Sportsnet producer Chris Black joins Blake Murphy for another edition of Explain It Black as they touch on scenarios where the Jays should try for a bunt with runners in scoring position, Jose Berrios' regression on his fastball pitch, velocity dipping down for Kevin Gausman, and how batters can decrease chasing sliders in their at-bats (2:48). Jays TV play-by-play voice Dan Shulman jumps on to discuss Danny Jansen's heroics since returning to the lineup, Matt Chapman's defence in the infield and growing leadership within the clubhouse (27:38). Then, radio voice Ben Wagner stops by to chat about his experience taking a fishing trip with Buck Martinez, Marcus Stroman's tenure with the Jays, and how Ben approaches working a doubleheader (49:28). Afterward, FanGraphs' Ben Clemens breaks down Berrios struggles in the opener against the Cubs, why improving his changeup can help bolster his other pitches, and why he has strong optimism with Bo Bichette in his at-bats (1:07:04). Finally, Blake previews Marcus Stroman's return to Toronto, and we hear comments from the Cubs starter on his relationship with the fanbase (1:25:55).
