We found him. Former big league pitcher Marco Estrada didn't make the varsity at Sylmar High until his senior year, but ended up a pro.  Cool stories about his journey and meeting Vin Scully.

We chat with former Blue Jay Marco Estrada. Marco became an All Star and fan favourite during his time in Toronto. We discuss his career, as well as whether or not he's begun to make plans for when his playing days officially come to a close. Along the way, we get pretty in-depth about everything from restaurants, to golf. Marco also fields questions from our OTP insiders, including 1 very special question all the way from Pakistan!

This Monday we hear from Marco Estrada! He shares from the book of Acts! Marco Estrada is a Senior Pastoral Ministries Major with a minor in Business Administration. He is from Federal Way, Washington Marco has always been passionate about serving in youth ministry. After graduation, he wants to pursue becoming a youth pastor, and start his own barbershop business.

Una entrevista con Marco Estrada, musico origniario de Huecorio y fundador del proyecto musical "Galter Show." Marco nos platica sobre los origenes de Galter Show, su inspiración, proyectos a futuro y los impactos de la pandemia en su quehacer musical. La entrada Galter Show se publicó primero en Radio Uekorheni.

Marco the magician joins Outta The Park. Where is Marco medically and how is he spending his extended off season? Cars, video games and reminiscing about the magic of 2015 are just some of the topics that Barry, Marco and Matt touch on. The First Pitch talks about when baseball opens up will you go to a game? Even if its deemed safe will you go? Matt and Barry debate the pros and cons of being scared. Matt tells a story about Fox Sports play by play guy and how he’s being sent “material” to help him keep his play by play skills sharp. Did Apple know about the pandemic years and years ago and invented FaceTime in advance of all this? Ask Barry Davis asks the question “Is the AL East wide open?” With all the injuries to starters in the AL East do the Jays have the best rotation in the AL East?

Alex Nolan re-joins us on Outta the Park! When did Alex release he had an aptitude for Baseball? The guys chat about ah-ha moments on the mound and Alex reveals what his moment was. Alex is a Marco Estrada fan and he makes no bones about it. “How does a kid from Burlington, going to high school in Arizona and attending University in Ontario get signed by the Jays?” “Nobody cares…work harder.” The guys talk about this. The Jaywalk pants have returned! The prodigal pants return and there is a story about where they have been. There is a grammatical error that sends Matt off on a tangent. Outs Above Average (OAA) is the new MLB Metric and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has not faired well in this metric’s rating. Can Vlad survive at 3rd? Ask Barry Davis talks about Barry’s best and worst birthday memories. The boys chat about homophobia and baseball and dive into Barry’s Grade 8 report card.

Former Blue Jay and fan favourite Marco Estrada joins Barry and Matt on Outta The Park. Marco talks about where he is at after being released by the Oakland Athletics. The guys talk about CBD and THC and how it relates to the majors. The First Pitch discusses Nate Pearson and whether he should be brought up when rosters expand in September. Matt and Barry discuss and disagree on what they think should be done. Does the fact that Nate Pearson is coming off a season in which he was injured for the majority of the campaign mean that he’s rested enough to come up to the bigs in September? Devon Travis looks to be non-tendered by the Blue Jays. The OTP guys discuss. The layoffs at Sportsnet are a topic of conversation. Speaking of Sportsnet, Ask Barry Davis features a question about said layoffs. Should the Jays go after Gerrit Cole? What would the stumbling blocks be?

Highlights from the A's 12-4 loss to the Orioles in Baltimore, along with quotes from Bob Melvin, Josh Phegley, Marco Estrada and Matt Chapman.

It's a tough episode of Locked on Blue Jays today, and if you're a fan, you'll know exactly why.Host Ryan Andrews starts with some stories from last night's game, including the hamstring issue that banished Lourdes Gurriel from the Battle of the Brothers with his sibling Yuli, and a solid performance from Richard Urena. Andrews also looks ahead and talks about Sean Reid-Foley making his final start of the season against the defending champions.The second segment sees Andrews start to discuss the reaction to Roberto Osuna's re-emergence for a save at Rogers Centre before news breaks that the Crown has dropped the case against him in favor of a one-year peace bond. The host is not happy with this turn of events, predictable as they were, and expresses frustration and anger at the result. They then thank the Blue Jays fans who were in attendance last night booing him, and the fans who shared their thoughts on social media.Andrews ends with a brief acknowledgement of Marco Estrada, who made likely his last start for the Blue Jays. The Nova Scotian discusses Estrada's place in Toronto history and how they will remember the Magician who started as a swingman but became a legend.Special thanks to @gsnap_abk6, @walshag, @tinakinmond, @DaveDivjak, @vbamber12 and @EverythingGrich for contributing!Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!Subscribe on Google Play and iTunes!This episode is sponsored by Vivid Seats, Locked on NFL and Locked on NBA.

Heading to the homestretch, literally, the Blue Jays are giving the host plenty of things to talk about!Ryan Andrews spends the first segment discussing the performances from the 2-1 Blue Jays loss to the Orioles on Sept. 19. The host gives credit to Marco Estrada for delivering a start that the veteran right-hander needed to restablish some value heading into an off-season where he will be looking for a deal. However, Luis Rivera has earned ire once again for a terrible attempt to convert a Kendrys Morales fourth-inning fly ball into a sac fly. There was no reason for Billy McKinney to run there, and Andrews makes it known how they feel about Rivera's tenure.Then, Andrews discusses Jerry Howarth's assertion that John Schneider would be his pick to manage the Blue Jays in 2019, citing Tampa Bay's Kevin Cash. Andrews agrees with the veteran radio man, particularly Schneider's ability to use the speed on his roster to greater effect than the big-league club.Finally, Andrews previews the series opener against Tampa Bay. The Nova Scotian points out what they think is on the line for Sam Gaviglio and what his role will be for the Blue Jays in 2019. Yes he will have a role. Andrews also expects to see some more bullpen arms getting run, particularly Taylor Guerrieri against his former club.Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!

It was a tough game to watch in parts but this podcast always tries to find the silver lining! Well, almost always.Ryan Andrews picks apart the Blue Jays' fourth-straight win, starting with a disappointing outing for Aaron Sanchez. Andrews laments Sanchez's inability to control his strike zone, but offers a hearty cheer for the work of the bullpen. Praise comes for Jake Petricka, who had his fastball bending like Beckham, Jose Fernandez, who is cementing a 2019 Opening Day roster spot, Tyler Clippard and Blue Jays folk hero Ken Giles.The second segment is dedicated to the disastrous defense that both teams played during the game. Billy McKinney gets some tough love for his efforts, but Andrews tempers it with praise for Lourdes Gurriel Jr. However, Jonathan Davis earns the host's ire for getting picked off of second base, and Andrews demands heads-up baserunning at all times.Finally, Andrews looks ahead to tonight's start in what could be the last hurrah for Marco Estrada. Given his likely final turn against the Astros, Estrada needs to make tonight count according to the Nova Scotian, who also offers up a partial tribute to the Magician and his legacy as a Blue Jays hero.Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!Subscribe on Google Play and iTunes!This episode is sponsored by Locked on Fantasy Football 24.7, and Locked on College.

The season is winding down for the Blue Jays but there is still plenty to celebrate and talk about!Ryan Andrews dives into the first of a couple days' worth of topics from the Blue Jays' triumphant series against the Yankees in the Bronx. The starting pitching, outside of Marco Estrada, was great, and the host compares what Sean Reid-Foley and Thomas Pannone were able to do in their starts against New York. The two will likely be battling for a rotation spot in March, and Andrews declares who they believe has the inside track.The second segment is dedicated to the legend that is Ken Giles. Andrews details how important the mercurial closer is for the Blue Jays and how he may be a better closer than the one the team traded. The fans agree and the Nova Scotian details how Giles can maintain his slot for the Blue Jays until they are contenders again.The podcast closes with a discussion of the least-likeliest name to appear in a segment all on his own. But Mark Leiter Jr. has thrust himself into the 2019 bullpen conversation with some flashes of brilliance against Boston and New York. Does Andrews think the waiver claimee has a chance to stick around past the end of the season?Special thanks to @Lesley_NOPE, @biggles14, @DSteciuk and @hallamaniac07 for sharing their thoughts!Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!Subscribe on Google Play and iTunes!This episode is sponsored by Locked on Fantasy Football 24.7, ZipRecruiter and Locked on College.

After a medical issue forced the shared observance of an off-day, host Ryan Andrews is back for another week of Blue Jays talk as the season winds towards its conclusion!Andrews leads a dissertation on the lessons learned from the Cleveland series, starting with everyone's favorite son Rowdy Tellez. Andrews examines where Rowdy's performance has put him on the Blue Jays map moving forward and what the club can do with him in 2019 given Justin Smoak and Kendrys Morales occupy his position.In the second segment, Andrews turns to the pitching and the starts that the Blue Jays delivered over the weekend. Marco Estrada was solid, but the Nova Scotian believes the Magician will need to put a couple more good shows together if he wants to reappear on the 2019 roster, then wonders if Thomas Pannone hasn't edged ahead of Sean Reid-Foley in the battle for a 2019 rotation slot.The final third is dedicated to the bullpen and a new strategy that the Blue Jays seem to be adapting from Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro's Cleveland days. With Taylor Guerrieri and David Paulino both working single innings in the series, Andrews wonders if this isn't a tactic to get longer arms in the Toronto bullpen to combat the durability and length issues that the team has seen sink their starters this year.Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!Subscribe on Google Play and iTunes!This episode is sponsored by Locked on Fantasy Football 24.7, ZipRecruiter and Locked on College.

Back from a Labor Day siesta, Ryan Andrews is put to work on today's Locked on Blue Jays episode!The host begins with a dissection of Marcus Stroman's blister issues and the reasons the nominal ace of the Blue Jays' staff was limited to 1 2/3 innings in his return from the DL. Andrews highlights the problems that Stroman has had in rushing himself back to action. When combined with Aaron Sanchez and his finger issues, the Nova Scotian paints a picture of a pair of starters who need to think about the future as opposed to just getting back on the mound.The second segment features another pair of Blue Jays starters trying to put themselves in the 2019 rotation. Andrews dismays at what has become of Marco Estrada and wonders what the change-up specialist has left in his tank going forward. Meanwhile, Sean Reid-Foley was dazzling in his third MLB start, and Andrews believes that this is closer to the real pitcher the Blue Jays have as opposed to his first two starts against Kansas City and New York.In the final segment, Andrews highlights Jonathan Davis, who appears to be on his way to Toronto to join the team, and picks out a couple more players who could join him. In addition, Andrews offers a prediction for who comes off the 40-man roster for Davis, and it does not look good for Dalton Pompey.Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!Subscribe on Google Play and iTunes!This episode is sponsored by Locked on Fantasy Football 24.7, For HIMS and Locked on College.

The Blue Jays talk comes hot, but the Jose Urena takes may be even hotter on today's episode!Host Ryan Andrews tears into the young Miami starter for his cowardly act in the game against Atlanta where he plunked Ronald Acuna and forced him from the game. Andrews makes it very clear that this is caveman baseball culture taken to the extreme and it has no place in the game, drawing the comparison to if a Baltimore pitcher plunked Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The Nova Scotia makes their case for a harsh punishment.In segment two, Andrews discusses Marco Estrada's pitching performance against the Royals and how it may impact his ability to pitch for a contender in September.In the final segment, the host praises Curtis Granderson for sparing another lackluster Blue Jays performance at the plate, and rips into the team for another bad send from third base and more issues with the bases loaded.Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!Subscribe on Google Play and iTunes!This episode is sponsored by ZipRecruiter and Locked on NFL.

Andrews pinpoints Borucki as a future Blue Jays stalwart and declares Ken Giles has the same potential to lock up the closer role, and that both men can be part of a future contender in Toronto. Andrews closes with a discussion of Joe Biagini and his problems with the long ball, and why sending him to Buffalo is not the solution.Thanks to @OldIdiots for their question and the conversation on Twitter!Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!Subscribe on Google Play and iTunes!

The host of Locked on Blue Jays is in the dark and it appears the Blue Jays are as well.Host Ryan Andrews battles through a planned power outage at the studio to try and shine some light on what happened in back-to-back 8-3 Blue Jays losses to the Red Sox. The focus is on the starting pitching as per usual, with Aaron Sanchez and Marco Estrada failing to deliver yet again.Andrews also shows some ire for the bullpen, taking Joe Biagini and Danny Barnes to task and wondering if the trips to Buffalo haven't eroded their confidence to the point of underperforming.The host also discusses the re-emergence of "caveman baseball" in the second game and how it doesn't serve the Blue Jays at all to engage in such tactics.The Nova Scotian tries to end with some positive notes about Kendrys Morales and Devon Travis, but comes around to the struggles of Kevin Pillar and sees the happy vibes disappear. Follow the podcast @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!  Learn more about your ad choices.
