Ben Ennis, filling in for Jeff Blair, and Kevin Barker open the week with a look back on the Blue Jays' weekend series against the New York Yankees. They discuss recent improved pitching performances, the Jays' standing in the Wild Card race, Alejandro Kirk's hot stretch, the implications of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s concussion, and Ricky Tiedemann's Major League debut. Then, Sportsnet TV's voice of the Blue Jays Dan Shulman (28:03) stops by to discuss the different feel around the team since the trade deadline, whether the recent run is sustainable, Kazuma Okamoto's streaky rookie season, Brett Bateman's instant impact, Tyler Rogers' unsung dominance, and much more.
