Blake Murphy is joined by Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith as they discuss the bullpen’s sneaky success, dividing the playing time when George Springer is the designated hitter, what the catching dynamic of Alejandro Kirk, Danny Jansen, and Gabriel Moreno offers the Jays, the Alek Manoah and Shohei Ohtani bout on Saturday at Rogers Centre, plus Nicholson-Smith's thoughts on the Jays new-look 2023 schedule (1:30). Blake tees up the Jays game tonight against the Red Sox and pitcher Kutter Crawford. Then 2022 Music Searchlight winner, Chad Price, joins to chat about his recent album 'Introversion', nostalgic memories from the 90's Jays teams, and weighing the confidence in the Jays starters (01:10:00). Ross Stripling joins the show and talks about how he views finishing his outings, what went into developing his strong change-up and pairing it with his two-seamer, how a high-release point helps his pitching, potential change-up similarities with other pitchers, the mid-season stress of making mechanical changes, and his focus with the playoffs and free-agency looming (01:15:00).
