JD prepares for the Blue Jays to play in their first ALCS since 2016, and describes his struggle to find tickets for this postseason series compared to Blue Jays playoff runs in years past, before looking back at the unexpected contributors on this likeable version of the Blue Jays (00:00). Then, Dan Shulman, Blue Jays play-by-play voice, jumps on with JD to further break down the Jays series victory over the Yankees (9:25). They discuss the scenes at Yankee Stadium during the celebration, the ability of the team to deal with adversity throughout the season and into the playoffs, before looking ahead at their potential CS opponents in the Tigers and the Mariners, and the decision around Bo Bichette potentially joining the Jays roster for the next round. After the break, JD looks at the Phillies' dramatic walk-off loss to the Dodgers as they were eliminated from the postseason, and the Cubs surviving Game 4 against the Brewers to force a Game 5 on Saturday (44:53).
