Toronto Blue Jays focused podcast. Hosted by comedians Scott Belford and Adam Mac, they interview people in the baseball world and follow MLB week to week
Okay I promise I won’t post another chart again after this lol but I had to post this one. It makes no sense & I don’t know why so many of you like listening to us two idiot comics talk Blue Jays baseball but thank you so much. Number
#1
baby!
My buddy’s Dad ran into JoRo in the Seattle airport and actually had the where with all to ask about his back!
Strait from Jordan’s mouth: “Already feeling way better, it’s going to be fine”
If there is one guy on this Blue Jays team that seems to be over looked by the rest of baseball as a true star it is Teoscar Hernandez.
He turned 29 this off season and is coming off a year with a WAR of 3.9 and All Star numbers across the board. 2022 WILL BE THE YEAR OF TEO!!
Up at 4am to get to Calgary airport for 6am flight. Winnipeg 9am. In rental car by 10am. Got 5 1/2 hours into the drive & petered out an hour outside of Minneapolis. Currently having beer in St Cloud prepping for a big game tomo! See ya in the afternoon Target Field ⚾️🏟️💥
So… the wife and I are headed to Minny tomo!
Said screw it. Bought flights to Winnipeg from Calgary (because it’s waaayyyy cheaper) tomorrow morning. Renting a car & driving there. Playoff baseball Cherry about to be popped and I’m ridiculously excited
GO BLUE JAYS GO!!!
I guarantee trading baseball cards with 10 year old Ross Atkins would of been a nightmare
Just a recess full of him telling you how much he really loves cards he already has
I just want to say right now Atkins should 100% still be fired despite getting a good return on Kikuchi. I’m glad the return was favourable of course but let’s not forget this team is selling during a deadline that they were suppose to be buyers 🤷♂️
Designer “What if instead of Blue Jays we use the same lettering but with Toronto”
Nike “because CITY Connect”
Designer “Yup! I designed the logo for the hit tv show Frazier. I’d like to just copy that but swap the Space needle for the CN tower”
Nike “Because it’s Toronto”💡
If the Dodgers still don’t win a World Series after MLB moved worlds to make it happen for them, that would just be objectively hilarious
To be given every single advantage and come up short, would that still be good for game? Jon Heyman will let us know
I grew up watching the jays finish the season 10 games over .500, and be 4th place in the AL East………
It’s hilarious to me that NOW, Yankees fans are calling for division realignment
BREAKING: every baseball reporter on the planet is stating every contender is interested in every available player and it’s annoying every single fan base
Ronald Acūna Rumours surface. Jays & Braves said to possibly make sense
Jays fans: Wonder if Bichette & prospects get that done?
Braves fans: It will take Bichette, Manoah, Teoscar & prospects plus all Jays fans must sign a paper saying the Braves are still being ripped off
Guys who took a year once coming to Canada to settle in:
1. Jose Berrios
2. Yusei Kikuchi
3. Dalton Varsho
Guys who slapped Canadas ass the second they landed
1. Robbie Ray
2. Chris Bassitt
3. Justin Turner
Hahaha just overheard a group of Pirates fans talking about what bullshit it is they need to play AL East teams 6 games in a row. Welcome to the real world Pittsburgh, try doing that for the entire month of September 🤦♂️
It’s the 2023 Blue Jays. It was always meant to go this way. Berrios revenge game and Bassitt redemption playoff game… it’s how the baseball gods want it 🤷♂️
Some believe “clutch” as an attribute doesn’t truly exist. The argument is over a big enough sample size it will all even out.
I, however, DO believe in “clutch”, that it takes a type to rise to the occasion & handle the pressure. Danny ‘big moment’ Jansen is that dude
Baseball is a cruel mistress when it comes to player development. Improvement is not linear. One guy on this Blue Jays roster with the mental acumen to take another step forward is Alek Manoah.
He handled his promotion to the bigs masterfully. Expect no sophomore slump in 2022!
7 Things that you just gotta love about todays game:
1. Jay Jackson’s Performance
2. Tim Mayzas insane fielding
3. Danny Jansen’s pick off
4. Yimi Garcia looking high leverage AF
5. HOLY SHIT DANNY JANSEN
6. The late innings run fests continue
7. Reminder to never get comfy 🤦♂️
In 1992 my favourite Blue Jay was Manny Lee. 10 year old me worshipped him.
He is from San Pedro de Marconis D.R (also known as the cradle of SS) and at the game last night I met his daughter Vanessa. I fan girled so hard over her Dad. She kept laughing at me. What a night!
HOW IS BOSTON AND BALTIMORE RUINING THIS SEASON??? I can’t get over how this team plays against them.
0-7 vs Boston
1-6 vs Baltimore
1-13 vs the two
Think how insane that is???
6-6 vs NYY & TB
38-20 vs everyone else
Let’s all take a breath and appreciate the game Jose Berrios just gave us.
Pitching after the team was no hit, up against the Astros Ace, knowing the offence could not be relied on… he was nails! The leadership of that performance alone gives 2024 hope

I was having beers with a buddy last night & we were trying to come up with craziest play we’ve seen from a Jays player… can anyone come up with a wilder moment than Chris Coghlan diving over top of Yadi??? This was what we settled on… but are we missing something?
Imagine the delusion involved to claim Manoah, Varsho or Jansen isn’t enough to score the worst defensive second baseman in the league who doesn’t hit for power or average in a one on one trade to a team with like 5 2nd basemen 🤦♂️
I’m having a beer with a bud who’s an A’s fan (I know… rough). The Donaldson trade came up. Then silence fell. Then he said:
“So, you worried Chapman will leave Toronto in free agency before the A’s can develop another All Star 3rd baseman you trade us nothing for?”
Me:😳😳😳
Friend of the show Kirby Snead just stopped me in the Seattle streets, pretty surreal (he pulled his mask down for the pic... being beard vain I took mine off so as to not mess it up 😂) Go Jays!
AL East fanbase temp checks:
Yankees: Optimistic but untrusting
Orioles: Busy watching 90 min doc about last years “success”
Rays: Gary & Trish are upset about Glasnow but are “used to this shit”
Jays: Riot gear is on, ready when signal is given
Red Sox: Rioting has started
In the last 9 games the Jays have played Tampa, Houston & NY to a 5-4 record. They are 3-3 on this 6 game road trip and head home to Toronto 13-9 on the season.
There are improvements to be made but this team in mid season form will be scary good!
Lourdes Gurriel Jr on a hot streak is the best player on this Blue Jays team.
Not a lot of players even on their hottest of streaks could say that. Lourdes will have a big 2022!!!
Well holy shit! Adam & I just spent the last 30 minutes interviewing Mark Shapiro 🤯
How two bozo comedians were given access to the President of the Blue Jays is beyond me but I’m literally giddy right now. 8 year old me would of said I was lying if I told him this happened
The reporter in this Ross Atkins presser that alluded Saturday’s loss would be more palatable had Tim Mayza publicly apologized is the funniest part of the conference so far
Blue Jays dingers:
Home runs after 44 games 2022: 48
Home runs after 44 games 2023: 47
The numbers just don’t back up the “home runs” are down crowd 🤷♂️

GM Ross Atkins 🤐🤐🤐
“Everything that we’re doing to make the team better, to the extent that we will keep private, we will do. Meetings that occur, don’t occur, I’m not going to get into the specifics of.”
It is still completely wild to me that I’m witnessing a star on the Blue Jays chasing the Triple Crown. This is something almost no fans get to experience. Thank you Vladdy 🙏🏼
I hate seeing people talk shit about Toronto like they know it. If you live in Toronto you know how special of a place it is and how passionate the people are

GAME 2! I’m changing everything! Didn’t have a beer till midway through game 1, I’m drinking now. Wore my Jays Hawaiian shirt, today going with the jersey! Didn’t get baked… currently baked. All the stops are out. If we go down in Game 164 I’m leaving no stone unturned
