    Ho Hum, Blue Jays Bats go Quiet As We Split Series Against Baltimore.

    The Baltimore Orioles might be the best team in baseball and at least in this series the Jays put up a good fight. We split the two game series including an extra inning win in game on and a blown save loss in game three, after game 2 got rained out, We welcome back co host Riley McConnell as we react to the series and ask the questions like: Is it time to move Romano out of the closers role? Is Bo Bichette breakout starting? and then we give some thougths to the rest of our offence and what Riley learned about our Blue Jays from afar.

    The more things change, the more things stay the same. The Blue Jays welcomed in the red hot Minnesota Twins into town and it went exactly like we thought it would. Twins take two out of three against the Blue Jays as they scored just 3 runs in the two losses. First we talk about what the plan is going to look like for the Jays in the rest of this season. Do we Retool and compete again in 2025? Hold and hope the guys get hot? Or Fire everyone and start the rebuild. We had three very interesting pitching performnaces this series. Kikuchi with his best start as a Blue Jay, Alek Manoah had his best start in a long long time and Gausman struggled against the Twins yet again. We also talk offence, including our thought on the Daniel Vogelbach expieriment, Vlads incredible hot streak and other players who have impressed us so far, After some injury updates we take a look at the Baltimore Orioles series and see if things can start to turn around.
