Summary
Blake is joined by Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith to break down the Blue Jays series opening loss to the Guardians in Cleveland. Blake & Ben get into the Jays pitching decisions in the bullpen game, the roster moves leading into the series, before getting into the continued offensive struggles, and the Jays prospects of winning the series with Dylan Cease and Jose Soriano lined up to start the next two (32:44). Later, Ben Clemens (39:58) from FanGraphs joins the show to chat about the Angels sale to Stan Kroenke, how it effects the potential of a lockout in 2027, and the Jays spot within the American League Wild Card race. Finally, FanGraphs' Kiri Oler (1:18:51) jumps on the show to discuss her work on the new Women's Professional Baseball League, the development of the league in its inaugural season, and chat about some of the standout players so far.
