Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 4-3 loss to the Phillies to wrap up the two-game series. They take your calls and texts, and they discuss the bullpen's pitch selection late in this one, from guys like Yimi Garcia, Jordan Romano, and Adam Cimber. Were there other arms they should have leaned on? They get into the play of Teoscar Hernandez and a particular swing decision late in the game - what was he thinking there? Plus, a chat on Bo Bichette's defensive play at shortstop, and thoughts on the start from Kevin Gausman. 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.

Blue Jays TV play-by-play voice Dan Shulman joins Blake Murphy to discuss Aaron Judge's pursuit of making history, John Schneider's decision to let Adam Cimber pitch over Anthony Bass in the 10th inning during Wednesday's loss to the Phillies, why Matt Gage has not been called up from the Minors, how the Jays' starting rotation in Tampa Bay could dictate their approach to the upcoming Yankees series, and if Mitch White is in consideration for the playoff roster (04:40). The Athletic's Kaitlyn McGrath jumps on to lay her case for the 2022 Blue Jays MVP, who'd she choose between Kevin Gausman or Alek Manoah, if we should contemplate giving the award to a position player, and if there are any concerns with Jordan Romano blowing back-to-back saves (30:18). MLB.com's Mike Petriello weighs in on the Jays decreasing their usage of the shift behind Gausman, if it has a positive effect, and how he would utilize both Alejandro Kirk and Danny Jansen in a post-season lineup (51:03). To wrap up, Robert Orr of Baseball Prospectus stops by to chat about how Bo Bichette brought back the power in his batting approach, how Vlad Jr. can add Bo's improvement into his game, and Judge's historic home run chase this season (01:14:03). 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.

Blake Murphy returns and is joined by Sportsnet's Chris Black and Joe Siddall to break down how Ross Stripling has cemented himself into a consistent role within the starting rotation, his success getting into early favourable counts, the Jays' adjustment in choosing when to shift, and how a hitter approaches their at-bats when the defence shifts (02:18). Doug Fox of Future Blue Jays takes a tour around the minor leagues in the Jays' system including the promotion for both Yosver Zulueta and Addison Barger, if there's been progress in Nate Pearson's rehab, and why he named Ricky Tiedemann as the Jays system Pitcher of the Year (31:49). Then, FanGraphs' Jay Jaffe weighs in on when Aaron Judge could break Roger Maris' AL home run record, why Kevin Gausman isn't part of the Cy Young conversation, and debates if he would rather prioritize fighting for home field advantage or lining up a proper starting rotation for the playoffs (51:21). Finally, Alex Coffey of the Philadelphia Inquirer chats about the Phillies' playoff race, their strong offence in the month of September, and who will make their final roster (01:14:30). 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.

The San Francisco Giants will enter the offseason motivated to fix what went wrong in 2022. They'll have money to spend and talent on which to spend it. Which of the free-agent shortstops will the SF Giants prioritize? Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, Carlos Correa, and Dansby Swanson all figure to hit the open market (Bogaerts and Correa have opt-outs that will need to be exercised first). The Giants really can't go wrong with this group of players, but the priorities should be one of Turner, Bogaerts, and Correa. Not only are these three able to impact the game defensively, but they're also middle-of-the-order bats. Was 2021 the aberration or was 2022 the aberration? The boring answer is that neither was an aberration. The Giants got what they deserved in 2021 and they've deserved their record in 2022 as well. The issue appears to be that the 2021 performance was not sustainable; so in a way, last year was more of an aberration than this year. But they got legitimately great performances out of many players last year, and a lot of those players have regressed and gotten older in 2022. The Giants will need to upgrade their team in the offseason if they hope to contend in 2023. Why aren't the SF Giants linked to Justin Verlander more often? He would make a lot of sense on a short-term deal but smart money would have him returning to Houston. Will the San Francisco Giants do what it takes to bring back Carlos Rodón? After what happened with Kevin Gausman last offseason (the Giants didn't make him an offer, per Gausman), it's not a safe assumption that they will pony up for Rodón. Short-term deals for pitchers may continue to be the Giants' preference, and there are options (Jacob deGrom, Verlander). Also discussed: do Giants chairman Greg Johnson's comments suggest the team is more interested in being a middling playoff team than a World Series contender? Who are four position players who won't be back on the Giants next season? Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

As I write this the Blue Jays have won their first two games in Texas and continue the process of burying the Baltimore Orioles and solidifying their place in the wild card picture with now less than a month to go before the playoffs begin. But amid the drama in the standings, there is drama brewing between the commissioner's office and the clubhouse. This week MLB announced a series of new rules to be implemented for next season — a pitch clock, limits to the number of pickoff throws a pitcher can make, banning infielders from shifting to the other side of second base, and larger bases — that have many players and fans up in arms. So, in addition to discussions of Bo Bichette's incredible streak, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Cavan Biggio, Kevin Gausman, Ross Stripling, José Berríos, and more, on this edition of Blue Jays Happy Hour we went in depth on what's changing, what and who it will affect, players' reactions, our though, *your* thoughts, and more.

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Texas Rangers MLB Pick Prediction 9/10/2022 by Tony T. Blue Jays at Rangers—Kevin Gausman to start for Toronto. Gausman in 26 starts has an ERA 3.12 with WHIP 1.24. The veteran fans 27.9% with 3.8% walks. Grounders 38.6% with limited home run damage. A FIP 2.17 suggests a drop in ERA based on his numbers.

The Toronto Blue Jays are walking away from a massive four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles with three huge wins. They now sit 4.5 games up in the wildcard race with 26 games left in the season. Mark and Bryson discuss whether the Blue Jays just ended the Orioles postseason hopes, as well as some of the wild happenings in this series. What the hell was that balk call on Kevin Gausman? Why on earth was Bryan Baker so mad? Does Jeff Nelson deserve to be a major league umpire? Also discussed: Bo Bichette's wild night, the Blue Jays' updated playoff odds and series predictions for the Texas Rangers.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker examine the Blue Jays' 4-1 win over the Orioles, taking three of four from them on the road, highlighted by Alek Manoah's performance on the mound. The guys discuss how nothing spilled over after the tension in Tuesday's game and assess the Jays' schedule going forward with 26 games remaining. Sportsnet's Shi Davidi joins to comment on Toronto's recent stretch and who he would start in Game One of a playoff series: Kevin Gausman or Alek Manoah (33:04). 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.

Tonight I talk about the difference between an MVP and an MOP, the Kevin Gausman's balk, how to negotiate giving back a home run baseball, when Aaron Judge is going to break the home run record and the Rick Award nominees. Sit back, grab a few beers and let's get into 'er

On Monday in Baltimore the Blue Jays jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but ultimately suffered death by 1,000 cuts — another Mitch White implosion, a Yusei Kikuchi appearance, Alejandro Kirk's game-calling, an inopportune double play, more failure to take their chances, an utterly insane video-aided application of the blocking the plate rule, a ridiculous Rougned Odor slide, Trevor Richards — as the Orioles stormed back to score nine runs on just nine hits to win the third game of this four-game series by a score of 9-6. It was a frustrating affair, but not one without some fireworks — and I don't just mean Bo Bichette's fourth homer and seventh-through-tenth hits over the last two days. Still mad about a phantom ball call on Kevin Gausman on Monday night, the Blue Jays' bench appeared to be giving an earful to home plate umpire (and crew chief) Jeff Nelson all night about balls and strikes. Frankly, Nelson's calls didn't seem especially egregious from a Jays perspective but — perhaps taking a cue from their fans on Twitter, who seemed angrily through with White and incensed by the use of Kikuchi (even though it was a game following a doubleheader day in which the team's starter couldn't even get out of the third!) — the team was in a particularly ornery mood. Ultimately this tension boiled over in Nelson's ejection of manager John Schneider in the seventh, who got every penny of his money's worth as he made sure to animatedly berate the umpire directly to his face prior to his exit down the tunnel. But not before another, altogether weirder situation. Orioles reliever Bryan Baker, who was in the Jays organization from 2018 — when he was acquired from Colorado in the Seunghwan Oh trade — until being claimed by Baltimore on waivers last winter, sparked a bench-clearing incident after looking into the Jays dugout and jawing at his ex-teammates, and Teoscar Hernández in particular, after recording the final out of the top of the seventh — an inning in which he'd given up a run! (Albeit on a Hernández double play.) The typically mild-mannered Teoscar was especially angry, having to be restrained from approaching the Orioles' players during the brief (and relatively mild) melee. “I guess he was mad because yesterday I hit a homer,” Hernández told reporters afterwards. “Every time he pitches against us he tries to make a show, but I'm not even paying attention to whatever he says. When I hit the ground ball he's staring at me and saying, ‘Yeah, yeah,' like I don't know what happened. And then he strikes out Chapman and he turned into our dugout and started talking and pointing at me, saying that I was talking too much. But I wasn't talking. And then he started walking (toward our dugout) and I just reacted.” “I mean, when he was here we were actually cool,” Teoscar added. “But I guess he has something in his mind.” Other Blue Jays were slightly more blunt. “I don't think it was a Teo thing,” said Schneider — who showed impressive speed in being one of the first on the scene when Baker turned towards the third base side of the field. “I think it was Baker looking into our dugout like he has every time he's pitched against us since he wasn't part of our team, and I think our team reacted.” “I think guys were fed up with it,” he added.. “You can enjoy the moment, we understand that,” Vladimir Guerrero Jr. said. “If you strike out somebody you can celebrate. But when you stare at the person it's kind of disrespectful. I don't know, maybe you think you're a superhero or something. Whatever it is. But yeah, it does cross a line.” “We believe if you're looking at the dugout, you want problems,” he added. “You want us to react.” Some reasonable points there, though I suspect your mileage may vary depending on which team you support. Anyway, dumb game! Dumb game. Here's the podcast we did about it before all those quotes were reported. Big one coming up on Wednesday!!

With the Cubs series ongoing, Jeff and Kevin welcome analyst and former pitcher Jim Deshaies to the show to discuss Marcus Stroman's season to date as he gets ready to pitch opposite Kevin Gausman for his first start in Toronto since being dealt by the Blue Jays in 2019 (30:44). 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.

The Blue Jays completed a 6-1 road trip to New York and Boston with an absurd extra-innings victory at Fenway Park that saw them escape runner-on-third-with-no-outs situations in both the eighth and ninth, and overcome at least three examples of sloppy fielding, a 2-for-12 night with RISP, Kevin Gausman's continuing BABIP problems, a Trevor Richards appearance, and the Red Sox' attempt to lull them to sleep by having their relievers take 14 minutes between every pitch. They did so with guts, guile, impeccably executed strategy, Matt Chapman's incredible glove, and another terrific outing from the bullpen. Anthony Bass, Adam Cimber, Tim Mayza, and Jordan Romano combined for four innings of work — two of which were Romano's — that saw the team bend but not break, allowing five hits and two walks but no runs. The bulk of the night was not exactly a good advertisement for the game of baseball, but in the end it was thrilling, and a statement of intent. The Blue Jays are in win-at-all-costs mode, and on Thursday that gave them the edge. Well, that and a brilliant slice of base running from Cavan Biggio and, of course, George Springer. After the game we talked about all this, Chapman's flip play, the best Jays defensive plays of all time, John Gibbons' arrival on Twitter, Saturday's tantalizing Manoah-Ohtani matchup, the 30th annoversary of the 1992 World Series team, and more!

Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees MLB Pick Prediction 8/19/2022 by Tony T. Blue Jays at Yankees—Kevin Gausman starts for Toronto. Gausman started 22 games with an ERA 3.16 with WHIP 1.27. The veteran a strikeout rate of 27.7% with 4.1% walks. Ground balls sit at 38.6% with limited home run damage. A FIP of 2.07 suggests a drop in ERA if these numbers hold.

Is it bad juju or bad defense that's terrorizing Kevin Gausman? Drew and Kaitlyn chat about Gausman's odd spell, the Blue Jays and Guardians' offenses, Mitch White, and the Orioles series. Oh, and, of course, the Bradley Zimmer news breaks right after we record. Still, listen about JBJ!

We are down at Rogers Centre in the radio booth ahead of the Blue Jays / Orioles. Ben starts with Dan Shulman the TV voice of the Jays and they dig into the numbers in terms of the offensive numbers and they are above the MLB average in so many categories. Then a look back at Kevin Gausman yesterday and how unlucky he has been in his starts. Is it possible that the fans nerves about this team are a bit premature? Next up (23:00) our weekly chat with Jon Morosi and he gets right into the health of George Springer, starting at DH tonight and how he won't be returning to CF. That means Hernandez or Gurriel will be the odd man out. Then the concerns over Kikuchi, the Jays are stuck with him financially and now they are forced to keep trying to make it work. Finally a look at Tatis and the suspension for PEDs and then why Jon feels the Astros are the best team in the AL and the best pick to make the World Series. 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 affiliate.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays series loss to the Guardians – a three-game set where Toronto's bats went silent and Cleveland was able to find success against José Berríos and Kevin Gausman. As always on Monday, the guys examine how the Blue Jays' divisional opponents fared over the weekend in “In The East” (29:39); before commenting on the news that shook the baseball world over the weekend: Padres' star Fernando Tatis Jr. being suspended 80 games for PED use (42:05). 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.

They discuss the Toronto bats staying quiet again (four runs scored over three games) despite being one of the better offences in Major League Baseball, and the approaches at the plate as of late. They look back to Friday and Saturday's games as well, and take stock of the team heading into another series against the Orioles. 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.

The San Francisco Giants are stuck in the middle. From their 50-52 record to their half-hearted deadline, the SF Giants are in purgatory. They are neither awful nor great. They neither bought nor sold. This is the Giants' fourth year under Farhan Zaidi, and they have yet to make an aggressive move one way or the other. Sure, they've brought in some power arms who have turned out to be great, like Kevin Gausman and Carlos Rodón, but on the whole, the Giants haven't come close to putting together an exciting roster. They deserved the benefit of the doubt after winning 107 games last year, but trust in the front office has eroded after a disappointing 2022 season. The Giants' deadline moves are revisited, particularly their acquisition of J.D. Davis and three prospects from the New York Mets for Darin Ruf. Davis fits the Giants' roster better than Ruf turned out to fit, and significantly Davis appears to be an immediate and longer-term option at third base. David Villar hasn't been particularly effective at the plate or on the field for the Giants thus far, and Davis may take that role away from him. Villar can be optioned, but it's debatable whether the Giants should be taking playing time away from a rookie right now given their low playoff odds. Joey Bart's development is also discussed. The development of young players is a huge part of the rest of the season. Bart had a great game last night, homering and throwing another runner out on the bases. If the Giants aren't going to make the playoffs, watching players like Bart over the final two months will be among the most significant reasons to watch the Giants.
