Description
On another glorious episode of Birds All Day, Drew and Stoeten welcome Toronto Blue Jays radio play-by-play announcer, Mike Wilner, to the program (6:30)! Mike fills us in on life without baseball and broaches a cornucopia of subjects, including: his level of optimism in a season (11:45); the advantages the Jays could present in a truncated year (13:30); how to quantify success under these circumstances (16:40) and should Toronto excel early in a condensed season, should they go for broke and orchestrate title-contending moves (25:10)? After Drew and Stoeten bid Mike adieu, they cover a couple topics like the ongoing labor dispute (28:30) and rule changes that won't be redacted and their impact on the spirit and spontaneity of the sport (38:45). The guys conclude today's podcast by sorting through Stoeten's all-time best Blue Jays' free agent signings, and mull what it will take for Hyun-jin Ryu to rank among the club's legendary signees (53:00).
