Blake is joined by Dan Shulman, Blue Jays play-by-play voice, to discuss the Jays win over the Red Sox, the interesting sequence in the seventh inning, and the implications of the confusion on how the game played out, before giving Charles McAdoo his flowers for a home run in his fifth consecutive game. Then, The Athletic's Derek VanRiper (29:44) joins the show to chat about the biggest fantasy stories around the league, the Red Sox' surging play recently, and the Brewers leading the charge in the National League. Later, John Axford (51:56), 11-year MLB veteran, and Steve Sladkowski of the band Pup, join the show in studio to further the discussion around the timing play last night, the emotions of a lengthy delay, and the quirks of scoring a baseball game yourself, before getting into the Jays' moves at the trade deadline, and Pup's upcoming 10-year anniversary show (1:20:10).
