Listen in the appJeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back on the Toronto Blue Jays' loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in extra innings. They discuss the Jays' five-run seventh inning, the Rays taking advantage with their speed, Shane McClanahan's dominant outing, Daulton Varsho's outfield defence, and how Dylan Cease can set the Jays up for a better result in the series finale. Later, three-time manager of the year Joe Maddon (28:08) joins the show to share his thoughts on the Rays' formula, why it's too early for Jays fans to start panicking, how John Schneider can get the most out of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and why Cease's adjustments towards being more efficient are sustainable.
