BlueJaysPlus Podcast Episode 13: Zach Mortimer on Prospects and the Draft

We had a couple technical difficulties this week, as first, Ewan forgot to press record when he interviewed Eno Sarris of FanGraphs, and for some reason, part 1 of the podcast got messed up, and our voices are intertwined instead of one after another...I explain at the beginning of the episode. BUT, we still had a fantastic interview with Zach Mortimer, a scout for Baseball Prospectus, and we talked about the possibility of Casey Janssen being traded.  For now on I'm going to post an outline of the show so you can skip to parts you would like to listen to.

I sat this week out, so Ewan and Chris did the show. They interviewed Jason Wojciechowski to talk about the BioGenesis steroid scandal, specifically Melky Cabrera. Chris also weighs in with some fantastic mechanics talk about the draft, amongst other things. Oh,and there were lots of roster moves this week...in case you forgot that that happens every week with this ball club. Enjoy!

BlueJaysPlus Podcast Episode 10: Nolin, Gibbons, & an Interview with @CraigCalcaterra

It was a pretty eventful weekend in Blue Jays land as we saw a major league debut go sour, John Gibbons almost losing a game with his managing, and Munenori Kawasaki win a game(and give a fantastic interview afterwards). On this episode, our 10th, we talk about Sean Nolin's less than 2 innings of fame, John Gibbons and his managerial tactics, lineup construction, and we interview Craig Calcaterra of HardBallTalk to talk Braves. We hope you've enjoyed our first 10 episodes. As always, leave your comments below so we can continue improving. Thanks for listening!

BlueJaysPlus Podcast Episode 8: Featuring an Interview with Wendy Thurm(@hangingsliders)

So we didn't get around to recording the podcast this week for multiple reasons. I was sick this past weekend, Ewan has been extremely busy with his move and what not, so we just didn't do it. We did interview Wendy Thurm of FanGraphs last Friday to preview the upcoming Jays-Giants series that starts tonight though, so we have that. It will act as our 8th episode. Oh, and because I was sick at the time of the recording, and was not up to speaking(even though I barely do any on our podcasts) I sat the interview out. So it's just Ewan this week. Without further ado, our interview...

BlueJaysPlus Podcast Episode 6: The one Where we Interview Portlanders

Because the Jays are way to depressing to talk about, we only talked about them for about 20 minutes, and then had a couple of fantastic interviews. The first is with Matthew Kory of BP and Over the Monster, and the second is with Jeff Sullivan of Fangraphs, USS Mariner, and formerly of Lookout Landing. Enjoy.

BlueJaysPlus Podcast Episode 3: One Week In

Just fooling around with different logos...

Time flies when you're having fun(and losing 13-0). After 6 games, the Jays sit at 2-4, yet have been entertaining every time they've gone out their and played. 3 episodes into our podcast,we hope we're even more entertaining(although it's not likely cause the Jays have Jose Reyes and we just have skype). Int his weeks episode, we look back at the week that was in Jays land, from the Blue Jays horrific defines, to Brett Cecil's awesome first few games, to Colby Rasmus' sweet swing. We also talk about John Farrell's return, whether or not players should be wearing Roy Halladay's number(we're looking at you Esmil Rogers), and as always, have our Jays MILB player of the week. Hope you enjoy!

BlueJaysPlus Podcast: Episode 1.2!

Every baseball site needs a podcast, so we decided to start one! This is our first episode, and we hope to have one every week of the year. We can't promise they will all be so content packed like this one, where we spoke for an hour+ about the upcoming season, but we will try our best. This is my first foray into podcasting, so I'm not the best at it. I'll try to have it be downloadable sometime in the next week or so, and hopefully on itunes as well, but I have to learn how to do all of that. Until then, I guess you'll have to just listen on here.
