Aren't you tired of baseball podcasts where the hosts are obviously smarter than you? Wouldn't it be nice if you could listen to a couple folks who admittedly aren't very bright at all so you could feel better and superior about your takes and level of knowledge while having some good times along the way? Well, you're in the right place. Less Than Jays. The People's Blue Jays podcast. From Jake Goldsbie & The Zubes comes a new show about the Toronto Blue Jays and life in general. Two weekly ...

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 …

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.
