It took some to recover, but Ryan Andrews is finally ready to talk about what happened last night, with your help!
The host tries to wrap their head around what exactly the Blue Jays managed to do in last night's stunning seven-run comeback in the ninth inning against the Rays. Recapping what occurred, Andrews waxes poetic about how innings like that can restore faith in baseball, and praises the youngsters (Dwight Smith Jr., Rowdy Tellez, Jonathan Davis, Danny Jansen and Lourdes Gurriel Jr.) as well as the steely veteran Justin Smoak, who delivered the final blow.
Sam Gaviglio is the focus of the second segment. Andrews cites Karen Soutar's assessment of Gaviglio as a future swingman for the Blue Jays and Roy Widrig's article on JaysFromTheCouch.com about the state of the 2019 Blue Jays rotation and where Gaviglio fits in. The bullpen also gets a look, complete with more praise for Tim Mayza and some for David Paulino as well.
Andrews closes with a discussion about the news that MLB has placed Addison Russell on administrative leave. The host draws parallels to the Roberto Osuna situation and stresses the need for MLB to start taking its domestic violence problems seriously.
