Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays’ 4-3 win in extra innings over the Detroit Tigers, notably Kevin Gausman’s strong outing and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s defence. Blue Jays Manager John Schneider joins the show with his club having won seven of their last eight games to discuss the positive signs he’s seen from José Berríos, Alek Manoah gradually building up his velocity, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. becoming a gold glover at first-base, and the current platoon situation at second base (28:11). Tigers Manager A.J. Hinch looks ahead to the final game of the Jays-Tigers series and talks about managing a developing young team and the new bullpen configurations at Rogers Centre for opposing teams (49:33). We wrap up with Blue Jays play-by-play voice Dan Shulman, who comments on Matt Chapman’s hot start and how the new rules can effect the team on the base paths (01:14:13).
