Manny Acta, longtime MLB Manager and current Mariners' third-base coach, discusses the Toronto-Seattle series from his point of view, what he did as a manager when his teams were struggling at the plate, what Robbie Ray has brought to the rotation, and gives a scouting report on tonight’s starter Marco Gonzales as Toronto looks for the series sweep (02:35). We wrap up with an extended edition of Barker’s Back Leg Bits concentrated on the Blue Jays’ need for left-handed bat and if the Washington Nationals could be forced to deal phenom Juan Soto if he doesn’t agree to a long-term extension with the club (30:36).
