Sho Alli and Kaitlyn McGrath break down the Blue Jays' 8-6 comeback win vs. the Cubs to even the series at one game apiece! They take your calls and texts, and discuss Louis Varland shutting things down in a six-out save - is he a shoo-in for AL Reliever of the Year at this point? They get into the timely hitting from Alejandro Kirk, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Kazuma Okamoto, and Daulton Varsho - does John Schneider also get some credit for his pinch-hit moves? Plus, they discuss the outfield defence from Varsho alongside Myles Straw and Nathan Lukes, Jeff Hoffman keeping it together in the seventh, and what the rotation could look like when Shane Bieber returns on Monday.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 16-2 loss vs. the Cubs to open the three-game series in Chicago. They take your calls and texts, and get right to Kevin Gausman allowing seven earned runs in the first inning - should he have been pulled earlier, or should he have gone even longer after the game was out of reach? They discuss a few Jesús Sánchez misplays in the field, the bullpen getting overworked once again, including Brendon Little making another appearance - what's the next step for Little after three walks? Plus, we hear from John Schneider and Kevin Gausman in their post-game availabilities.

Jeff Blair and Sho Alli break down the Blue Jays' 4-3 win vs. the Red Sox to complete the sweep at Fenway Park! They take your calls and texts, and get right to the biggest moment of the game, a Brandon Valenzuela RBI double off Aroldis Chapman (and the Green Monster) to drive in the game-winning run. Where would this team be without the rookie catcher? They discuss Vladimir Guerrero Jr. smashing his fourth home run of the season early on - is this the moment Vladdy is 'back' after three RBI in the last two games? Plus, they discuss Trey Yesavage striking out six over 7.1 IP, the thin bullpen, and get into the pre-game news that Anthony Santander could be back this season - does that change the Jays priorities at the coming deadline?
