The show begins with Blake Murphy providing an extensive recap of a weekend where the Blue Jays secured a sweep at Fenway Park in Boston. Following that, he’s joined by Kaitlyn McGrath, a writer at The Athletic, to delve deeper into the Jays' newfound success against an A.L. East rival, the remarkable Major League Debut of Davis Schneider, the impressive pitching of late, and the recent changes to the team's roster. Later in the broadcast, at the halfway mark, Blake engages in a conversation with Rob Friedman (31:01), a Pitching Analyst with Peacock and the MLB on Fox. They swiftly transition into their side roles as boxing analysts to break down the Ramírez vs. Anderson match-up in Cleveland, then quickly pivot into a discussion on how just having good ‘stuff’ trumps the analytics around velocity, the Jays six-man rotation, Rob’s favourite pitches and pitchers, and the FlatGround Pitching App. During the second hour of the show, Jay Jaffe from Fangraphs Baseball makes an appearance (51:17) to dissect the weekend that was in the A.L. East. This includes analyzing the Orioles' streak and the struggles faced by the Yankees, along with discussing the Mariners' newfound confidence. Jay also takes the opportunity to elaborate on his 2023 Replacement-Level Killers FanGraphs article and provides insights into what the Blue Jays should anticipate in Cleveland. Moving into the show's final half-hour segment, Blake extends greetings and birthday wishes to Lewie Pollis (1:13:56), a Data Scientist and Consultant associated with The Lewsletter. The conversation delves into Lewie's career journey within the baseball realm, his role in providing consultation to MLB teams, and a comprehensive exploration of how the evolving rule changes have impacted the game.
