Description

After having their birdhouse rocked for five straight games, the Blue Jays rebounded against a lesser avian, the Orioles, ending their drought. Drew and Kaitlyn pick through Toronto's much-needed win and zero in on why Semien thought the club's 'W' was "big". Although the team cleansed themselves of their losing curse, are they in a position to go all-in? Drew and Kaitlyn debate Toronto's trajectory, needs, trade targets, et al. as July nears. The duo touch on John Axford joining the bullpen. Lastly, George Springer's return will be marked not only by excitement and collective breath-holding but questions about lineup construction and optimization.
