JTP: Slumping Season on the Brink

Blake is joined by former MLB pitcher John Axford to discuss the Blue Jays weekend in Texas, as the team dropped two of three games against the Rangers. Blake & John chat about the team's performance, the trouble around Dylan Cease missing his next start due to injury, as well as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leaving Sunday's game with injury, and how the team might be feeling as they approach the end of the season (28:47). Later, Brandon Wile (50;46) from TheScore breaks down the rest of the playoff scenarios in the American League, including the Red Sox clinching a spot and lining up to play the Yankees in the Wild Card round, before getting into Yordan Alvarez' insane season, potentially ending with an AL MVP award. Finally, Orioles broadcaster Kevin Brown (1:16:08) gives the Baltimore side of the story ahead of the pivotal series with the Jays, before chatting about Pete Alonso's first season with the O's, and former Jays pitcher Chris Bassitt's effect on the club.
