José Berríos Leads Jays to First 2023 Win vs. Orioles: Sho Alli and Julia Kreuz break down the Blue Jays' 3-1 win over the Orioles at Camden Yards! They take your calls and texts, and get right to José Berríos' 7.2 IP in which he did not allow a single run. Is this the best version of Berríos the Jays have ever gotten? They discuss how the length from Berríos allows for the bullpen to get set up a little better over the next few days - especially after shorter outings from Kevin Gausman and Chris Bassitt recently - and how Jordan Romano still got the job done despite making it somewhat interesting in the end. Plus, a chat on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s frustrations, and Whit Merrifield continuing to get it done at the plate (despite a base-running error).

Vladdy Jr. Launches Fourth of July Fireworks: Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 4-3 win over the White Sox in Chicago! They take your calls, and get right to the play of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. launching some July 4th fireworks of his own, a two-run bomb in the eighth inning. Has both his swing and approach turned a corner? They get to the start from Chris Bassitt, the play of Erik Swanson, Jordan Romano slamming the door, Bo Bichette's defence, and the odd George Springer fair-or-foul play towards the end of the game.

They chat Vladimir Guerrero Jr's third homer of the year at home to provide all the team's offence (and his participation in this year's Home Run Derby), Jordan Romano's adventurous save to wrap things up, and the throw from Alejandro Kirk to Santiago Espinal.
