Description
The Jays are a playoff team in the same way playoff teams are lifeless scarecrows constantly being pecked, soaked, beaten and being forced to watch actual good teams play baseball while trying to keep a smile. Drew, Stoeten and The Athletic's Blue Jays beat writer Kaitlyn McGrath pursue the truth...well...the relative truth; are the Blue Jays a playoff caliber team (:30)? What perspectives can these Jays journos present amid epic beatings? Derek Fisher...ugh (20:30). If MLB's expanded playoff format is here to stay, how do we feel about 16 teams vying for a pennant after 162 (28:00)? How does this adversely effect players? Magic number: 9. What potential adjustments do the trio perceive taking place ahead of Toronto's postseason push (43:30)?Follow Drew on Twitter: @DrewGROFFollow Stoeten on Twitter: @AndrewStoetenFollow Kaitlyn on Twitter: @kaitlynmcgrath
