Baseless in 10+: Jays vs Rangers

The Blue Jays’ playoff hopes are hanging by a thread, Lindsay isn’t sleeping, and we’re officially wondering whether this relationship is becoming toxic. After a rough series against the Rangers, we’re joined by casual Jays fan Joanna and her dad Cliff, a diehard fan who’s been cheering for the team since their very first season , to talk about what went wrong, whether there’s still reason to believe, and why being a baseball fan sometimes requires a lot of patience.Cliff takes us through nearly 50 years of Jays fandom — from $2 tickets at Exhibition Stadium and sneaking Canadian Club into games to Bautista’s bat flip and the heartbreak of last season. Plus, we name our Boyfriends of the Series, celebrate the bullpen for finally giving us something to feel good about, and get some much-needed perspective from a lifelong fan: baseball is a long game, there’s always another season, and apparently… Kevin Gausman is coming back. Cliff has spoken.
