Locked On Blue Jays

We are working on some things folks. Until then, let's talk about MLB screwing things up some more!A.J. Andrews doesn't have much to talk about with the Blue Jays, so she turns to Tommy Pham's interview with USA Today's Bob Nightengale and lets the Padres outfielder do much of the talking. Pham didn't hold back on baseball's response to the virus, it's inability to pay players and the need for a new CBA, and the host agrees with a lot of it. Plus, an update on the sims to come to the network courtesy Out of the Park Baseball 21!Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!This episode is sponsored by Jays From the Couch, Withings, WealthSimple, Progressive and the Locked On Podcast Network.

This is a sad day. Not even kitteh co-host can help ease this one.She tried though. But then she left, and A.J. Andrews is left to discuss the reality of baseball postponing its regular season due to COVID-19. She talks about how this was the right call, and that despite the differences between MLB's reality and other sports, the threats are still there.There was baseball played today, and A.J. does analyze the performances of the Blue Jays in a 7-5 win over the Pirates. No one was perfect, not even Nate Pearson, but one player stood out and the host thinks that he might be able to offer a bit of relief in a position the Jays have had problems with should the need arise.Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!This episode is sponsored by Jays From the Couch, Bombas, WealthSimple and the Locked On Podcast Network.

We are going to be serious for the first little bit folks, so bare with us.A.J. Andrews has to hold off talking about actual sports to discuss whether or not sports will be played in the midst of the growing coronavirus pandemic. She reasons that games will likely go on, but they should be held behind closed doors and that athletes and fans alike should take things seriously unlike that idiot Rudy Gobert.Following that, she turns her attention the Blue Jays' 14-2 desecration of the Orioles in Florida. The host remarks how important it is that guys like Danny Jansen and Randal Grichuk are finding their swings early and that even in a meaningless game, its important to go out and play like the Jays did today with no mercy for their opponents.Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!This episode is sponsored by Jays From the Couch, Bombas, WealthSimple and the Locked On Podcast Network.

This is LOCKED ON BLUE JAYS! *boots a garbage can into a pit*There are now 300 episodes of Locked on Jays out in the ether. What a scary thought. A.J. Andrews reflects on her past century of shows, and how coming out has allowed her to take the show fully in the direction she wanted, transphobes be damned. She is very thankful for the fans and those who have shown support over the past eight months and allowed her to keep going.This was supposed to be a happy occasion, but then the announcement came down that MLB.tv was no longer allowed to carry Blue Jays games, and our host rips Rogers for a very short-sighted decision. The fans help her as well. Finally some of the best moments of the last two years as remembered by the fans. Yes, there were highlights. No, they weren't easy to find.Thanks to @MagneticTurtle9, @_Annetastic_, @EverythingGrich, @RayRay3322, @DerekStubbs14 and @LeafsRapsJays for their thoughts!Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @A_J_Andrews!Subscribe on Himalaya,
