## Resource

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back at the Blue Jays' weekend series in Baltimore against the Orioles and touch on Jeff Hoffman's 9th-inning meltdown, Spencer Miles' first start on the road, Jesús Sánchez getting hit by a ball in the outfield from the stands, and Charles McAdoo's debut weekend in the Majors. Then, The Athletic's and host of the Starkville Podcast Jayson Stark joins the guys (29:17) to chat about the New York Yankees 13-run game against the A's, the state of the American League and it's East division with many teams without a winning record, if the Chicago White Sox's pitching staff is sustainable, and why the 2026 NL Cy Young Award is a tight race.
