## Resource

Blake Murphy is joined by Sportsnet’s Chris Black to discuss George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s at-bats vs. David Bednar and the loss to the Yankees. They also break down why Toronto’s chase rate has skyrocketed and Dylan Cease’s lethal two-pitch combo (35:03). Afterwards, Brian Page (51:12) of Rapsodo discusses how they help players analyze data and their roles in injury prevention in baseball. Lastly, Ron Darling (1:15:12) of TBS talks about Vladdy’s struggles, Dylan Cease’s evolution as a pitcher, the Mets and his appearance on “Mr.3000.” The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.
