Blue Jays Central analyst Joe Siddall (0:20) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker in-studio to chat about the pitching incident between Houston Astros' starter Framber Valdez and his catcher César Salazar, what he expects from Shane Bieber in his third start since coming off the IL, how he views the Jays handling Jose Berrios' struggles against the Cincinnati Reds, Trey Yesavage's future in Buffalo, who will become Toronto's second hitter in the lineup in October, how Bo Bichette has controlled his 'aggressiveness' at the plate and Alejandro Kirk's season catching. Then, ESPN's Jeff Passan (27:44) stops by to give an early look at the Jays' weekend clash with AL East rivals New York Yankees, how the Yankees have climbed back into the standings behind Toronto, Boston Red Sox's Roman Anthony rookie year coming to a halt, why Bieber might not be far from becoming the Jays' number one pitcher and his view on Framber Valdez's seemingly intentionally pitching his catcher.
