After a day off, host Blake Murphy is back to set the table for final two weeks of the MLB season. He quickly revisits the Blue Jays' weekend sweep of the Red Sox, before looking ahead to the remaining schedule for all teams in the hunt for the American League Wild Card. Next, we turn out attention to a positive story within the Blue Jays organization, recognizing the Vancouver Canadians, who for the fifth time in franchise history and the first time in High-A, are champions of the Northwest League. Blake catches up with the C’s manager, Brent Lavallee, to talk about the team’s remarkable 2023 season (14:43). We shift focus back to the big leagues ahead of this week's series in New York with Bob Lorenz, YES Network studio host, for some insight on the Bronx Bombers and their recent success (35:34). In the second hour, Sportsnet Blue Jays producer and numbers specialist, Chris Black joins Blake in-studio to dive into some recent new data around the Blue Jays, specifically at the plate, and identifies which "fringe guys" deserve to be in the lineup more frequently (50:40).
