Description
After a rare off day, Blake Murphy gets you set for the Blue Jays' return to Rogers Centre for a three game series with the Milwaukee Brewers. Sportsnet's Jays producer Chris Black joins in-studio to dive into some analytics and some of the stifling numbers around Toronto. Where else would they start but with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and his recent cold stretch at the dish. They also take time to break down the numbers around Daulton Varsho, Yusei Kikuchi and Alek Manoah. To start the second hour, Blake checks in with former Toronto Raptor and current London Lion Sam Dekker. After some quick basketball thoughts, they get into Sam's love for the Brew Crew: where did that die-hard fandom came from and what does he think of this year’s squad (50:15). To close the show, Blake takes an even closer look at Milwaukee with radio play-by-play broadcaster Josh Maurer, who lets us know how the team has been performing lately atop the N.L. Central (01:13:10). 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 affiliates.

Manoah Magic Bottled, Blue Jays Blanked at Home: Sho Alli breaks down the Blue Jays' 4-0 loss to the Yankees at Rogers Centre. He takes your calls and texts, and gets into whether or not the 'Red Jersey Curse' is real (spoiler: it is). He gets into the outing by Alek Manoah, discusses if he struggled (in part) due to not using the PitchCom device, and whether or not he should consider adopting it going forward with the pitch clock eventually on its way to the majors. Plus, a chat on the game's umpiring and the prospects of robot strike zones/umpires at large.
