Locked On Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays sit at 10-9 after their first homestand of the season. With Kevin Kiermaier struggling at the plate to start the season, the Toronto Blue Jays are in need of another outfielder. Rumors are starting to go around linking Christian Yelich to the Toronto Blue Jays. We break down how realistic this is and what we might have to give up in return for Christian Yelich. The Blue Jays offense has turned their season around in this homestand, starting to find more consistency in their at-bats. We discuss who is hot and who is not at the plate, singling out players who need to be better for the Blue Jays, and giving credit where it is due to players who are performing well offensively. The Toronto Blue Jays go to San Diego for a weekend series against the Padres, looking to win their 4th consecutive series.

The Toronto Blue Jays lose the last game of the series in tough fashion against the New York Yankees, blowing a two-run lead in the top of the 9th inning. Daulton Varsho had a legacy game, going yard on two separate occasions, leading the Blue Jays charge offensively. Kevin Gausman struggled to find his footing in the first inning, loading the bases, but he found a way to work out of the jam and never looked back. Gausman’s velocity was back to normal standards, throwing the hardest pitch he’s thrown since August of last season. Erik Swanson struggled immensely in his first outing of the season, giving up 3 earned runs and blowing the Blue Jays ninth-inning lead. John Schneider made his first questionable decision of the year, throwing Erik Swanson to the wolves in high leverage after being injured for a month, instead of pitching Chad Green, who was pitching very well as the temporary closer before Jordan Romano and Erik Swanson returned to the lineup. Did John Schneider make the correct decision? We cover a

The Toronto Blue Jays hand the New York Yankees their first series loss of the season, holding onto a 5-4 win. This game had some of everything, from runs, errors, smart baserunning, and suspenseful endings, the Toronto Blue Jays put on a show Tuesday Night. Yusei Kikuchi continues to produce effective innings time and time again, only allowing one run against a tough Yankees lineup. Considering Danny Jansen dropped a throw from Davis Schneider, that run probably should not have scored anyway. Bo Bichette, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Ernie Clement all had some productive at-bats today, coming up with hits in clutch situations to help lead the Blue Jays to their victory. Jordan Romano, Erik Swanson, and Yimi Garcia all returned to the Blue Jays for today’s game, with Jordan Romano earning his first save of the season. The Toronto Blue Jays look to sweep the series against the Yankees tomorrow with Kevin Gausman on the mound, hoping to earn his first win of the season. Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vla

The Toronto Blue Jays get a huge divisional win against the New York Yankees and are above 500 for the first time of the season. The Hound of the Mound did what he does best again, giving up one run over six and a third innings of work. This offense is still a problem, having runners in scoring position with 0 outs for all the first three innings and only coming away with 3 runs. Chris Bassitt commented on the pitch clock and the pitching injuries, stating that the injuries are more on pitchers and team personnel than the pitch clock itself, which has had some interesting responses from fans around the league. Tim Mayza has struggled so far this season; we look to figure out the root cause of these struggles. The Blue Jays take on Carlos Rodon and the Yankees tomorrow in game 2 of the series, where the Toronto Blue Jays look to win their third series in a row.

The Toronto Blue Jays secure a much-needed series win against the Colorado Rockies. Kevin Gausman struggled in game one of the series. Having issues with the command once again. Yariel Rodriguez made his season debut on Saturday, showing Blue Jays fans flashes of what they can expect for his future with the Blue Jays. Rodriguez is still being worked up to a starter role, having limits on how many pitches he can throw in a single game. Justin Turner continued his hot start of the season with three more hits, as well as Jose Berrios shut the door in his start, pitching seven scoreless innings. The New York Yankees roll into the Rogers Center next for a three-game series. The Toronto Blue Jays look to go over 500 for the first time this season.

With the Toronto Blue Jays having an off day on Thursday, we decided to break down the Blue Jays pitching staff and their performances so far in 2024. The start to the season has been a whirlwind for this group, being plagued with injuries in the early weeks of the season. From Electrifying, dominant starts to huge blow ups, the Blue Jays pitching staff has given you a little bit of everything to start the season. We analyze individual performances, who is HOT and who is NOT, and what this pitching staff might look like in coming days with reinforcements on the way. As we head into a weekend series with the Colorado Rockies, we break down pitching matchups and our perspectives on how the weekend is going to unfold on this episode of Locked on Blue Jays.

The Toronto Blue Jays drop the final game of the series to the Seattle Mariners in extra innings, 6-1. Yusei Kikuchi was electric on the mound today, striking out 8 of the first 10 batters on his way to throwing 6 innings of one-run ball. The only source of Blue Jays' offense in today’s game was Vladimir Guererro Jr, smashing a baseball 459 feet off Logan Gilbert, sitting in the top 5 as one of the farthest home runs Vladdy has ever hit in his career. After the loss, Cal Raleigh called out John Schneider about his comments about Raleigh and the Mariner's offense last season. Cal Raleigh has always been a thorn in the Blue Jays side, hitting 9 home runs in 15 games against the Blue Jays. Was what Cal Raleigh said about John Schneider justified? Will John Schneider respond? How will this impact future games against the Seattle Mariners? Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer

The Toronto Blue Jays have won back-to-back games for the first time this season, taking the second game of the series against the Seattle Mariners 5-3. The Hound on the Mound got back to his dominant ways, throwing 6 and two-thirds innings of one-run ball, earning Bassitt his first quality start and win of the season. Bo Bichette launched his first home run of the season, smashing a low splitter into the left-center stands. Cavan Biggio and IKF also had productive days, each coming up with multiple hits against Mariners starter, George Kirby. The Toronto Blue Jays look for their first sweep of the season, and more importantly, continue to play well-rounded consistent baseball. Yusei Kikuchi will take the mound, looking to step on the throats of the Seattle Mariners and gain some momentum for this baseball team. Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris

The Toronto Blue Jays get a stellar day from Jose Berrios once again and take the first game of the series against the Seattle Mariners 5-2. This was a complete game from the offense and defense, getting solid production from the starting pitching, the bullpen, and the entire lineup. Davis Schneider continued his success at the plate with a crucial two run single in the bottom of the third inning. Every Blue Jay got a hit today, other than George Springer. This is key for the Toronto Blue Jays if they want to be a world series contender, they will need consistent production throughout the lineup. Will the Toronto Blue Jays continue to score runs throughout this series? What did the Blue Jays do differently in this game to get offensive production? We cover all this and more on this episode of Locked on Blue Jays.

The Toronto Blue Jays drop their second series in a row against the New York Yankees 2-1, ending the Blue Jays Road trip 4-6. This offense has been very underwhelming to start the season, hitting under 200 as a team through the first 10 games. Unfortunately, much of this series showed similarities to last season, with the Toronto Blue Jays lacking the ability to string hits together, hit with runners in scoring position and have timely hitting. The Toronto Blue Jays need to figure out how to drive runners in when they have the opportunities if they want to be a series contender in the MLB. Right now, they are sitting in the bottom third of the league in every offensive category. The Blue Jays look to win their first series of the year, hosting the Seattle Mariners in their home opener. Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Jus

The Toronto Blue Jays are not going to win many games scoring two runs over three games, while getting 1-hit and no-hit in two out of three of those games. This offense needs to switch something up. Whether it is new personnel in the lineup, a change in approach or just being better hitters, the Blue Jays need to score more runs. Toronto Blue Jays fans have the right to be frustrated, as this was the same problem this team was having last season, and it has somehow gotten worse to start the season. Things do not get any easier as the Blue Jays head to New York to take on the Yankees. The Yankees are coming off a 2-1 series win against the Diamondbacks and swept the Astros in a 4-game set 5 days before they are set to take on the Toronto Blue Jays. What do the Blue Jays need to do to get some more production offensively? Do the Blue Jays have enough talent on this roster to compete for a World Series? Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan

The Toronto Blue Jays drop the game and the series against the Houston Astros 8-0. The Blue Jays survive getting no-hit for a second time this series due to a Daulton Varsho double being the only hit of the ball game. The Blue Jays were outscored 19-2 in this series and were very lucky Davis Schneider saved the season with a 9th-inning homerun. We discuss what the issues are with the Toronto Blue Jays offense, how John Schneider has managed this team and how the Blue Jays performance was in this series, as well as players to watch for the rest of the season.

Davis Schneider saves the Toronto Blue Jays season with a 2-run home run in the top of the 9th inning. Schneider continues to break records, as that home run was the longest home run off a Josh Hader slider ever, hammering it 423 feet. Jose Berrios continues to be a huge asset for the Toronto Blue Jays, pitching a strong 6 innings and carving through this Houston Astros lineup. The Toronto Blue Jays are going to need to figure out their bats, as 2 runs in their last 18 innings is not going to provide this team with a lot of wins. The Blue Jays try to win the rubber match against the Astros tomorrow, with the Hound on the Mound, Chris Bassitt, pitching against Christian Javier. Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kine

The Toronto Blue Jays get no-hit by Ronel Blanco and the Houston Astros. After the Yankees beat up the Astros in the last 4 games, this is a tough pill to swallow for the Toronto Blue Jays. Bowden Francis got lit up by a pissed-off Astros lineup, going just over 5 innings and giving up 7 runs. The Blue Jays do the most Toronto Blue Jays thing ever and become the first team of 2024 to be no-hit. And now for the offensive highlights: George Springer walked twice. That is all. We did get to see IKF on the mound, where he gave Kevin Gausman a run for his money trying to secure the role as the Blue Jays ace. This rough offensive start to the season has Blue Jays fans worried that this might be a replica of our 2023 offensive season. The Toronto Blue Jays will look for revenge in tomorrow's game, with Jose Berrios on the bump facing off against Framber Valdez, another tough pitching matchup for this lineup.

The Toronto Blue Jays split the opening weekend series 2-2 with the Tampa Bay Rays. After an 8-2 win Thursday, Chris Bassitt was solid in his first start, but the stats would not back him up. Untimely errors and a lack of hitting cost the Toronto Blue Jays that game. In the third game of the series, Yusei Kikuchi put together a mediocre outing, but it did not matter, as the Toronto Blue Jay had flashbacks from 2023 and could not hit a baseball. The Jays did bounce back on Sunday led by performances by Kevin Gausman, Justin Turner and Mitch White. The Toronto Blue Jays head to Houston for a three-game series against the Astros, hoping to find some offensive consistency.

We provide 6 Toronto Blue Jays Hot takes for this team, from who will be an everyday player to how many home runs Blue Jays players will hit this season. Which hot takes can you see panning out this season? Which players will overachieve this season? Which players will not meet expectations? Kevin Gausman was absolutely electric in his first game back from injury, striking out 7 hitters in 3 innings of work.

Will Kevin Gausman pitch against the Houston Astros? Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jord

Ernie Clement, Davis Schneider and Daniel Vogelbach have earned their spots, while Spencer Horwitz and Nathen Lukes were sent down in corresponding moves.
