Jori Negin-Shecter (@JNeginShecter) and Zach Worden (@Worden_Zach) are joined by Blue Jays Nation's Thomas Hall (@Hall_Thomas_) to break down the Toronto Blue Jays' series win over the New York Yankees, Dylan Cease's Cy Young case, Ricky Tiedemann's MLB debut, the AL Wild Card race and much more.
The Blue Jays just keep finding ways to win. Toronto took down the New York Yankees 4-1 on Saturday afternoon to clinch another series victory, improving to 61-64 and moving to just half a game back of the final AL Wild Card spot. The Jays have now won 13 of their last 19 games as this once-unlikely playoff push continues to become very real.On game 126 preview of Flight Deck, Dan Riccio breaks down another gutsy Blue Jays victory and the continued impact of Toronto's young players. Charles McAdoo stepped into Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s spot at first base and delivered when it mattered most, ripping the go-ahead RBI double in the seventh inning before adding another RBI single in the eighth.Dan will also get into the long-awaited MLB debut of Ricky Tiedemann. The former top prospect entered behind opener Braydon Fisher and worked 1.2 innings, allowing one run while striking out two. Toronto used seven pitchers in the bullpen game, holding the Yankees to just four hits before Louis Varland struck out the side in the ninth for his 28th save of the season.Of course, the biggest concern remains Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who has officially been placed on the 7-day concussion injured list following Friday night's collision at third base. With Vladdy unavailable, can players like McAdoo, Kazuma Okamoto and the rest of this young Blue Jays lineup continue to step up during the most important stretch of the season?Looking ahead, Dylan Cease takes the mound with a chance to complete the sweep. Cease enters at 7-5 with a 2.40 ERA and 191 strikeouts as he continues to build a legitimate AL Cy Young case. The Yankees have struggled badly offensively since the All-Star break, but Cease has had his own issues against New York throughout his career.The Yankees counter with Ryan Weathers, who enters at 5-7 with a 3.69 ERA and 136 strikeouts. Weathers has been one of baseball's hottest starters recently, allowing just two earned runs over his last four starts, but Toronto has hit him hard this season. Something has to give in what should be a fascinating pitching matchup.With Toronto already securing the series and now sitting just half a game outside of a playoff spot, can the Blue Jays finish off the Yankees, complete the sweep and continue their incredible climb up the Wild Card standings?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.

Sho Alli and Daniele Franceschi break down the Blue Jays' 4-1 win vs. the Yankees to win the series in Toronto! They take your calls and texts, and get right to the youth movement providing a spark in the huge win, including big swings from Charles McAdoo and Brett Bateman, great work behind the plate from Brandon Valenzuela, and get into the major league debut of Ricky Tiedemann - how did the much-anticipated Jays pitching prospect look? Plus, they get into the bullpen moves from John Schneider on a day the Yankees only managed one run, the bats grinding out results against a tough opponent in Cam Schlittler, and discuss the AL Wild Card field as the Jays ended this game tied for a playoff spot for the first time since the end of June.

The Blue Jays are suddenly right in the middle of the playoff race. Toronto picked up a massive 3-1 win over the New York Yankees on Friday night, improving to 60-64 and moving just one game back of the final AL Wild Card spot after winning 12 of its last 18 games.On game 125 preview of Flight Deck, Dan Riccio breaks down another huge Blue Jays victory, Shane Bieber's six innings of one-run baseball and Alejandro Kirk's clutch night at the plate. Kirk delivered the go-ahead RBI double in the sixth before adding some insurance with a solo home run in the eighth as Toronto continued its unlikely late-season push.But the win came with a major concern. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. exited the game after taking a knee to the head from Yankees shortstop George Lombard Jr. during a chaotic play at third base. Vladdy managed to get up and score the tying run, but left the game immediately afterward and is now going through concussion protocol. He is not in today's starting lineup as Toronto waits for more information on its franchise first baseman.Dan will also look at whether this Blue Jays team is beginning to find an identity at exactly the right time. Toronto has leaned on contact, defence, aggressive baserunning and a strong bullpen during this recent run, and suddenly every game feels like a playoff game with the Wild Card race tightening up.Looking ahead, Toronto will go with a bullpen game as Braydon Fisher gets the start, with Simeon Woods Richardson expected to be involved in some capacity. The Yankees counter with Cam Schlittler, one of the best pitchers in the American League this season. Schlittler enters at 10-6 with a 2.21 ERA and 182 strikeouts over 146.2 innings, but Toronto has had some success against him, as he is 0-2 with a 4.12 ERA in four career starts against the Blue Jays.We'll also discuss the first MLB call-up for Ricky Tiedemann, the former top Blue Jays prospect who has battled his way back after Tommy John surgery and could now become another weapon for Toronto's pitching staff down the stretch.With a win today, the Blue Jays can clinch the series against the Yankees and potentially move even closer to a Wild Card spot. Can Toronto keep this improbable playoff push alive without Vladdy in the lineup and find a way to solve one of the American League's best pitchers?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.

Toronto Blue Jays Spring Training & AL East OutlookToronto Blue Jays Front Office Do You Miss Alex Anthopoulos? - "Every freaking day."Anthopoulos and Beeston were more transparent & connected with fansAtkins is more of a spokesperson, while Shapiro makes the decisions.Blue Jays' High Payroll & Poor Roster ManagementPayroll is around $271M, making them the 5th highest-spending team.Despite spending, the team lacks major offseason upgrades.Concerns over failing to extend Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette.Luxury Tax & Future Uncertainty & Aging playersFuture of MLB's luxury tax and potential salary cap/floor in 2027.Rogers invested $300M in stadium renovations,Leadership shakeup could be imminent Pitching staff (e.g., Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassitt) is among oldest in MLB.George Springer and other key veterans are aging.Farm System Ranked around 23rd-24th in MLBThe team could face a major decline in 2026-2027 iTrade & Deadline ImplicationsIf Jays struggle by midseason, major trades (Guerrero, Bichette) could happen."It feels like a one-year prove-it-or-lose-it situation." Jays seemingly pursued top players like Shohei Ohtani & Juan Soto but didn't land them.Fanbase is already fed up with Shapiro & Atkins, especially after the 2023 playoff controversy (José Berríos decision).Bright Spots in Spring Training - Alan Roden (OF, Triple-A prospect)Discussion on Tampa Bay Rays Attendance and Team DevelopmentsExpects Better Attendance in 2025 in Tampa - highlighted the limited stadium capacity of around 15,000-16,000.Attendance fluctuates, it often spikes when teams like the Yankees come to town. Rays should take over George Steinbrenner Field in Tampa rather than remain in St. Petersburg or move to Ybor City.Blue Jays Roster Outlook newly acquired second baseman Andrés Giménez and veteran pitcher Max Scherzer, including Jeff Hoffman and Chad Green and the re-signing of Ryan Yarbrough.Brent Cardy expects a strong season from Bichette if he remains healthy.Bichette has a history of leading the league in hits and could do so again.Defensive ability at shortstop, though he may have some DH days.Bichette's bat speed decline in 2024, potentially linked to concussion issuesBichette is still a tough out and a crucial piece of the Blue Jays' success.Farm System ranked 24th - Notable prospects include:Jonatan Clase (expected to start in Buffalo).Addison Barger & Davis Schneider (potential minor league assignments).Kendry Rojas (high swing-and-miss potential, could be a future impact arm).Josh KasevichChad Dallas, Ricky Tiedemann, & Alek Manoah (injury setbacks affecting pitching depth).Jays' pitching has been depleted, requiring improvements in drafting and scouting.Catching Depth & Alejandro KirkExpected to play around 115-120 games.Backup options include Heineman, Bethancourt, and Phil Clarke.Kirk could be a 3 WAR player, with Guerrero Jr. potentially at 7-8 WAR, & Bichette at 4 WAR if healthy.Overall Blue Jays Expectations - Cardy predicts 83-84 winsFollow Mat on Blue Sky at https://bsky.app/profile/matgermain.bsky.social, Mark on Blue Sky at https://bsky.app/profile/baseballbizondeck.bsky.socialSpecial thanks to XTaKeRuX for the music “Rocking Forward

The broadcasters from the Buffalo Bisons, New Hampshire Fisher Cats, and Vancouver Canadians look back at the 2024 season in the Blue Jays minor league system. Pat Malacaro (triple-A Buffalo) leads off with host Tyler Zickel (high-A Vancouver) to talk about a Bisons season that did not turn out as expected, with the likes of Leo Jimenez and Addison Barger spending a lot of time in Toronto with the big league team, Orelvis Martinez serving a big part of the season on suspension, and pitchers Ricky Tiedemann and Chad Dallas finding themselves on the injured list. This forced the Bisons to adopt the "next-man-up mentality", exemplified by Alan Roden who struggled after being promoted from double-A before finishing very strong. Andrew Bash and Paxton Schultz solidified the Bisons' pitching, Will Robertson had a strong finish to a good bounceback year, and Payton Henry became a hero coming back from a horrific head injury, hearing loss, and the death of his brother. The 20th season of Fisher Cats baseball did not turn out the way the team wanted; however, Chris Jared and Bob Lipman (double-A New Hampshire) are excited about the return of some of the team and players coming up from Vancouver in 2025. Alan Roden and Josh Kasevich were noted as having made a huge impact at the level before their promotions to Buffalo, RJ Schreck, Charles McAdoo, and Yohendrick Pinango were fun to watch after their acquisitions at the trade deadline, former water polo player Johnathan Lavallee just shoved for the team down the stretch, and Eric Pardinho, who has lost the top-prospect shine, was a dominant reliever at double-A. Tyler and broadcasting partner Chris Georges (high-A Vancouver) were sad to see the Canadians' season ending with a walkoff hit-by-pitch in the Northwest League Championship, but they were proud to see the team keeping the series with the Spokane Indians relatively close given that Vancouver was 8-20 against that team during the regular season. Jace Bohrofen took a couple of months to adjust to professional baseball, but then blew up in the second half, including August in which he OPSed 1.055. After being signed out of independent baseball, Je'Von Ward made a big impact both at the plate and in the outfield for the C's, Jackson Hornung continued to hit all year despite his transition from catcher to first base to outfield, and Peyton Williams may have been too good for high-A. On the mound, Kendry Rojas and Lazaro Estrada were spicy punches, and Ryan Jennings' stuff and dumpster were things to behold. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
