  • What's Wrong with the Giants? + Jensen Lewis
    Jul 6 2026

    Former pitcher and MLB Network Radio host Jensen Lewis (0:45) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to kick off the second hour. They discuss the Marlins' decision to pull Eury Pérez after seven perfect innings, whether Miami is 'for real,' the Padres' offensive struggles, why it's still too early for the Jays to start thinking about selling, and whether Aaron Judge's absence has exposed the Yankees' weaknesses. Later, F.P. Santangelo (26:30), Giants broadcaster and former Major Leaguer, stops by ahead of the Blue Jays' series in San Francisco. He weighs in on what's gone wrong for the Giants this year, the bullpen's inconsistency, the offence lacking fundamentals, Tony Vitello's first year as manager, and much more.

  • The Vladdy Conversation with Terry Collins and Kevin Pillar
    Jun 30 2026

    Former Mets manager Terry Collins (4:00) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker following the Jays' series-opening win over the Mets. Terry weighs in on whether moving Vladdy Jr. in the Jays order will help the struggling star, his philosophy on managing ageing stars, and the challenge of following up a World Series run. Then, Jeff and Kevin listen to John Schneider's pre-game availability, in which he outlines the pitching plan for Canada Day following Patrick Corbin's move to the bullpen. Finally, Kevin Pillar stops by (29:34) to help tee up game two between the Jays and Mets, and he discusses New York's fielding dysfunction and whether the All-Star break or an IL stint can get Vladdy back on track.

  • Building Off of Canada Day Win + Sean Keys' to Success
    Jul 2 2026

    Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back at the Blue Jays' 9-3 win on Canada Day over the New York Mets, promising swings from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the potential for Spencer Miles in a starting role, Sean Keys' first career home run, and how the team can ride their momentum into Seattle against the Mariners. Then, MLB insider and reporter for Sportsnet Ben Nicholson-Smith joins the guys (28:20) to discuss how many swings do players take before a game, the case for Nathan Lukes to bat lead-off, first impressions of Keys since being called up, what indications does the Jays' front office need to have to add ahead of the trade deadline, Daulton Varsho's struggles, why Miles' next appearance on the mound could be an audition for a increased role, and expectations for Shane Bieber's next start.
