Hi! Welcome to the latest episode of Radio Scouts Podcast. We (mostly John) rant about the team defense and embarrassing lack of fundamentals, Vlad's swing, Montoyo's curious managerial decisions and inexplicable love for Joe Panik, we talk about Teoscar's scorching hot start, our first impressions of Toronto's home at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, and more in this compelling ~hour of sports talk.

Join us as we review the first week of REAL BASEBALL. We talk about Charlie Montoyo's blind faith in the word of pro athletes, try to come up with a nickname for the Hatch/Kay piggyback, discuss whether Vlad Jr. is the next Delmon Young, and poorly executed liquor theft scams.With John Havok, Alan Tisseman, Michael Paul, and Linc NgIntro/outro music:Track: Disfigure - Blank [NCS Release]Music provided by NoCopyrightSoundsWatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZsBPK656sFree Download/stream: http://ncs.io/blankSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/radioscouts)

I normally try for a witty or funny title, but we are all just overjoyed that our favourite sportsball medium is set to return. We discuss that, Alan finally gets to enjoy a Jelly King, John antagonizes everyone by insisting that El Capitan will be traded and even Nick makes it on for most of the show!SPORTS!!!!!As an aside: Andrew decided to leave the podcast on his own accord some time ago due to losing intense interest in the sport. Linc has become a regular and we believe he adds another element to the podcast with his vast knowledge of the minor leagues and college baseball. We are in the process of changing our intro but also are looking to license some music but hitting snags. We apologize for it being out of date and the jokes are getting pretty stale by now, especially since none of the current hosts have contracted gonorrhea...I'll leave the rest to your own intuition. We promise to have something new fairly soon.With John Havok, Michael Paul, Linc Ng, Nick Hill, and Alan TissemanIntro/outro music:Track: Disfigure - Blank [NCS Release]Music provided by NoCopyrightSoundsWatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZsBPK656sFree Download/stream: http://ncs.io/blankSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/radioscouts)

We are still alive, but who wants to listen to a baseball podcast without baseball, right?In this episode, Radio Scouts Regional Crosschecker Linc joins Mike, Alan and John to talk about everything draft-related, centered around who will be selected by the Jays with the 5th pick.

Welcome back to Radio Scouts Podcast. Thanks to a multitude of Blue Jays moves on Tuesday, we have so much to get into, so let's not waste another minute.(0:00) Intro(0:13) THE DECISION! We announce the verdict on the Darrell Dynasty League trade that Mike and Andrew discussed at the end of the show last week: Carlos Correa for Bo Bichette, Nate Pearson, and Touki Toussaint.(2:43) Kevin Pillar OUT; shipped out of town for some stuff: RP Derek Law, 2B/OF Alen Hanson, and SP prospect, Juan De Paula. We also briefly touch on the Kendrys Morales trade, which broke after we wrapped recording last week.(6:47) Anthony Alford IN; recalled from AAA Buffalo. What's the plan with him? We discuss this.(8:53) Randal Grichuk inks a 5-year/$52M extension with the Jays. We agree collectively that the potential is there for some pretty good value, though this deal is not devoid of risk. We also speculate if this extension is a direct response to the seemingly evident shift in the contractual landscape of Major League Baseball, and who might be the next player to be extended.(20:13) Socrates Brito (80-grade name) acquired shortly after the Pillar trade broke. Flipped for minor leaguer, Rodrigo Orozco.(20:52) Bud Norris released from his minor-league deal(21:13) How have the Blue Jays looked through the first 6 games of the season? We offer our thoughts, while not reading much into such a small sample size. What should we expect out of this team this season? Rotation talk (Matt Shoemaker, Trent Thornton)Brandon Drury(29:08) Vlad is healthy again and back to playing baseball. How long does he spend in the minors before getting the inevitable call to the bigs?(30:32) Notable minor league assignments ('A' Lansing: Eric Pardinho, Jordan Groshans, Josh Winckowski, Otto Lopez, Alejandro Kirk, Mc Gregory Contreras; 'A+' Dunedin: Nate Pearson - probably not long for High-A).(32:43) Totally appropriate and necessary banter(35:28) Parting thoughts on the Kevin Pillar trade(38:35) OutroAs always, thanks for listening.Follow us on Twitter!Recording date: Apr. 2, 2019Intro/outro music:Track: Disfigure - Blank [NCS Release]Music provided by NoCopyrightSoundsWatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZsBPK656sFree Download/stream: http://ncs.io/blankSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/radioscouts)
