It's been a good week for the Blue Jays, with some actually encouraging signs showing up in their offence. Addison Barger might be for real, Alan Roden and Davis Schneider are back after successful spells in Triple-A, but more important than that is the fact that lately we've been seeing the best of guys like Bo Bichette, Alejandro Kirk, and George Springer—some of the very guys the team had futilely pinned their hopes for "internal improvement" on over the last two or three years.Plus, we look at some of the club's recent roster shuffling and injury woes, check in on the state of the rotation, the bullpen, and some prospects, and take a look through the Athletic's recent Blue Jays All-Quarter-Century Team.

Sho Alli and Julia Kreuz break down the Blue Jays' 8-7 win over the Athletics to take the series in Toronto! They take your calls and texts, and get right to a tough injury for Daulton Varsho, who left the game with a hamstring strain - if he misses any length of time, what are the team's options? Plus, they react live on-air to Davis Schneider being pulled from the Bisons game in the first inning - is he going to be the solution? They discuss Jeff Hoffman giving up a two-run bomb in the ninth but still coming away with the save - should Yariel Rodríguez, who looked good again, get save opportunities moving forward? They discuss four home runs, one from Bo Bichette and Addison Barger, and two from George Springer - what does the team need from Springer moving forward if Varsho is to miss time? To wrap up, some trivia for a George Springer football replica jersey giveaway!

Guests: Blue Jays centerfielder Daulton Varsho, third baseman Addison Barger, Buffalo Bisons manager Casey Candaele This week, we talk to two of the players most consequential to the Jays' recent turnaround that has seen them win eight out of 12 games going into their May 22 series finale against the San Diego Padres. Daulton Varsho leads the team with seven home runs despite only having been active since the end of April. He joins us to talk about his power prowess, his ongoing recovery from shoulder surgery and his advice to his teammates who had been struggling offensively when he arrived. Addison Barger got a chance to play every day when Andres Gimenez got hurt and been one of the Jays' best hitters since then. He talks about his time on the shuttle back and forth from Buffalo, his power potential and his record-setting day in right field back in April. Also, we get the word on the Jays' to minor-league affiliate and the players down there who are on the verge of helping the big club from Bisons skipper Casey Candaele.
The Blue Jays are not a team without problems, as we've been seeing all season. But after (eventually) picking up a much-needed and well-deserved sweep of the San Diego Padres—and potentially finding some solutions to some of their run-scoring problems in Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes, and a Daulton Varsho suddenly leaning in on his power—they now find themselves over .500 for the first time in more than a month. And just like that things feel about as good as they have all season. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
