Description
Blue Jays radio voice Ben Wagner joins Blake Murphy to discuss the Toronto club's continuing struggles at Tropicana Field, what role could Whit Merrifield have when the post-season comes around, a downtrend in Jose Berrios' outings, and his impressions on Foster Griffin's debut out of the pen (2:48). FanGraphs' Michael Baumann jumps on to chat about his confidence level in the Jays starting rotation, John Schneider's plan for using Alek Manoah around the playoffs, Jordan Romano's game day routine, and his use of the fastball and slider (24:59). Then, MLB.com's Julia Kreuz shares her thoughts on Berrios' ongoing problems on the road compared to playing at home, how Mitch White can carry over the positive aspects of his last start against the Rays, and the reasons to have Gabriel Moreno stick around on the post-season roster (49:27).
