Description
Jeff and Kevin start off the show reacting to Yordan Alvarez’s walk-off home run off of Robbie Ray in Game 1 of Houston & Seattle’s divisional series, before getting into why Scott Servais decided to use Robbie Ray out of the bullpen. Afterwards, the guys look back on Ross Atkins’ end-of-season news conference and discuss why ultimately, they both believe John Schneider will be back as manager of the Blue Jays in 2023. Sportsnet’s Joe Siddall shares his takeaways from Atkins’ availability and day one of the 2022 division series, notably Cal Quantrill’s start against the Yankees, Dodgers-Padres West coast showdown, and his breakdown of the Ray-Alvarez at-bat (33:50).
