Jays Talk Plus: Another Loss Brings Out the T.O. Boo Birds

A joyless 10-0 loss at the hands of the Texas Rangers in front of a home crowd brought out the boo birds at Rogers Centre. Host Blake Murphy, who was in attendance, breaks down both the game and atmosphere down at the park. He brings on Sportsnet's Joe Siddall to help him remember that the team is still in the hunt for a postseason position despite their poor performance over the last three games. Next, Blake checks in with Dan Szymborski of FanGraphs about the latest playoff odds and how easily things swing at this time of the season, before sizing up both Wild Card races and the teams that sit in prime positions to clinch (30:18). To start the second hour, Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling joins Blake in-studio to examine why the Jays have been a complete no-show in a series everyone deemed the most important of the season. The pair focus in at how approaches change from series to series and keys to help get the team back on track (50:10). To close out today, MLB.com's Mike Petriello brings some positivity when talking about his latest piece on Davis Schneider's unbelievable start to his MLB career, before eventually facing the music to discuss Toronto's recent struggles and how this team can right the ship (01:17:17).
