of course we have LOTS to talk about. We discuss how we feel about Charlie leaving, how we think the event played out (front office...), and what we think could come out of John Schneider and the quickly approaching trade deadline.

Back at it again with a Toronto Blue Jays recap! The AL East is absolutely insane - as it always is. Yes, the New York Yankees are still leading (and will be for awhile), but that does NOT mean that the Jays aren't doing well. With Kikuchi and Jose Berrios finding their grooves again, we take a look at what we think this team should do next.

We are back with another chat session about everyone's favorite Toronto Blue Jays - this time from the Land Down Under (AKA Australia).

The Toronto Blue Jays are finished up with their first series of the 2022 season, AND their first series win of the 2022 season. This round of Unexpected Jays recaps what a rollercoaster this series against the Texas Rangers was, and what we can look for in the next series against everyone's favourite (said lightly) New York Yankees. It is still very early in the season so some nerves are understandable, especially because this team seems to be one of the most hyped in baseball. Are we...
