The Blue Jays squeaked out a series win against the Texas Rangers, winning the series 2-1. The Blue Jays scores 4 runs in this series, and somehow won 2 baseball games. Bo Bichette had a clutch hit for the Jays in the 9th, turning on a changeup in a pinch hit at bat to provide the only offense the Jays could muster. The Blue Jays pitching was phenomenal, only allowing 1 hit in the contest through all nine innings. In this episode, we react to the series against the Texas Rangers, while discussing the key moments and performances from this series. We then talk about the current state of this roster, while giving you guys a sneak peak into a Blue Jays video you guys won’t want to miss!

It is the same old stuff from this Toronto Blue Jays offense, as the Jays drop the second game of the series 2-0. The Blue Jays continue to lack power at the plate, as they only have two players with an ops of .800 or above. They have now scored 4 runs in their last 5 games, and completely wasted one of the best starts of the season from Bowden Francis. We break down the key moments from the second game of the series, as well as give our perspectives of the current construction of this offense, and point out their many shortcomings in this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

The Toronto Blue Jays get an electric start from Kevin Gausman as they take down the Texas Rangers in the first game of the series 2-1. Gausman looked like his regular self once again, as he was able to shove for 8 innings, setting off Jeff Hoffman to come in and get the save in this win. While the pitching was great, this teams had a lot of the same problems we have seen all season: getting the timely hit. The Blue Jays continue to struggle to drive in runs in big moments, which is and has been a major concern all season. In this episode, we break down the key moments from this game, while giving our perspectives on the current construction of this offense, and what we identify as the major concerns on this baseball team on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.
