We're now just one sleep away from the Opening Day of the Major League Baseball season where the Toronto Blue Jays will kick things off against the New York Yankees. We're joined by long time Jays writer Andrew Stoeten to get you set.

Please take a moment to leave a rating and a review for the podcast and make sure you're subscribed wherever you're listening today.

We kick things off with the usual beer talk with Andrew as he recommends a brewery or two local to his neck of the woods up in Peterborough. And of course we need to ask him about his career path getting started at a little operation called "Drunk Jays Fans" that grew fast and set him on his way.

Getting in to the meat of the show we take a look at the big moves the team made this off season and what may have been surprising. Later on talk turns to who exactly is going to pitch for this team and whether or not it's going to be good enough to keep them in the race. And with the big additions made to the line up should we expect this team to score pretty much at will?

Finally - a couple World Series predictions and where we think the Blue Jays will finish up.

Andrew is a terrific writer with a great sense of humour that makes his work must read. You can find his new project at TheBatFlip.ca and follow him on Twitter @AndrewStoeten.

Welcome inside an all new episode of the Tall Can Audio podcast as today we're joined by the in-house DJ for the Ottawa Senators - Alex Marchand.

Please take a moment and help out the show by leaving a rating and a review on your podcast app and make sure you're subscribed wherever your listening.

Getting Alex on the show started with an exchange on Twitter so we start things off with that topic - Matt's begrudging preference for the in-game experience at Ottawa Senators games over that of his own beloved Maple Leafs.

Our conversation also covers how Alex managed to get the gig, the extra work load that's been thrust on him and his crew at Canadian Tire Centre with the Belleville Senators moving in for the season, his philosophy behind spitting out a great playlist for the night, whether he'd rather see each player have individual goal songs or stick with the current "one team - one song" approach most teams employ, how he handles nights when the building might be half full of Leafs or Habs fans and so much more.

Alex was a terrific guest and we were thrilled he made some time for us. He's a great follow on social media for any Sens fan. Find him @SensDJ.

We kick things off today by getting personal with Schreids as we ask her to go in depth on her music collection. It's so much more than just Shania.

We carry on discussing today's craft beers, our level of comfort with the fact that the Toronto Blue Jays will be playing in full stadiums when the Major League Baseball season starts as they tour through road series with the New York Yankees and the Texas Rangers.

Later on we get in to the meat of things as Matt and Michaela debate the ridiculous comments made by John Scott about Erik Karlsson of the San Jose Sharks about his time with the Ottawa Senators. Sometimes things are pretty clearly just attention grabbers.

Afterwards we move on to the gong show that surrounded Gord Miller's pretty harmless comment about Barstool Sports and how a bunch of 40 year old dudes still clinging to their frat culture decided it was cool to scream at his teenage daughter. This was just one of several incidents where Barstool morons showed who they really were and we walked through the whole problem with their culture.

The St Louis Blues have formed a relationship with the PWHPA that sees them become the 4th National Hockey League franchise to formalize relations with the group. Is pressure mounting on the NHL to get involved?

All this and so much more on today's episode of the Tall Can Audio podcast.
