🎧BJHH: 179 - On Top of the World
Or, at least, the AL East
Your paid support makes independent, thoughtful, grass-fed, naturally raised, free-range coverage of Toronto Blue Jays baseball possible. Thank you.
The Blue Jays sit atop the AL East in the month of July for the first time since 2016 and therefore, I’d venture to guess, likely for just the second time since 1993. Yankees fans, when they’re not eating donuts and busting subway fare evaders while giving the most vicious white collar criminals in the universe a free pass, can cry and cry all they want about that not being reason to celebrate, not a single Jays fan could possibly care.
Tell it to your whore wife! I’M WALKING HERE!
Uh, which is to say: things are pretty good with the Blue Jays right now!
And this week we talked all about, starting with an extended vibe check, before moving on into all sorts of good stuff like Friday’s game being broadcast exclusively on (ugh) Apple TV+, the club’s recent roster churn, the Davis Schneider hype train, Vlad’s future legacy, and a whole lot more!
So have a listen by finding Blue Jays Happy Hour on your podcast app of choice—Apple, Spotify, etc.—and be sure to like, subscribe, rate, review, etc.
AND! As always, if you’re a paid subscriber to the site here, and you’re not so into listening to podcasts, you can check out a transcript of the episode at the bottom of this post.*
*(An unedited transcript that is, which… if you check it out I think you’ll immediately see exactly why I’m choosing not to deal with cleaning up that mess. But I think it’s legible enough that you’ll get the gist, should for some reason you want it.)
