Podcast appearances and mentions of al wild card

A sloppy, mistake-filled loss to Pittsburgh—capped by Gabriel Arias getting doubled off second on a bizarre baserunning blunder—has the guys questioning whether Arias has any runway left once Jose Ramirez returns to third base. They contrast his four years of recurring gaffes with rookies like Cooper Ingle and Kahlil Watson, who they say deserve more slack simply because they're new. The conversation spins into frustration over Pittsburgh fans overrunning Progressive Field for the Paul Skenes start, with the crew arguing the Pirates—not the Reds—should be Cleveland's real interleague rival. They close out noting the tight AL Wild Card race, which they say makes a quiet trade deadline more likely than usual.

The Blue Jays snapped their three-game losing streak Saturday afternoon with a 1–0 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Toronto now sits at 46–52 and remains 3.5 games back of the final AL Wild Card spot as the teams prepare for the rubber match at Rogers Centre.On game preview 99 of Flight Deck, hosted by Dan Riccio, we break down Shane Bieber's best performance since joining the Blue Jays. Bieber earned his first victory of the season after throwing six scoreless innings, allowing only three hits and two walks while striking out six. Could this be the outing that finally gets Bieber's season back on track?Toronto's bullpen made the one-run lead stand up. Jeff Hoffman, Tyler Rogers and Louis Varland combined for three scoreless innings, with Varland pitching a perfect ninth to record his 20th save of the season. After the pitching staff surrendered 12 runs in the series opener, how encouraging was this complete turnaround?The offence did just enough to secure the victory. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. doubled in the fourth inning before George Springer drove him home with the game's only run. Guerrero finished with two hits and showed more signs of breaking out, but Toronto managed only five hits overall. Can the Blue Jays produce a more complete offensive performance in the series finale?We'll also look back at a special afternoon at Rogers Centre, where the Blue Jays honoured the 1992 and 1993 World Series championship teams and unveiled a new statue commemorating Joe Carter's iconic walk-off home run.Looking ahead, Trey Yesavage takes the mound against Sean Burke in Game 3 of the series. Yesavage enters with a 4–4 record, a 3.72 ERA and 69 strikeouts over 75 innings. He'll be looking to bounce back after walking seven batters and throwing only 20 strikes over 1.2 innings against San Diego in his shortest outing of the season.Burke enters at 6–4 with a 3.41 ERA, 115 strikeouts and a 1.17 WHIP over 105.2 innings. Can the Blue Jays solve one of Chicago's most reliable starters, take the series and build some momentum before beginning a four-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays?Finally, with Toronto still seven games below .500 and the trade deadline rapidly approaching, is a series victory enough to keep the Blue Jays in the buyer conversation? Or does Ross Atkins need to see an extended winning streak before committing to this roster?We finish with Dan's picks presented by bet365.LIVE every game day one hour before first pitch right here on the Blue Jays Nation YouTube channel and on Instagram @BlueJaysNation.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Flight Deck.Thanks to our partners:bet365: http://www.bet365.caTable Fare + Social: https://www.tablefoodhall.com/#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB #BlueJaysNation #FlightDeck Hosted on Acast.

The Blue Jays opened the second half of the season with one of their most disappointing performances of the year, falling 12–4 to the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. Toronto has now lost three straight games, sits at 45–52 and is 3.5 games back of the final AL Wild Card spot.On game preview 98 of Flight Deck, hosted by Dan Riccio, we break down another rough night for the Blue Jays' pitching staff. Spencer Miles allowed six runs on six hits over four-plus innings, including five runs in the second inning, as Toronto found itself facing another massive early deficit. How concerning was the team's first performance coming out of the All-Star break?The offence showed some power but was unable to create a sustained rally. Luis Urías, George Springer and Brandon Valenzuela each hit solo home runs, but Toronto finished with only seven hits and never seriously threatened to get back into the game. Can the Blue Jays turn those individual flashes of power into a more complete offensive performance?Unfortunately, things only got worse for the pitching staff as the game continued. Chicago added three runs in the fifth before exploding for five more in the seventh, led by Braden Montgomery's bases-clearing triple. Montgomery finished with four RBIs, Colson Montgomery drove in three and Sam Antonacci added a two-run home run. We'll discuss why Toronto has struggled so badly against a White Sox team that has now beaten the Blue Jays in all four meetings this season.Looking ahead, Shane Bieber takes the mound against Davis Martin in Game 2 of the series. Bieber enters with an 0–1 record and a 7.64 ERA, while Martin is 9–4 with a 3.41 ERA and 92 strikeouts. Martin has struggled recently despite his strong season totals, posting a 6.34 ERA across his last seven starts. Can Bieber build off a better outing against San Diego, earn his first win of the season and finally stop Chicago's dominance?Finally, with Toronto now sitting seven games below .500 and the trade deadline rapidly approaching, how much pressure is on the Blue Jays to turn things around immediately? At only 3.5 games outside of a playoff spot, can Ross Atkins still justify adding to this roster, or is the organization getting closer to becoming a seller?We finish with Dan's picks presented by bet365.LIVE every game day one hour before first pitch right here on the Blue Jays Nation YouTube channel and on Instagram @BlueJaysNation.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Flight Deck.Thanks to our partners:bet365: http://www.bet365.caTable Fare + Social: https://www.tablefoodhall.com/#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB #BlueJaysNation #FlightDeck Hosted on Acast.

Daniele Franceschi and Zack Bodenstein kick off this episode with a look ahead to tonight's MLB All-Star Game. They dive into the atmosphere at Citizens Bank Park, Dylan Cease's start for the American League, Ernie Clement rounding out the batting order, and John Schneider adding fuel to the fire of the Yankees-Blue Jays rivalry. Later, the guys present their first half Blue Jays awards including MVP, biggest surprise, and the "Robbie Ray award" for biggest second half resurgence. Next, MLB Network insider Jon Morosi stops by to share his takeaways from the Home Run Derby, Philadelphia as a host city, and if Toronto's renovated ballpark could attract future the All-Star festivities. Jon also details his Blue Jays first half takeaways, before projecting the MLB trade deadline with thoughts on the impact of ongoing labour disputes and a tight AL Wild Card race on the market. The guys wrap up the hour with a preview of today's World Cup semi-final matchup between France and Spain! The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Toronto has won three straight games, sits just 1.5 games back of the final AL Wild Card spot, and is beginning to make the race toward the trade deadline a whole lot more interesting. On game preview 95 of Flight Deck, hosted by Cody Gaudreault, we break down another impressive Blue Jays victory, headlined by Kazuma Okamoto's historic night. The rookie slugger tied Shohei Ohtani's record for the most home runs by a Japanese-born rookie, while also setting a new Blue Jays rookie franchise record. Is Okamoto putting together one of the greatest rookie seasons in franchise history? We'll also discuss another encouraging outing from Shane Bieber. While he's still searching for his best form, Toronto's bullpen once again slammed the door, continuing what's become one of the club's biggest strengths this season. Looking ahead, Trey Yesavage takes the mound against Walker Buehler in the series finale. We'll dive into what's changed for Yesavage this season, why his splitter hasn't been nearly as dominant as it was in 2025, and what adjustments could unlock another level for the young right-hander. Finally, is this team forcing Ross Atkins to become a buyer at the trade deadline? And the Blue Jays selecting Cole Carlon with the 39th overall pick in the MLB Draft. We finish with Cody's picks presented by bet365. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Toronto's three-game winning streak came to an end in chaotic fashion Saturday night, as the Blue Jays fell 8–7 to the San Diego Padres. Despite the loss, Toronto remains just 1.5 games back of the final AL Wild Card spot with one game remaining before the All-Star break. On game preview 96 of Flight Deck, hosted by Cody Gaudreault, we break down a frustrating night for the Blue Jays' pitching staff. Toronto issued 11 walks, including seven from Trey Yesavage in just 1.2 innings, as neither team's starting pitcher made it through the second inning. How concerned should the Blue Jays be about Yesavage's command moving forward? The offence did everything it could to keep Toronto in the game. Jonatan Clase launched a two-run home run, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. tied the game with a massive three-run shot in the sixth inning. Could this be the performance that finally helps Guerrero break out of his extended slump? Unfortunately, the tie did not last long. Ty France answered with a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth, and the Padres held on to even the series. We'll discuss Toronto's inability to complete the comeback and whether the pitching staff wasted one of the offence's strongest performances of the season. Looking ahead, Kevin Gausman takes the mound against Germán Márquez in the rubber match. Gausman enters with a 4–8 record and a 4.32 ERA, while Márquez is 4–2 with a 5.02 ERA. Can Gausman steady the pitching staff, rescue the series and send the Blue Jays into the All-Star break with some momentum? Finally, with Toronto sitting at 45–50 but still only 1.5 games outside of a playoff spot, what will this final game of the first half mean for Ross Atkins and the club's approach ahead of the trade deadline?

The Red Sox have won six in a row and are all of a sudden back in the AL Wild Card race as the team can't stop winning. Is it time to start believing in the Red Sox again?

Toronto was blown out 11-0 by the Seattle Mariners, falling to 42-47 on the season and slipping 2.5 games behind the final AL Wild Card spot. After being swept by the Rangers just over a week ago, is that series becoming the turning point that ultimately defines the Blue Jays' season? On game preview 90 of Flight Deck, hosted by Dan Riccio, he breaks down another disappointing loss and ask the biggest question facing this team: Are the Blue Jays still buyers at the trade deadline? We'll discuss Shane Bieber's difficult outing, the growing concerns surrounding Toronto's starting rotation, and whether the Blue Jays have enough reliable arms to realistically compete for a playoff spot. Outside of Dylan Cease, Trey Yesavage, and perhaps Kevin Gausman, who can this team truly trust? Dan also looks at an offense that continues to rank near the bottom of Major League Baseball in every major category. Is this simply a prolonged slump, or are the Blue Jays showing us exactly who they are? Looking ahead, Trey Yesavage gets the ball looking to continue his impressive rookie campaign against Emerson Hancock. Can Yesavage keep Toronto's season alive before a critical stretch leading into the All-Star break? Plus, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. withdraws from the All-Star Game to rest his back, while Ernie Clement, Dylan Cease, and Louis Varland will represent the Blue Jays in Philadelphia. With seven games remaining before the All-Star break, we'll debate what record Toronto needs over that stretch to justify buying at the deadline—or whether it's time to seriously consider selling.

The Blue Jays are starting to build some momentum. After a 2-0 win over the Seattle Mariners, Toronto has another opportunity to gain ground in the AL Wild Card race on the back of Shane Bieber, who continues to work his way back into form following his return from injury. On game preview 89 of Flight Deck, hosted by Sierra Pileggi and Nick Alberga, we break down another dominant outing from Dylan Cease, who continues to pitch like one of the best starters in the American League, and discuss whether he's becoming the ace this Blue Jays rotation desperately needed. We'll also dive into Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s night at the plate. While the box score was encouraging, is his approach finally starting to turn a corner, or are there still signs that something isn't quite right? The bullpen continues to be one of Toronto's biggest strengths, with Jeff Hoffman quietly putting together one of the best stretches of his Blue Jays career and Louis Varland remaining a perfect 18-for-18 in save opportunities. How sustainable has this late-inning dominance been? Looking ahead, Shane Bieber takes the mound against Logan Gilbert in a fascinating pitching matchup. We'll discuss what to expect from Bieber in his third start back, why Seattle's piggyback pitching strategy presents a unique challenge, and what the Blue Jays need to do offensively to secure another series win. Plus, all the latest injury updates, roster moves and news from around the league.

The 2024 season saw the New York Yankees go to the World Series and the Boston Red Sox fail to make the playoffs. One year later, the Red Sox have beaten the Yankees in eight of their ten matchups and lead the AL Wild Card race by a half game over the Yankees. Three of the Boston wins came this weekend as Boston took three of four from the Yankees in New York. The Yankees continue to have issues figuring out their lineup with an injured, but playing, Aaron Judge. Anthony Volpe also continues to struggle massively. Will the Yankees be able to survive this for a deep postseason run? How is the rest of the season going to shake out for the Red Sox? Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss both teams' seasons thus far and how they see them playing out the rest of the way.At the same time that all of this was happening, the Padres were hosting the Dodgers for another huge NL West series. Unlike their previous matchup, the Padres came out on the winning end and are now tied for the lead in the NL West. Los Angeles has the tiebreaker for the division, but with 31 games remaining, and the easiest schedule in baseball, the Padres have a real shot at the NL West crown. Jake and Jordan discuss what they saw out of each team and what they think the postseason may end up looking like. Those two series may have stolen the headlines, but there were also three sweeps this weekend as the Cubs, Rangers and Pirates all brought out their brooms. For the Pirates, that also included another impressive display from Paul Skenes as he threw seven scoreless innings and officially eliminated the Rockies from playoff contention. Through his first 50 starts, he now has an astonishing 2.02 career ERA. The guys marvel over Skenes and look at each of these sweeps.Plus, they go through every other series from the weekend and talk about what stood out to them. That includes Cal Raleigh reaching 49 home runs and setting an MLB record for home runs by a catcher. Might he break Judge's AL home run record? That feat may be in reach for the Mariners catcher. Jake and Jordan discuss this and everything else you may have missed from every series over the weekend. Start off your week with us here at Baseball Bar-B-Cast.  (1:06) - Red Sox take series over Yankees(20:43) - Padres take series over Dodgers(30:47) - Cubs, Rangers & Pirates sweep(45:48) - Mariners, Phillies & Mets series(59:07) - Turbo Mode(1:11:52) - What to watch this week   Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
