Independent coverage of Toronto Blue Jays baseball from Andrew Stoeten, formerly of the Athletic, VI

06/04/2026

This week Nick and I take some time to reflect on the Jays' latest disastrous bout of Hoffmania, and some concurrent Schneider discourse—plus transaction talk, the rotation's future, a hitter-by-hitter confidence check (spoiler: it's low!), and more!

[Editor’s Note: Once again I apologize for the lack of activity around here lately.

There's been fluidity at the fringes of the Jays’ roster lately, so this week and I dove into the details about the likes of Charles McAdoo, et al.

PLUS: Series wins, rotation depth, vibes, Bumwatch (TM), another Varsho evolution, and more!

[Editor’s Note: Apologies for the lack of activity around here lately, but I’ve been on the IL with an arm injury that has been too painful to write through for a little bit.

A Varsho Slam saved us all from a downbeat episode, but the Jays still have a big hole to dig themselves out of. Especially with Lauer gone, Barger back on the IL, and Vladdy struggling.

This week and I talked about all that, and a whole lot more!

On Barger, Lauer, Piñango, Yariel, José Bautista for some reason, injury updates, dumb things, failing to get posts finished before the stupid game starts, the even more stupid Rays, and even more!

This week, after a brutal beating at the Trop, Nick and I are talking standings, Sánchez, Schneider, Sosa, Big Oak, Barger, Berríos, Bieber, Bad Vlad, Sensational Straw, and more!

The Jays are building momentum and getting healthy finally, and this week Nick and I are talking about all about it—from the returns of Springer and Yesavage, to future rotation shuffling, to backup catchers, to a love-in for Ernie, and more!
