4.7 out of 5 stars from 66 ratings
  • Not great for listeners

    I like Whit’s perspective on things and Lindsay is a decent host, but I feel like a LOT of times they forget that there are people LISTENING to this podcast - not watching it. There’s a fair amount of times each episode where I feel like I don’t get what they’re talking about because it’s much more geared towards people who WATCH it than those who just listen.

    Allan MicolinoGreat meeting you after game 6. As I said to you the pod cast has really improved over the last 6 weeks. The chemistry between you two is excellent. Love the banter and

    Love hearing from the players on a personal level and getting the inside scoop! I don’t love Lindsay on this pod unfortunately. All I can hear is her flirting and voicing silly comments to try to relate to the pro players. Otherwise, really enjoying this podcast!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Blue Jays win the Gold Glove, other MLB news, & Aaron Ashby Joins the Show! | 6ix Inning Stretch
Q: What's your mentality when you are so locked in?
Ashby says he stopped trying to force perfection and instead sought calm and trusted his preparation. His focus narrowed to a simple pitching cue, supported by trust in catcher William Contreras.
Blue Jays win the Gold Glove, other MLB news, & Aaron Ashby Joins the Show! | 6ix Inning Stretch
Q: Give us a walkthrough of the hours and days that followed the final win. I know you guys clinched in Tampa. So was there something in Tampa you guys did that night?
Ashby describes an organization-wide celebration after the win, an attempted trip to a club that turned back because it could not serve alcohol after 3 a.m., and dancing together at the hotel. The team then went to a Packers game at Lambeau Field before the Milwaukee parade.
MLB Salary Cap Proposal, Blue Jays Free Agent Targets & Award Finalists | 6ix Inning Stretch
Q: Can you explain what it's like to be an MLB player during this time of year?
Whit says players generally know in advance whether options are likely to be exercised. A declined club option does not rule out a return on a lower salary, while players tend to accept player options when injury or performance makes a better free-agent contract unlikely.
MLB Salary Cap Proposal, Blue Jays Free Agent Targets & Award Finalists | 6ix Inning Stretch
Q: What do you make out of this right now, Whit?
Whit says the proposed salary cap is not a serious offer and that the players' opposition makes it a non-starter. He expects negotiations to involve repeated proposals and counterproposals before either side makes meaningful movement.
How the Blue Jays' Training Staff Keeps Players Game-Ready ft. Voon Chong | 6ix Inning Stretch
Q: What does a typical day look like for you on a game day?
Chong arrives around 12:30 p.m., joins a brief medical meeting, helps players with treatments and preparation, watches batting practice, and provides more care before and after the game.
