Blue Jays’ Joe Biagini “Word Association” Trilogy
If you are a Toronto Blue Jays fan then you need to experience the Jo Biagini “Word Association” videos he partakes in with Matthew Stucko of the YES Network, these things are tv gold.
By now we are all familiar with the quirkiness and unique sense of humor that Blue Jays pitcher Joe Biagini possess, he is definitely a breath of fresh in an awkward kind of way as the Blue Jays continue to frustrate their fans with inconsistent play this season.
In the first episode, Stucko explores Biagini’s word association on such topics as Marcus Stroman, Josh Donaldson, Big League Chew, Dunkeroos, Babe Ruth, Aaron Judge, Hamilton Porter, Rick Vaughn, Vin Scully, Harry Caray and to finish it off, David Cone.
Word Association #1
Word Association #2
The second episode of “Word Association” Biagini attempts to redeem himself from the first episode as he provides some additional humorous views on such topics as Ranch Sunflower Seeds, Chipotle, Aaron Sanchez, Gary Sanchez, Mickey Mantle, Drake, Taylor Swift, Wendy Peffercorn, Al Leiter and lastly Barry Davis.
Word Association #3
In the final Word Association episode, Biagini gets interrupted by teammate Danny Barnes as the hurler associates words on such topics as Jimmy Fallon, Russell Martin, Aaron Judge, Big Bird, Pancakes, Quesadilla and Chicken Parmesan.
Next: Blue Jays may have found their left-fielder in Dwight Smith Jr.
I have a feeling this will not be the last of Biagini and the Word Association videos as you can never anticipate what will come out of the hurler’s mouth, however, Stucko may want to explore the man-crush Biagini has for his battery mate Russell Martin in a future segment.

As long as Biagini keeps producing on the field the 27-year old can be as odd as he so desires. From Fallon to Stuck, you never know where Biagini will pop up next.
Well done Joe, well done!
