The Blue Jays are coming off a frustratingly typical series sweep at the hands of the Rays in the dreaded Trop. And with nine games now separating them and the Yankees, plus eight-and-a-half between them and the Rays, we've reached the point where another AL East title may already be untenable. (FanGraphs has their odds down to just 1.5%).But the Jays' best baseball lies ahead. George Springer is already back in the lineup, Addison Barger will return against the Angels on the weekend, there's light at the tunnel for Shane Bieber, and Kazuma Okamoto and Myles Straw have had eye-opening stretches of late.Soon—and it can't come soon enough—we'll be watching a Jays team that looks a whole lot more like the one it was supposed to be. But the bottom of the roster is awfully thin, and some big decisions about who stays, who goes, and who's a flat-out bum.The vibes, in other words, are not so good.** FOR AN AD-FREE VERSION OF THIS—AND EVERY—EPISODE, PLUS WEEKLY BONUS SHOWS, FIND US AT patreon.com/BJHH ** Hosted on Acast.
