Description
The show kicks off with Blake Murphy recapping the Toronto Blue Jays' series-opening victory in Cleveland. Shortly after, he is joined by Keegan Matheson, a writer for MLB.com/BlueJays.com. The initial topic of conversation revolves around the team's injury update, which now, unfortunately, includes the writer's laptop and the status of Hyun-jin Ryu. Following that, much like the team's approach, they allocate some time to discuss Cavan Biggio - the baseball equivalent of the sixth man, Davis Schneider – temporary lead-off hitter, and the impressive performance of the bull’ish’pen after Ryu's departure. As the show reaches its midpoint, Blake welcomes Jon Morosi from MLB Network (30:35), delving right into a thorough roundup of the American League play and happenings post-trade deadline, along with speculating on upcoming movements before the "winter" period. In a fully stacked second hour of the show, Blake was first joined by Alex Anthopoulos (50:03) , GM and President of Baseball Operations for the Atlanta Braves. They discuss how he feels about his team post-deadline. Then he shares some of the lessons learned from his Jays’ tenure, then reminisces about a past acquisition he’s responsible for, José Bautista. Next, Blake was joined by Madison Shipman (1:09:46), a fellow Kicks enthusiast and a Baseball Analyst at Sportsnet. She shared her impressions on the Jays’ opener in Cleveland, Gavin Williams’ dominance, and some expectations for tonight’s tilt. In the final 20 minutes, Blake welcomed Andre Knott (1:25:06) from Bally Sports Cleveland to provide some perspective on the next two starting pitchers for the Guardians, the recent addition of Noah Syndergaard, the brawl and resulting suspensions, and course - the Naylor Brothers.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.
