Description
Blake Murphy kicks things off with a brief recap of the Blue Jays' recent setback on Tuesday Night at Rogers Centre. Keegan Matheson from MLB.com helps dissect the team's current sense of urgency, examines instances of tactical 'mismanagement' on the field, plus the intriguing post-game media scrum with John Schneider. To conclude the first hour, Blake is joined by Mitchell Hooper from Longevity Nexum. The discussion explores Mitchell's background in Health and Nutritional Sciences, along with his remarkable achievement of being crowned the World's Strongest Man in 2023, before shifting towards the realm of strength and conditioning in baseball (32:00). Kicking off the second hour is Sportsnet’s Ben Wagner, who shares looks into some potential waiver targets following the Angels fire sale, and deliberate who should take the primary chunk of Bo Bichette’s reps at shortstop (53:40). In the final segment, Blake welcomes in Ben Clemens from FanGraphs, who delves into Arte Moreno's choice to cast out certain Angels, the teams best positioned to capitalize on Thursday’s waiver deadline, and which players could offer the greatest returns as a late-season investment (01:19:40).
