500 Level: A Blue Jays Podcast

The Blue Jays get 4 hits in the last two games of the Mariners series and score 2 runs in the series. Apparently this team is just a few games, few weeks, few swings from turning this season around. At least Vlad declined the all-star game... Hooray!

Yeah this team is not good right now. Not much else to say.

The Jays continue to find new ways to blow games, it is extremely frustrating. Back to 2 games under .500, hopefully they can beat up on Texas.

Powered by the Tartan Army, the Blue Jays finally sweep another series. Pitching comes up huge, Babe Schneider raking again, Vladdy has a pulse, we aren't back yet but we're getting close. Win a series at Wrigley and you're back at .500.

Well we are slowly starting to see players return to the roster. Game 1 against the Yankees saw Alejandro Kirk make his return, going 3-3 and powering the Blue Jays to a win. Louis Varland continues to be disgusting, Dylan Cease looked great in his return, Max Scherzer not so much... Lets get above .500 please.

After losing 4 in a row the Blue Jays win the series finale in Atlanta. Chad Dallas makes his debut and Mr. Vertigo Nathan Lukes continues to rake. Still treading water here, maybe were due for a Vlad power surge?

Welcome to the Jeff Hoffman experience folks! That was one of the worst meltdowns we've seen, and at least it was followed by only one freak injury! On the positive side though, a series split given the circumstances isn't too bad. Jays have a day off as they prepare for a brutal gauntlet of Braves-Orioles-Phillies.

Good news: Jays take 2 of 3 from the Pirates and beat up on Paul Skenes. Bad news: Jays have their two most important players (~$65 million) leave Game 3 with apparent injuries. Lets hope for the best possible outcome with Vlad and Cease. We are still treading water but .500 is in sight, onto the Marlins.

Well we asked for a split, and the Jays pitching staff managed to get the job done. A dominant outing from Trey and a perfectly executed bullpen game helped the Jays salvage 2 wins in the Bronx. Hopefully they carry that momentum into the weekend; please go easy on us, Mistah Skenes.

The Jays win a series in an attempt to make back the ground they lost to the Rays. Treading water is the best way to describe this team. They are, however, undefeated in the time Hudson has been in Detroit so maybe he should keep following the team to NY. Also Vladdy finally hits a ball hard and over the fence, could this be the start of something?

Well the Angels are certainly a baseball team... that was pretty fun to watch. Trey looks dominant thru an inning and then a bit shaky, but we'll take that. Vlad need to hit for power though. Also, we will not be talking about what happened at the trop.

Would you look at that, a few series wins and now things are starting to look a bit more manageable. A few games under .500 with this level of injury luck is completely respectable. Blue Jays head to the Trop to play 3 games against the Rays and their devil magic.

Last time Misha & Hudson recorded, the Jays swept the A's. They have not won a series since then... Whatever deal with the devil they signed last year to make the World Series, they are now paying for in bone and tendons. The Blue Jays did manage to salvage the last game of the Arizona series, so there's that. Let's keep some momentum going into Anaheim.

Jays lose 2 of 3 to the Twins, and Springer joins the lengthy injury list. Blow up starts from Lauer and Scherzer put them in a tough spot, and the lineup is too depleted to make up for it. Hopefully the road trip turns things around!

After the week from hell, the Blue Jays managed to win the final game of 3 against the defending champs. 5-7 with the off day tomorrow, hopefully this can spring a positive run. Twins in town this weekend! Time to unleash Patrick Corbin

The Jays are having a week from hell, losing 4 of 5 to the worst teams on earth. Kirk goes down, Heineman has a series for the ages, and Brendon Little leaves no doubt about his future. We are 4-4, figure it out.

Well that was definitely some baseball. The Blue Jays just lost a series to the Colorado Rockies, dropping them to 4-2 on the season. Ponce goes down, the bats go cold, and the Rockies battled all series. Let's hope the boys get back on track in the windy city!

Have you guys heard baseball is back? The Blue Jays definitely have with the way they've been playing. The boys return to the Dome for the first time since G7 of the World Series and pick up right where they left off. Gausman, Cease, and Lauer stun the A's lineup with 32 combined Ks. Kazuma Okamoto looks amazing. Vibes are high. Onto the Rockies.

The regular season is rapidly approaching so lets do some predictions! Also the WBC is in full swing and goddamn does the Dominican Republic look good.

After a 12-year hiatus, NHL Players are back at the Olympics! Hudson and Joel recap the opening games for Canada, while breaking down the line combinations and looking forward to the remaining rounds. Gold or Bust!

Baseball has returned, and so have we. Everyone is in the best shape of their life, expectations are high, and rumours are winding down. The Jays make a splash by acquiring OF Jesus Sanchez from the Astros for Joey Loperfido... Also, Santander waited until spring to get season-ending surgery. Let's win some spring training games.

Hudson recaps the crazy weekend of NFL Playoff games, updates the status of Josh Allen's legacy, and previews next weekend's championship games. We also touch on the state of the Jays' roster with Spring Training right around the corner.

Both watch is over, as the Jays have missed out on Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette. With Tucker in LA and Bo in New York, the Jays front office has a few weeks to pivot before the season starts. Does Ross have something up his sleeve?

Still in offseason mode. Jays sign Kaz Okamoto, which may not bode well for Bo. It's nice to be spending though. Tucker watch.

Hudson and Joel break down Team Canada's Roster Announcement for the upcoming Olympics, before touching on the Leafs season and the Jays Offseason plans!
