## Resource

JD reacts to the Blue Jays' comeback win against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. He breaks down the incredible recent play of rookie Brandon Valenzuela, the continued struggles of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and the tear Louis Varland continues to be on. JD and James Sharman, co-host of Footy Prime, discuss the lack of buzz around this year's World Cup, the mentality of Team Canada, and the likelihood of Alphonso Davies playing and Canada’s injuries, before wrapping things up talking about the future of the program. After the break, JD touches on Mitch Marner's playoff performance, before wrapping up with thoughts on tonight's Game 3 as the Knicks host the Spurs in their first home Finals game in 27 years.
