The second half of Two for Tuesday, starts on a dark tone, but it gets better! I swear!A.J. Andrews faces the joyless task of trying to replace Tim Mayza in the 2020 Blue Jays bullpen following his Tommy John surgery.

Red-eyed already, it's a late night edition of the pod before an early flight! So quality is coming!A.J. Andrews sits bleary eyed ahead of her flight to Toronto and discusses the almost unworldly Trent Thornton outing on Wednesday against the Red Sox. The new curveball grip looked nasty, and Clay Buchholz's off-the-field influence alone may have earned him another contract based on his work with Butters.However, she also has to talk about tonight's game, and the abominable play that was on display. From Buchholz missing his pitches to Billy McKinney's misplays to Derek Fisher in general, it was horrid and the 7-4 scoreline was generous. A.J. vents hard.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, Postmates, BlueChew.com, and the Locked On Podcast Network.

The tripleheader is heading into the homestretch! We can smell the pizza from here!A.J. Andrews turns her attention to last night's 4-3 Blue Jays victory over the Red Sox and how Rowdy Tellez is straddling two different paths with the Blue Jays. It seems everyone wants him to follow one path, but can the slugger do it consistently? She also previews tonight's game with Trent Thornton getting a new look at a lineup with Wilmer Font opening, and how Jonathan Davis is being rewarded for consistent play (and putting Anthony Alford's future in doubt!)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, Postmates, BlueChew.com, and the Locked On Podcast Network.

The cream of the Oreo cookie that is today's tripleheader is coming at ya!A.J. Andrews continues her marathon levels of Blue Jays talk by holding her nose and discussing Steve Simmons' recent articles attacking the Blue Jays front office, specifially his most recent one disavowing them of credit for Bo Bichette. It smacks of disingenuous tones and while there are things to criticize the front office for, this is not one of them.Also, she discusses how Luke Maile is now out of a job. At least a catching job. That's because Reese McGuire has turned the catching situation into an outright platoon with Danny Jansen.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, Postmates, BlueChew.com, and the Locked On Podcast Network.
