Jays Talk Plus: From One A.L. East Rival to Another

The Blue Jays’ American League East struggles continue at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles, dropping the series finale on Thursday. Host Blake Murphy gives us some surprising stats from the series, and highlights one player in particular that almost beat the Jays single-handily. Then, theScore’s Jonah Birenbaum hops aboard to try to make sense of why the Jays' continue to struggle within their division. Next, Blake welcomes FanGraphs writer and "ZiPsetician" Dan Szymborski to dive deeper into some numbers around the league and how the Jays stack up (30:41). The second hour kicks off with Blue Jays radio voice Ben Wagner, who helps turn the page from the Orioles to the Red Sox this weekend (51:00). Blake and him look at continuing issues for the Blue Birds throughout the season, before sorting through some expected roster and lineup moves on the horizon. To close out, Blake checks in with Gabrielle Starr, Boston Herald Red Sox reporter and founder of Girl at the Game, for some insight into the BoSox ahead of tonight's first pitch (01:18:32).
