Host Blake Murphy kicks off today's show looking back another solid start from Kevin Gausman squandered by the Blue Jays' lack of run support in the series opener against the Giants. MLB.com Keegan Matheson hops aboard to evaluate Toronto's offensive draught, before shifting gears to the Florida Complex League following Alek Manoah's disastrous start. Next, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle weighs in on the Giants' strong first half, and offers some insight on Brandon Belt and former Blue Jay Ross Stripling (30:55). Sportsnet's Blue Jays TV voice Dan Shulman stops by to evaluate some of the big picture decisions surrounding this cub moving towards the All-Star break (50:04). In the last segment, Eno Sarris of The Athletic and FanGraphs takes a deeper look at Alek Manoah’s situation, the state of the Blue Jays' starting rotation, and how Toronto's pitching staff fairs in the STUFF+ metric (01:21:32).
