Todd Stottlemyre (3:08), two-time World Series champion pitcher with the Blue Jays, reflects on the life and career of his former teammate Duane Ward, his presence in the clubhouse and on the mound, the pitcher's game-day routines, and the importance of the 1991 season and its impact on the following back-to-back World Series wins. Then, Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker listen to John Schneider's pre-game media availability ahead of their series against the Tampa Bay Rays before bringing on Rays' TV analyst and former pitcher Brian Anderson (30:00) to look at how the team can hold the top spot of the AL East with the surging Boston Red Sox, Bryan Baker's breakout year as their closer, Nick Martinez's changeup vs. sinker usage, and trade deadline targets.
