The Toronto Blue Jays drop the first game of the series to the Kansas City Royals 5-3.

The Blue Jays are running out of time to gain ground in the standings, and things aren’t going to get any easier as they just go...

This is the most important stretch of the Toronto Blue Jays season. Thirty games to prove that they belong in a playoff spot. One thing that unfortunately has not changed all year long is Vladimir Guerrero Jr’s offensive production.

The Toronto Blue Jays drop the second game of the series against the Tampa Bay Rays, losing 7-6 after being down big early on.

The Toronto Blue Jays finally have an off day, which gave us time to look at one of the biggest competitions in Major League Baseball: The AL Cy Young Race.

The Blue Jays were simply outmatched offensively, as they struggling to get runners on throughout the game. Max Scherzer had a great outing as he continued to build on his last two starts, but unfortunately you can’t win baseball games if you don’t score runs. In the big picture, the Blue Jays took three out of four from the Boston Red Sox and have played solid baseball over these past 2 weeks, but can they keep this mome...

This was an insane weekend of baseball. The Blue Jays were able to win the series against the Philadelphia Phillies, with two of the games going into extra innings. This weekend had everything you would want as a baseball fan with controversy, home runs, great defence mixed in with some great pitching.

This set the standard for this weekend of baseball, and gave us a ton to discuss. In...

However, the biggest story that has surfaced surrounding the Blue Jays is about Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and his outlook on the rest of the season. He points out what has went wrong for the Blue Jays so far this season...

The Toronto Blue Jays had a very chaotic  trade deadline, making six moves that changed the complexity of this organization.  The Blue Jays did a little bit of everything, as they bought for the future and sold a few of their expiring contracts, maximizing their return at all levels of the organization.

The Toronto Blue Jays have a few big decisions to make before Monday. The Trade Deadline is approaching quickly, forcing the hand of general managers around the league. The Blue Jays have a lot of people on expiring contracts, but also some controllable pieces they could get a haul for if they decide to trade them. The Blue Jays aren’t guaranteed sellers, and they could even look to buy players under control to reload their roster for next season. In this episode, we discuss our predictions for the trade deadline, which positions will be of focus for the Bl...

The Toronto Blue Jays have won their first series since July 8th, beating the Nationals in the rubber match 5-2. This was a fun baseball game to watch, as the Blue Jays had some luck go in their favour along with solid outings from players on both sides of the ball.

The Blue Jays lose the second game of the series to the Washington Nationals after one of the worst outings of Shane Bieber’s career. He could not find the strike zone, which is fairly important for a MLB pitcher to be effective. The timing could not have been worse with the trade deadline looming around the corner, as the Blue Jays continue to struggle on both sides of the ball. In this episode, we discuss the highlights and big storylines that arose from this game, while breaking down Shane Bieber’s outing and what this start means for his...

The Blue Jays have won their first game against the Washington Nationals!

Max Scherzer made his first start for the Blue Jays since June 10th, giving the Blue Jays a chance to win while increasing his trade value. The Blue Jays still sit five games back of a wildcard spot with the trade deadline rapidly approaching, as they are running out of time to make the decisions th...

The Blue Jays have lost another series before the trade deadline, as they dropped the rubber match on Sunday to lose two out of three against the Boston Red Sox. During the weekend, a quote surfaced from Vladimir Guerrero Jr which has gotten under the skin of some Blue Jays fans, especially with what has gone on this season. Dylan Cease has one of his best outings of the season as he continues to try to cement his case to win the American League Cy Young. There have been a ton of stories that developed over this weekend, as...

The Blue Jays were able to pull it off: they won one game out of four against the Tampa Bay Rays. This is how the Blue Jays win games. Their pitching has to be perfect, they need to use all of their high leverage bullpen arms and their offense produces just enough runs to put them over the top. The good news is Shane Bieber had a phenomenal outing, as the Blue Jays push closer to the trade deadline and are still figuring out if they want to be buyers or sellers. There’s a lot that will be ma...

The Blue Jays have lost once again, as they have officially lost the series against the Tampa Bay Rays, losing 5 of 6 since the all-star break.

In this episode, we break down all the highlights and lowlights from the third...

The Blue Jays lose once again to the Tampa Bay Rays, getting blown out 12-2. This was a very disappointing game, especially considering this could have been Kevin Gausman’s last start at the Rogers Centre. As per usual, nothing went right for the Blue Jays in this one, as it was clear who the better team was in all facets of the game. The downward slide continues as the Blue Jays lose more ground in the wildcat race, continuing to play a horrific brand of baseball. In this episode, we discuss all the shortcomings of this game, while re...

The Blue Jays get decimated by the Tampa Bay Rays as they lose the first game of the series 7-1. This was another tough game to watch, as the offense was only able to muster one run and the defense was abysmal.

We are getting to a point where we may have to accept what this season has been and what it is going to develop...

The Blue Jays have lost their first series after the All Star break to the Chicago White Sox. We were hoping things were going to be different after some time off, but the Blue Jays did what they have been doing all season long: underperforming in the batters box. They were only able to score five runs in the three game series. The Blue Jays are now 4.5 games back from a wildcard spot, pushing them into a position where they will be more likely to sell than buy at the trade deadline. They are running out of time, as...

The Blue Jays are in a difficult spot. They have not played good baseball all season long as they have failed to do the little things right. However, even with all the shortcomings, they sit only 2.5 games out of a wildcard spot. The front office wants this team to be good, the fans want this team to be good and most of all, the players want to play good baseball. This doesn’t happen with a snap of the fingers, a lot of things needs to change quickly if the Blue Jays want to keep this season alive and re...

The trade deadline is approaching quickly, and nobody knows whether the Blue Jays should be buyers or sellers this season. So much has gone wrong up to this point, but somehow, someway the Blue Jays still have an opportunity to turn this season around. These next two weeks will dictate what the Blue Jays will try to make of this season: whether they go on a crazy run to pull us back in or if this is one of those seasons that should be forgotten. In this episode, we discuss whether the Blue Jays should buy or sell, and...

The Blue Jays season has not played out the way they would have wanted.
