Locked On Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays lost another game to the Texas Rangers, this game being the complete opposite of what we witnessed on Tuesday. The Blue Jays were only able to muster five hits, as Cody Bradford was able to keep hitters off balance all night long with his fastball-changeup combination. Bowden Francis unfortunately took the loss in a great outing, with his only blemish being a home run given to Adolis Garcia. With all the trades at the trade deadline, there is one that seems to be severely underrated by Blue Jays fans. In this episode, we break down one player acquired at the trade deadline and his performance on the Blue Jays thus far. Will this player be on the Blue Jays major league roster next season? We then cover the second game of the Blue Jays vs Rangers series, going over the highlights and player performances that stood out. Also, what happened to Bo Bichette? We will review all this and more on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays. Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, B

The Toronto Blue Jays had a wild game against the Texas Rangers, as the teams combined for twenty-one runs. Unfortunately, the Blue Jays could not come out on top, dropping the game 13-8 due to a pitching meltdown across the board. Chris Bassitt was not able to locate the ball and made a costly error, while the bullpen did not do much better in their effort, giving up six runs over their five and a third innings of relief. There was a mirage of roster moves before this game, as Bo Bichette and Steward Berroa were promoted to the Blue Jays, while Daulton Varsho and Will Wagner were both placed on IL, ending their season. In this episode, we break down the roster moves and how this will affect the Blue Jays blueprint for the future, as well as analyze the highlights and big moments of the first game of the series against the Texas Rangers.

Kevin Gausman has not had the season that he would have wanted in 2024. With injuries and an abnormal spring training, Gausman struggled to find consistency this season after being in the top five of AL Cy Young voting in 2023. With the Blue Jays having one of their final off days of the season, we decided to break down Kevin Gausman’s season, going over his spring training, the highs and lows of the season, and what exactly went wrong during his 2024 campaign. In this episode, we break down Gausman’s most recent start against the St Louis Cardinals, analyzing his pitch mix, his availability and anything else that could have contributed to an underwhelming season from the Blue Jays’ ace. To end things, we welcome back a familiar face to the Blue Jays as the Jays have made some moves with Alejandro Kirk heading to the IL, as well as previewing the upcoming series against the Texas Rangers.

The Toronto Blue Jays played excellent baseball this weekend, sweeping the St Louis Cardinals in a 3-game series.

This series sweep makes this the fifth series the Jays have swept so far this season.

The Toronto Blue Jays bullpen has arguably been worse this season than the Blue Jays bullpen in 2021. That is not a comparison that any baseball team wants to be a part of. With a season riddled with injuries, underperforming players, and simply a lack of addressing needs, the plan for the bullpen failed miserably in 2024. With the bullpen’s inconsistencies, we decided to break down which players currently in the Blue Jays bullpen we would feel confident seeing pitching out of the bullpen for the 2025 season. Who are we most confident in? Who has the potential to be effective in 2025? To wrap things up, we preview the series against the St Louis Cardinals and give you our overall thoughts on the construction of the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen.

The Toronto Blue Jays found a new way to lose another baseball game, as they had a no-hitter going into the 9th inning, but found a way to lose the game 6-2. Bowden Francis took a no-hit bid into the 9th inning for the second time in his last four games, ending with a solo shot to lead off the ninth inning once again. Once he was pulled, Chad Green could not find his command and found a way to lose the lead, with all this being capped off by a first-pitch home run off Genesis Cabrera. With another electric start from Francis, we are beginning to talk about where he could find himself with the Blue Jays for the start of the season and beyond. Is Bowden Francis the best pitcher on the Blue Jays? In this episode, we will do a full Bowden Francis breakdown and outline what he has changed to allow himself to find success, while also analyzing the last game of the Mets and Blue Jays series, covering all of the highlights, storylines and updates surrounding your Toronto Blue Jays.

The Toronto Blue Jays win the second game of the series against the Mets 6-2. Chris Bassitt had a stellar performance against his old team, only giving up one run over six innings after getting beat up by the Phillies in his last start. Davis Schneider has a massive two-run triple in this game, propelling the Blue Jays offense and giving them the momentum to take control of the game from then on. Everyone contributed in this game, as every single Blue Jay had got on base by the middle of the third inning. In this episode, we break down the second game from the Mets and Blue Jays series, focusing on individual player performances and the big plays from Tuesday’s win. We then focus on a few players who have had *SHOCKING* streaks as of late, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses as well as their role with the Toronto Blue Jays at this point and beyond.

The Toronto Blue Jays drop the series against the Atlanta Braves 2-1, losing the rubber match in extra innings. While this does help with the Blue Jays in their ability to tank for a better draft pick, it is not fun watching this baseball team throw away games that they have excellent chances of winning. The defense was an issue with the Blue Jays in game 3, as the infield had some mishaps that extended innings and gave the Braves free chances at clawing back into the game. Spencer Horwitz had a legacy game on Saturday, belting two home runs and cashing in for 11 total bases on the day. To end things, we discuss Jordan Romano and updates regarding his rehab, bringing light to his state, and when we can expect him to pitch for the Blue Jays again.

The Toronto Blue Jays lost the series to the Philadelphia Phillies as they dropped the second game of the series 4-2. Kyle Schwarber could not be stopped in this series. He hit four home runs, had 21 total bases and was the prime source of run production for the Phillies over this stretch. With this performance, we decided to go back in time to 2022 to discuss when Schwarber was almost a Blue Jay, and how his presence would have changed the trajectory of what present-day Toronto Blue Jay baseball has become.

The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Angels once again, and this game ended 5-3 in favor of the Blue Jays. This was an interesting win as Ryan Yarbrough pitched 5 innings of scoreless baseball, allowing the starting pitching to get a rest while keeping the offense invested in their at-bats.
