Beste Less Than Jays podcasts (2024)

We're feeling okay about the pitching, okay about the hitting, and okay with just about everything except the total inability for this team to sweep a series. Just go on a run, dammit! How hard can it be? (very hard)Door Less Than Jays

Incredible: The 2023 season has 170 games in it! It's just still going! Changing nothing has changed nothing! Can the Jays find a way to turn it around in the next .... 155 games?Door Less Than Jays

41* in 30: Dan Vogelbach w/Spencer 35:47

8M ago35:47

35:47

Surprise! One extra episode is on the way for you. Dan Vogelbach grabbed an Opening Day 40 man slot at the expense of Yosver Zulueta (who we all learned about for no reason!), so I brought in the notorious Spencer to break down an admittedly fairly basic caricature of a Type Of Guy that has always existed in baseball. The Big Sluggin DH. If you're …

Bo Bichette has continued to get better over his tenure as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays, adding more and more to his strengths while putting in the work to minimize his weaknesses. MLB dot com's Keegan Matheson joins the final episode of 40 in 30 to talk about the face of the Jays franchise.Door Less Than Jays

After two stellar seasons as the ace of the Blue Jays staff, Kevin Gausman is primed to continue to rise to the level of the game's elite pitchers. Old Reliable Andrew Stoeten stops by to look deeper at the best pitcher in the Jays rotation, and potentially one of the best in franchise history.Door Less Than Jays

1:27:27

We've got an extra couple guest episodes around so why not share them! In honour of Jose Berrios being named Opening Day starter The much maligned WhyJays / Mr. Baby / aka White Silk joins the show to take a closer look at La Makina, a model of pitching consistency that had an odd hiccup in 2022 but managed to bounce back to his old self with a ste…

40 in 30: George Springer w/BK 48:07

8M ago48:07

48:07

Anyone who remembers where they were when George Springer joined the Toronto Blue Jays also probably remembers that is was our friend BK live from the barber's chair as the one to break the news. Coming off a slightly disappointing season for Springer, BK takes up the mantle as a Springer Guy to look into the numbers and discover if there is any da…

40 in 30: Alejandro Kirk w/ Drew Fairservice 39:30

8M ago39:30

39:30

Alejandro Kirk experienced how quick a narrative can change in 2023, where a previous season's favourite ball of barrels and joy was replaced with a lack of power and some serious trouble adding value on the basepaths. A bat first prospect, he has developed into an excellent defensive catcher, but is the fall off in 2023 too much to bear or is ther…

40 in 30: Chris Bassitt w/Jonah Birenbaum 42:26

8M ago42:26

42:26

I love Chris Bassitt. This is a guy who represents what pitching is really all about to me. Endless tinkering, a curious mind, big-picture thinking, it's all part of the joy that comes with watching and analyzing Chris Bassitt. Fellow curious mind Jonah Birenbaum joins the show to talk about the Hound on the Mound.…

40 in 30: Daulton Varsho w/ Chris Black 32:38

8M ago32:38

32:38

Here's the thing: Daulton Varsho doesn't have to be that good to be really good. If you're in the mood to get talked into a rejuvenation year for Daulton Varsho in 2024, this is a good podcast to listen to. Chris Black (@DownToBlack) joins the show to look at what happened to cause so much trouble in 2023 and where a small improvement can go a long…

40 in 30 - Justin Turner w/Rob Wong 35:53

9M ago35:53

35:53

Finally, a new player! Well, an old player, actually. But a new Blue Jay! Justin Turner brings some veteran grit and Done It All savvy to a Jays lineup that seeks to replace the Adult In The Room vacated by Brandon Belt. Does he have another good year left in his bat, and are there things beyond quantifiable stats that can help this 2024 team win i…

40 in 30: Danny Jansen w/Scott Belford 44:38

9M ago44:38

44:38

We know him, we love him, we want to see more of him. Danny Jansen has been around the Blue Jays longer than Mark Shapiro. What could happen if he played a full season's worth of games? And what unmeasurables does he fill our hearts with? Scott Belford of the Walkoff Pod joins to get sentimental about the Jays de facto captain, and wonder what has …

40 in 30: Orelvis Martinez w/ Josh Goldberg 38:30

9M ago38:30

38:30

It's not all 45 FV when it comes to Toronto Blue Jays prospects. Orelvis Martinez is the closest thing the team has to a potential breakout bat in the minor leagues, a power swinger that has crushed the ball at every level and has shown recently that he is capable of making adjustments at every level to become better and better as he matures as a h…

40 in 30: Davis Schneider w/ Johnny Giunta 31:43

9M ago31:43

31:43

Davis Schneider exploded into the hearts and minds of Blue Jays fans in 2023 with an all-time great start to his career and some season-saving heroics when a desperate team needed them most. Unfortunately his season concluded with an equally ice-cold stretch, so how do we determine where the real Davis Schneider expectations should lie? Johnny Giun…

40 in 30: Yariel Rodriguez with Blake Murphy 41:21

9M ago41:21

41:21

The Blue Jays liked Yariel Rodriguez enough to give him a five-year contract this offseason, but few players on the roster have as many questions that can be asked about their role and reasonable expectation. What do the Jays see that results in them signing a deal with a player that skipped all of a prime year in 2023 to bet on themselves, and is …
