  • Brent Gunning has to go

    Ben is amazing. I only listen to the show when Brent is off as I find him overwhelming and agitating.

    Please replace Brent with Sam McKee or another host and I will listen regularly.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fernando Mendoza’s Outlook w/ Charles Davis + Jays’ Lineup Crunch
Q: When should Fernando Mendoza start for the Raiders, given the current roster moves?
The consensus leans toward starting Mendoza sooner rather than later if the team has rebuilt the line and surrounding pieces; however, there is caution that it should be a considered decision given the quarterback's development and the surrounding system.
Blue Jays Wild Card Chase with Chris "Mad Dog" Russo
Q: Which season is more surprising, Raleigh's or Guerrero Jr.'s?
Russo suggests Cal Raleigh's resurgence is more surprising given his power drop and the Mariners' need for him, while Guerrero's season is viewed as improved defensively but continuing to be challenged offensively; the guest notes Raleigh's power and Guerrero's steadier defense as the more notable contrasts.
Managing Injuries & Future in Centre Field with J.P. Ricciardi
Q: Do you remember the worst injury season of your career as an executive, JP?
Ricciardi shares a memory of a throwaway year due to DL injuries, emphasizing that injuries are part of the game and comparing the Jays' situation to other teams that suffer through DL with depth being the key to surviving.
Jays-Yankees in the Bronx w/ Jeff Blair & Emmanuel Berbari
Q: What is the state of the Yankees' offense with key players returning?
Emmanuel Berbari described a pulse returning to the lineup as Judge, Stanton, and Bellinger come back, suggesting improved offensive potential even if some players are still scuffling.
The Jays Weekend and Wild Card Race w/ Kaitlyn McGrath and Adnan Virk
Q: Who has the edge in the AL Cy Young race and what would Cease's win mean for the Jays?
The discussion leaned toward Dylan Cease as a strong contender, with Virk noting that winning the Cy Young would be a significant feather in the Jays' cap and validate their pitching strategy, especially if Cease can lower his ERA further.
