We’re talking about it right now on Fantasy Sports Radio, channel 87, and the Sirius XM app and Radio Network. One pitch line, right field, base hit. Blue Jays [Applause] win. Ernie Clement is the hero today as he drives in Dalton Baro. And the Blue Jays beat baseball’s best team with a walk-off single in the nine. We’re never out of the game. It’s it’s so much fun to play uh for a team that that that’s the feel. And our pitchers are are amazing. So, if we can if we can scratch some runs across uh we’re going to win a lot of ball games. So, um you know, it’s nice to to you know, scratch a couple late and um it’s it’s even nicer knowing you’re never out of the game. Even when it’s you know, you’re down five, six runs early, you can you can always come back. So, it’s a it’s a really uh it’s a really special group. That was Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement talking after his walk-off single. Won it yesterday for the Blue Jays. They scratched and clawed for those two runs, but it was just what they needed to split the series and set up a rubber match today. Hi everyone. Thanks so much for tuning in. Alongside Chris Laroo, I’m Ben Schulman. And Chris, you had said this yesterday. It is May 18th today, but that felt like about as big of a win as you could have in the middle of May. Yeah, if if nothing else, it it’s been very fun to watch this team compete, watch this team come back from two runs down, three runs down, and it felt like that was a a game that needed to be won, especially with the with the San Diego Padres’s coming in on Tuesday, the best team in baseball currently in Toronto. That game was a gigantic win, not only in the standings, but I feel like the confidence level is a little bit higher today than it was yesterday. They now realize that they can compete with the best teams, win against the best teams, and you heard it from Ernie Clement. It’s fun knowing that you can always come back at a ball game. Blue Jays will try and add another win to their ledger today. But before we do that, let’s take a look at the Bet 365 standings.

The Yankees lost yesterday. They’re 26 and 19. Red Sox had a walk-off win of their own. Four games back at the Yankees at 23 and 24. The Blue Jays four games back as well, 22 and 23. The Rays with a win are 21 and 24. Five games back. And the Orioles took the loss yesterday. They’re now 10 and a half back of the division lead 15 and 29. All white uniforms for the Blue Jays who just got on the field. Who’s in the lineup today, Chris, for AJ Hinch’s Detroit Tigers. Well, leading off is Carrie Carpenter. He’s in right field. Batting second is Gabber Torres. He’s at second base this afternoon. Batting third is Zack McKinstry. He’s at third base. DH and cleaning up is Riley Green. At first base, batting fifth is Spencer Torqulson. Batting sixth is Trey Sweeney. He’s at shortstop. Behind the dish, batting seventh is Dylan Dingler. Batting eighth is Akquil Badu. He’s in left field. And batting ninth is Jav Bayz. He’s in center field this afternoon for the Tigers. On the mound is righty Jackson Job. For the Toronto Blue Jays, leading off and playing shortstop is Boette. Batting second is Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He’s at first base. In center field, batting third is Daltton Baro. In the cleanup spot behind the dish is Alejandro Kirk. Batting fifth is Anthony Santandere. He’s dhing. At third base, hitting sixth is Addison Barger. At second base is Ernie Clement. He’s in the seven hole. Batting eighth is Nathan Lucas. He’s in right field. And batting ninth. In left field is Jonathan Class. On the mound is righty Jose Bereios. 30-year-old Bereos, 6 foot tall from Bayon, Puerto Rico. The right-hander weighs 215 lbs, making his 10th start of the season in what’s been an up and down campaign so far. We saw him go on a nice run three, four, five starts in a row maybe where he had quality starts or put the Blue Jays in a good position. His last one though was a bit tough. Five earned runs on five hits, three walks in five and a third innings on the 13th against the Rays. He tries to do better today against the Detroit Tigers who lead off the left-handed hitter Carrie Carpenter. Blue Jays in their all whites and Major League Baseball’s best the Tigers in their all gray uniforms. Carpenter hits left. Bereio brings his hands together, kicks and offers, and the first pitch misses low. Ball one. Time of the first pitch today, 1:38 Eastern. The roof is closed at Rogers Center. 16°, but it feels a lot chillier than that with the wind. Feels like 11 right now. 10. Swing and a line drive out to right field. That’s sinking and it’s going to drop in in front of Nathan Lucas for a base hit. Carrie Carpenter is a very good hitter. He’s been very good this season, almost hitting 300 on this young season, but he takes that sinker down and away and hammers that thing to right field. A leadoff hit for the Detroit Tigers. Sinker is the main part of the mix for Jos Bereos. Slur factors in a lot as well. Also has a four seamer, a change up, and a cutter. Likely to see a handful of changes today. It’s been a good pitch for him this year, and he throws it a lot to lefties. Tigers have a lot of lefties. Pitch to Glabber Torres. He’s a right-handed hitter and he takes strike [Applause] one. Home plate dump today. Steven Yoshinsky from Burlington. Marvin Hudson the crew chief at first. Trip Gibson at second. Ryan Blakey at third. Bereios peaks over his left shoulder at the runner on first. And now the 01. Torres hits it away. Foul back behind home plate. Is a hanging slerve. Nothing and two. The biggest thing for Jos Burios I think for today is just fill up the strike zone. Throw more strikes. He’s walked 24 guys this season in just 52 innings pitched. That’s not a very good ratio. No. And much higher than he’s really been in his whole career. His O2 is swatted out to right center. Dalton Vo going toward the gap. Lucas circling behind him. Vo makes a one-handed catch and there’s one out. And I think the the interesting thing a lot like Brendan Little is there’s a lot of movement on his sinker. So if he can throw it in the strike zone, it’s a very barrel up. Start it in the strike zone. Start it almost right down the middle and let that thing work. Burrios adjusting his cap. It’s another day in the camo caps for the Blue Jays. Canadian flag on the left side. Armed forces weekend around Major League Baseball. Pitch now to Zack McKinstry. Lined left field. Base hit. Two hops and it’s into the glove of Jonathan Class. Carpenter up to second base and two singles here in three batters for Detroit. Well, that was a cutter almost right down the middle that really didn’t cut. And what a cutter that doesn’t cut becomes is essentially just a BP fast ball. Looked like a four seamer right down the middle. A cutter that was just spinning and Zack McKinry did a good job hitting that ball the other way. So early traffic for Detroit. They make a habit out of doing this. Alejandro Kirk out in front of the plate to give some signals to the defense in case there’s a double steel. It’s first and second, one out, and Riley Green, the DH, steps up. Left-handed hitter, batting .272, 11 homers. The pitch, fouled back, 0 and one. Tigers have scored first in each of the two games this series. And overall this year, they have a plus 55 run differential, innings 1 to3. They often get ahead early, and they have a good bullpen, so they don’t lose a lot of leads. That’s how they’ve won so many games. The 01 up and in. I think a good pitch here to Riley Green would be a good change up down and away. See if he can roll over one and get two quick outs and get Jose Brios back to the dugout. Bereos looks at second at Carpenter. Is 1-1. Fouled back. Elevated the heater. It’s one and two. They’re trying to pound him in. I don’t mind that either. Obviously, you need to pound these power hitters in with the fast ball, but that one leaked over the middle of the plate. Riley Green actually got a good swing on it. Luckily, he just fouled it off. Top of the first, no score. Two on for the Tigers with one out. Burio sets at the bell, looks back to second. One more look at second and the offering. Swing and a miss. He got him. Went high and outside with a fast ball. Green chased. Two down. Well, you could definitely tell that Riley Green wasn’t expecting that heater in the count right there. He was clearly expecting a slerve, probably a back foot slerve or maybe a change up. A good sequence right there from Alejandro Kirk. You could see him nodding his head, letting him know that Jose Bereos, that was a good pitch. It was the four seamer, but Bereio gets some of that natural movement, so it almost looked like a two seamer as it ran away from the bat. Now two outs, still two on. And Spencer Torqulson up the first pitch. Low ball one. This first inning is brought to you by Armstrong Bird Food. Armstrong Bird Food. The reason birds fly north, feeding Blue Jay since 1986. Visit Armstrong Birdfood.com. Infield shifted toward third base 10. Torlson started to swing, held up, and it’s called a strike on a slerve at the knees. Powerful right-handed swinger Spencer Torlson asks for time. Addison Barger playing really deep at third. Probably about two steps away from the outfield turf and he’s hugging the line. Bobette similarly deep and playing in the hole. The 1-1 driven out to right center field going back. Lucas and Vo on the track pulling up. It’s off the top of the wall in to score. Carpenter McKinstry gets the wave. He’ll score as well. A two-run double for Torlson. And again, the Tigers take an early lead. Two nothing Detroit in the first. Well, Spencer Torqulson has a lot of power and he’s been very good this season at going the other way. That was a sinker on the outer third and he just hammered that thing into the gap. Actually, not a bad pitch down and away, but again, Spencer Torqulson, so much power, so good at going the other way. He hammered that thing for an RBI and an early Tigers lead. 12th double of the year for Torlson. Team leading 36th and 37th RBI’s of the year. Pitch now to Trey Sweeney. Left-handed hitting shortstop takes outside. Ball one. Torqulson on second. Two nothing Tigers. Two outs. Top of the first. Bios with a breath comes set and the one hit in off the end of the bat. and a bouncer to third base. Barger picks it up, throws on to first to get Sweeney and ends the inning. Two runs on three hits for Detroit. Torqulson’s two-run double has it at two nothing Detroit with the Blue Jays about to hit for the first time. Bob Bashette against Jackson job.

Going back our show slips on the warning track and makes the catch. Sportset 590 the band and the sportset radio network. 22year-old Jackson takes the hill in Toronto. Two nothing Tigers as we restart in the bottom of the first inning. For Job, his eighth start of the year, 3-0 with a 432 ERA. Pitched a little out of the pen last year. This is his first season as a starter. Righty into the wind, offers to Bo Bashette. First pitch hit on the ground through the hole past the dive of the third baseman McKinstry into left. Not wasting any time, Bette jumps on a 96 mph heater and has the first Blue Jays knock today. Well, he hasn’t been wasting any time. Bobette, at least over the last couple of weeks, has been jumping all over a first pitch from any starter that he faced. That was a four seamer right down the middle and he hammered it through that hole on the left side for Job. The mix slider for seam change up sinker and curved righty set at the belt. His pitch to Vlad Guerrero Jr. in off the plate. Ball one. Pretty remarkable. Jackson Job 3 and 0 record. The Tigers have a 7-0 record when he starts for them this year. The 10 broken bat flare headed to center over the head of Torres in town for a base hit. Not quite the rocket that Bob Bashette hit, but they’re both singles. And the Blue Jays have runners on first and second after Vlad’s blue. Well, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will take that every single time. A 98 mph force seamer in on the hands like you said broke his bat and he just dumped it out in front of Jav Bayas in center field. Now the Blue Jays are in business. First and second and nobody out in this inning. Two nothing Detroit. Welcome to the Timber Mart broadcast booth. I’m Ben Schulman alongside Chris Laroo. The pitch to Dalton Vam. High ball one. Show Ali our host today. Nick Blackmore our producer. Tom Young and Austin Mackey are technical directors. Bette leading off second. Sweeney playing in between Bette and the bag. The Tigers [Applause] shortstop. The 10 high and outside. Two balls, no strikes. If you look at Jackson’s overall numbers, they’re not bad, but when you look at his walk rate, it’s a lot like Jose Bereios where you think it could be a little better. 20 walks for Jackson Job in just 33 and a3 innings. And he’s not striking out as many guys as his high velocity would suggest. 200 swing and a highf fly ball deep left field. Bedoo back at the track leaps and he made the grab. My goodness. Akil Boo up against the out of town scoreboard in left center. Makes the play. Take it away. Extra bases and there’s one down. What a play by Badu. I think the umpires are going to take a look at this one. They’re going to see if that ball actually hit the wall before it got into his glove. Maybe they’re not. I think they were waiting to see if the Blue Jays wanted to check and they do not. That saves at least a run for the Tigers. Maybe two. But D raced back, had no time to set himself, and made a backhanded catch, banging into the wall. Lost his hat on the play, but made a huge play for his young starter. So, one out, a allowed out for Job’s first of the day. Two nothing Tigers. First and second, and the pitch to Alejandro Kirk in the dirt, blocked by the catcher, Dingler. Ball one. I think because of that high walk rate that Jackson job has, you just have to be patient when you’re up there. You can’t expect him to throw anything in the strike zone, just like Dalton Bar did. He got himself in a good hitter’s count. He was ahead and he waited for a four seam fast right down the middle and he actually he smoked it. The one swinging a liner out to left. Badu coming in dives and he made the catch again. Throws back to second doubles off Boette and that will do it for the [Applause] inning. Have yourself a bottom of the first. Tequille Badu helps Job get all three outs with a leaping catch and then a diving catch coming in to start a double play. No runs for the Blue Jays on two hits. They leave one on and we go to the second. Two nothing Tigers.

[Music] Akil Bedu with a pair of sensational plays out in left field. Blanked the Blue Jays pretty much all by himself in the bottom of the first. So we head to the second in Rogers Center. Still two nothing for the visiting Tigers alongside Chris Laroo. I’m Ben Schulman. Jose Bereios back out on the hill trying to write the ship after giving up three hits and two runs in the first. He gets the bottom third of the Tiger order. Starts with the number seven hitter today for AJ Hinch. It’s the catcher Dylan Dingler right on right. Bios rocks and offers swing and a miss. Strike one.

With Bet 365, you can watch thousands of live games, build your own bet, and you can even make a bet while the game’s still being played. 19 plus play responsibly. Ontario only a one offering. Down and away with a heater. He yanked it one and one. I don’t know which play was better from Aquake Badu in that first inning. One-1 pitch. Swinging a deep drive out to left. Class backing up. turns around. It’s off the top of the fence. Coming around first base. Dingler digging for second. Slides in there with a leadoff double. Another change up. Actually, not a terrible change up. It was at the bottom of the strike zone, but Dylan Dingler just went down and gulfed it. Almost out of here. Probably about 5 ft from getting in that Blue Jays bullpen out in left field. It was just at the bottom of the zone. Probably ideally it’s below the zone entirely. So, a fourth hit already for the Tigers in this game. They had four hits total yesterday, as did the Blue Jays. Two nothing Detroit. Runner on second. And here’s the affforementioned Aquil Badoo. Right on left pitch outside and high. Ball one. I think you’re right with that change up location. I said it was a decent pitch, but looking back at that replay with one strike, you got to get that thing below the strike zone. I mean, it was a decent pitch, but it wasn’t Jeff a great pitch. probably not where he wanted it. The 10 swing and a miss. So, Akquil Badu, if you weren’t with us in the bottom of the first, it’s first and second, no outs. He just robbed a double from Dalton Vo. Varo smoked the ball to left center. Boo made a leaping catch on the run up against the wall. Didn’t have time to set himself. Jumped back as he was running to the fence. 1-1 high and outside. Two and one. That’s probably the better catch, but I don’t know what the better play is because the next batter, Kirk, lined a ball out to left. He came in, dove to catch it, popped up, and doubled off Bobette at second. The 2-1 called strike. Two and two. Just the second game of the major league season for Akil Bedu, who debuted on the 14th against Boston. Went 0 for three in that game. Two balls, two strikes. The pitch high three and two. A lot of people are probably thinking, how does Bo Bob Boishette get doubled up there? But I’m thinking if he doesn’t get off a decent amount there, he’s doubled up or he’s he’s thrown out at third base anyways if Badu comes up with that baseball but he doesn’t catch it on the fly. 3-2 pitch. Poked foul. A will pop up back behind the plate. Yeah, I guess the liner would have landed close enough to third that if Bette doesn’t have a good jump, that’s a force play for Purdue to throw over there. And he’s got a pretty good arm. We saw him throw it to second. According to baseball rule, you probably stay closer to second base because you don’t want to get doubled off. But if he doesn’t get off as much as he did, he’s thrown out at third base if Boo doesn’t come up with that baseball. 3-2 pitch again in the dirt ball four. Tossing the bat away emphatically. Badoo takes a walk. It’s first and second. Nobody out. He’s pumped up about taking that walk, isn’t he? He’s had a good game. Bad. Second rounder by the Twins in 2016. He’s had parts of a lot of seasons in the big leagues, but hasn’t had a lot of extended runs since he was rule five a couple years back by Detroit. Tough spot here. First and second, nobody out. Top of the second inning. And Jose Bereios will face his brother-in-law, center fielder for the Tigers today, Javier Bayz. Two nothing Detroit. Top of the second inning. Bayas has had a real nice series. Had the eventual game-winning homer on Friday against Chad Green. First pitch called a strike. 0 and one. They’re brothersin-law because a pair of sisters. One of them married Bereios, one married Javier Bayas. 01 called strike nothing and two. heard that when the Tigers arrived on Thursday that Jose Bereos, Javier Bayz met up later that night, went out for dinner, but they don’t talk baseball when they’re facing off. 02 lined out to shortstop caught by Bette diving back to the bag. Dingler to make sure he didn’t get doubled off, but do will scamper back to first as well. And there’s one out. That’s a big pitch right there, especially against Jav Bayz who’s been swinging the bat really well. slerve down and away for a big first out in this inning. He’s got to know him as well as anyone. Gets two strikes on him and threw a pitch that nearly bounced and got by as to swing at him. We’ve been saying that all series. When you get one strike on him, just stay out of the strike zone. He’s probably going to swing and miss at a lot of those pitches. He’s a good bad ball hitter, but you’d rather him hit a bad ball than a pitch in the zone. So, one out for Bereios looking for a ground ball to get out of this jam. First and second, two nothing Tigers. Top of the second inning, the pitch to Carrie Carpenter, low ball one. You had mentioned last time he was up what an impressive year Carpenter has had. Up to 299 now after his first inning single. His numbers against right-handed pitching are incredible. 10 pitch. Lefty hitter drives it fouled deep down the left field line into the 200 level seats. You look at Carrie Carpenter coming into today against right-handed pitching, batting 320 with an on base plus slugging above 900. If you had those numbers overall, you’re one of the best hitters in all of baseball. But he really does struggle against the same sided pitchers, the lefties, batting 194 within on base plus slugging just above 600. doesn’t play a ton against lefties because of it, but in today against the right-hander Jose Bereios. Bereios looks at second and the 1-1. Lifted to center field, fairly shallow left center. Dalton Vo charges in, makes the catch with one hand, and there are two [Applause] [Music] outs. Another cutter kind of just right down the middle. doesn’t have a great feel for that pitch yet. Little BP fast ball. I think he got lucky there that Carrie Carpenter missed [Music] that. Two outs, two on. First and second with Dingler on second and Boo on first. And the former New York Yankee bearded infielder Glabber Torres is up. Open stance right side. Burios rocks and offers swing and a foul tip. Strike one. That big beard almost looks like a Halloween costume just because I’m so used to not seeing him with a beard that seeing him with a beard is shocking. First year not being a Yankee for Torres who was with the Bronx Bombers from 18 to 24. Had some huge years, especially early in his career. Took over at shortstop and in 2019 he hit 38 home runs. Three other 20 homer seasons for Glaver Torres. But there were some defensive concerns. The 01 check swing pitch down and away. Appeal to first. No swings says Marvin Hudson. One ball, one strike. And they had Anthony Vulpi come up. And then they make the deal last year for Jazz Chisum. And there was maybe just a little bit of friction on Torres not really wanting to go over to third base. They had Chisum go over and so that seemed to be the writing on the wall when Chisum was brought in. The 1-1 fouled away. one and two. The awkward thing though for the Yankees and Torres is he had a tough start to the year. He actually came up big for them though in the playoff run when they went to the World Series a handful of times, but he along with Juan Sodto ending up leaving New York. Klay Holmes, a couple other guys leaving the Yankees. The one two down and away, two balls, two strikes. He’s always been a solid player though for sure. You know, sometimes things get put under a lot of the times things get put under a microscope in New York and you focus on some of the things he didn’t do well and you forget that this guy’s a really good power hitter, especially for a middle infielder. 2-2 hit on the ground is shortstop. Bette goes to his left. Underhand flip to Clement at the bag. Clement stops on second. It ends the inning. Good job salvaging by Bereio after the double and walk to start the inning. No runs on a hit. Two left for the Tigers. Two nothing Detroit. Middle of the second. You’re listening to Blue Jays baseball. Brought to you by your local family-owned Crown Rust Control Center.

It’s Blue Jays 5 Mariners Nothing in the Third on Sportset 590 in the band and the Sportset radio network. Anthony Shantire digging in for the Blue Jays. Bottom of the second at Rogers Center. I’m Ben Schulman alongside Chris Laroo. Two nothing the Tigers lead the Blue Jays. And Santandere back in there. Did not start either of the last two games for the Blue Jays, but he’s making his customary hole in the lefty box as the switch hitter bats for the first time today. Santandere dhaging. Jackson Job on the hill are throwing righty winds and delivers. Swing and a miss. Strike one. It’s been a turbulent week. Santandere had to miss some time after he flipped over the short wall trying to make a catch in Anaheim. Hurt his shoulder. Next pitch outside one and one. Then he came back but then the shoulder they said was a little bit quote cranky again. And then yesterday they had mentioned a left hip impingement. 1-1 fouled back one and two. But he was hidden in the cage yesterday. Came in got intentionally walked so he didn’t face a pitch in the ninth yesterday. and in there as a starter today and he’s taken two very big hacks in this at bat so far looks healthy to me the one two popped up near third circling under Zack McKinstry makes the catch beside the bag one out and he was actually yelling time time as Job was in his wind up I’m sure he’s going to say something to the home plate umpire here yeah they’re about to have a chat that’s too bad for him you could see he was fighting to stay on that breaking ball from Job because he wasn’t ready. Job was going pretty quick with Santandere and it it wasn’t a heated discussion but he made sure to tell Steven Yoshinsky after one out pitch to Addison Barger outside ball one. This is the kind of matchup that makes you focus in just a little bit extra. Power on power job against Barger. The 10 swing and a foul off the home plate of Yoshinsky who stumbled back for a moment caught by Dingler who still has a hand on his back. One and one. That’s 97 middle in and Addison Barger as he never does not get cheated on that pitch. I like this matchup here. Jackson Job’s liable to leave one over the middle of the plate. See if Addison Barger can run into one. One-1 swing and a miss. Big hack on a good pitch. a back foot slider at 93 for Jackson job. One and two. This is the kind of Arsenal that got Jackson Job drafted third overall in 2021 at a Heritage High School in Oklahoma City. The one two down and in. Two balls, two strikes. That is violent action on that slider. Really good back foot slider there. You can tell like he’s not a full package yet, but if you can if he can harness all of his pitches, he’s going to be really good one day. 22 cut on and miss. Strike three pulled the string with a change up at 85. More than 10 mph slower than the Heater. And that’s his first strike out today. Number 22, Ernie Clement. Let’s welcome our future announcer presented by Rogers. 10-year-old Gabby from Windsor announcing Ernie Clemens. Two outs in the pitch. Chopped slowly to third. Charging in McKinstry. Going to be a close play. Throw on to first. Skips, but a good pick on the forehand side by Torqulson to end the inning. One, two, three for Job. Two nothing Tigers after two innings.

Double play on Sportsnet 590. the van and the Sports Net Radio Network. Third inning in downtown Toronto. Two nothing is the score in favor of the Tigers. Top of the third starts with Zack McKinstry leading off. He made the last play on the ground out to end the bottom of the second. Bereio’s pitch hit foul off of Alejandro Kirk who slams the glove into his left thigh. I think that got him on the tips of the fingers. Maybe it’s 0 and one. Alongside Chris Laroo, I’m Ben Schulman. There is a buzz around downtown Toronto today for sure. Can’t tell you why, Chris. Because this is the rubber match of this series. Best team in baseball in town. The 01 high and outside. One ball, one strike. I thought traffic was going to be horrendous coming into the city. I breezed right through the gardener. I was shocked. I think on your way home you’re going to have some more problems. I know people are going the other way to you, but I think it’s going to be a bit of a mess. The 1-1 high and outside two and one. Now, if I’m not mistaken, puck drop is 7:30 for what game? I don’t. Leafs and Panthers game seven coming up from downtown Toronto tonight. The people are excited. The Leafs have a great history in game sevens. Burios is 2-1. Hit on the ground at first. Two hops into the glove of Guerrero right near the line and he jogs to first base. Steps on the bag. One out. That was the first good cutter that Jose Mario has thrown today. He hit his spot. Alejandro Kirk was set up up and in. It had good movement on it. Good late life and got the result he wanted. and the first time today that he gets the first batter of an inning. Gave up leadoff hits in both the first and second, a single and a double respectively. So, one out, base is empty, and the dangerous Riley Green is up to the [Music] plate. Fifth overall pick in 2019, bearded left-handed hitter DH is today. Burios offers home inside ball one. Green had a very rare quiet day at the plate yesterday. Went 0 for four, three strikeouts and flyed out into a double play. 10 fouled back one and one. If you’re wondering how he flyed out into a double play, it was in the ninth. Nathan Lucas caught a ball in the left field corner and then threw out Glaver Torres trying to tag from first and advance to second. The 1-1 driven out to left center. Varso tracking it down. It sinks and bounces in front of him for a base hit. That’s just tough luck right there for Jos Bereio. Made a good pitch. 94 in on the hands of Riley Green. But as we’ve seen so often this season, he’s so strong. He’s able to muscle that ball out into center field right in front of Daltton Bara. Green didn’t reach yesterday. It was the first time that he hadn’t been on base since April 27th. Back on base today. He’s on first and Torqulson is up. Two nothing Tigers. Top of the third. One out. Burios leaning forward to the plate. Looks at first and now sets. First pitch hit on the ground to short. This could be two. Bette picks it up. Underhand flip to second. Clement over to first. Inning ending 643. Double play. Jos Bereios settling in. Back-to-back scoreless frames. And now the Blue Jays trying to get some momentum going with the bats. Two nothing Tigers. Middle of the third.

That’ll make it one ball, one strike. Next offering lined left field. Boo started in, now backs up, makes the catch. Don’t want to hit it anywhere near that guy today. One out. That one a little bit easier than his first two catches. But if nothing else, Jackson Job is really fun to watch. A lot of power and the best part about it is he’s young and he has his whole career ahead of him if he can really start to command those pitches. only 22 years old. Hasn’t even pitched a ton professionally cuz he’s dealt with some injuries over the last couple years. Brought up late last season to go in the pen. Pitched to Jonathan Class A high ball one and confident out there. He is a really confident dude for not having much time in this league. The one swinging a miss one and one from Texas. went to high school in Oklahoma, Heritage Hall High School. Sports alums like Barry Sanders, Wes Welker, Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard. Now he misses inside to Class A. Two balls, one strike. He really broke out in his final year at Heritage Hall as a senior in 2021. Won a state championship. 2-1 pitch is hit high in the air deep center field. Bayz back at the track, stops on the edge of the dirt, makes the catch. Two down. I thought he just ran into one. That was a hanging slider from Joe Jonathan Class. Put a really nice swing on it. Jav Bayz catches that thing about 5 ft from the wall in center field. So, two down and welcome to the Timber Mart broadcast booth. Timberart always has someone on deck to help you with any home improvement projects. Before you begin renovating, visit the team at Timbermart. They’ve got the knowhow to make sure you come out swinging on your next project. Timbermart, Canada’s building center. I’m Ben Schulman alongside Chris Laroo. Two nothing Tigers. Two outs pitched to Bob Bashette. Called a strike. Even though his strike to ball ratio isn’t that good right now, Job went through the first nine batters in 25 pitches. Next pitch to Bette. Called a strike again. A little bit shaky with that command, but I think he’s just making good pitches when he really has to. That’s the difference. Now 17 strikes to 10 balls. 02 bounced one ball, two strikes, which sounds pretty good, but he had thrown three straight strikes to get it to that. It was 14 strikes to 10 balls before. Two hits for the Blue Jays against Job. One of them was Bo Bashette. One, two check swing on a slider down and away. Two balls, two strikes. [Music] I might be wrong saying this, but Jackson Job looks like a reliever to me. He doesn’t strike me as a starter. Everything is violent. Everything is max effort. Swinging a miss on the 22 and he strikes out bow on a fast ball to end the inning. Jackson Job has retired the last eight that he has faced and he’s kept the Blue Jays bats quiet so far. Two nothing Detroit after three innings.

Jose Burios to Trey Sweeney hit foul off the end of the bat dribbling toward the third base dugout 0 and one. I’m Ben Schulman alongside the former Marlin Pirate and Yankee Chris Laru. Blue Jays trailing two nothing to the Tigers. Top of the fourth, the 01 swing and a drive out to right center. Varso going back near the track. Makes a running catch just before the dirt. Nice play. One out. Never a doubt out there with Dalton Bar. Not a tough play for him. I thought that ball had a chance to drop. Dalton Bar with the easy catch out in right center. [Music] It just feels like if you don’t clear the wall, you’re in trouble. D Bar tracking down the baseball. One out and Dylan Dingler is up. Infield shifts to the third base side for the pull happy right-handed hitter. The pitch lifted to the right side. Foul territory giving Chase Nathan Lucas that drops into the club 328 standing area. Foul 0 and one. Have you been down to club 328? Not during a game, of course, but I went uh on the Roger Center tour, so I got to go in there then and try out some of the food. If you watch the news, you might have seen me drop a hot dog on myself in there that got left in. Wait, is that true? Online find it 100%. Thanks, Lindsay. Done. 01 pitch. Swinging a miss. 0 and2. I need to pull that up. I’ll send it to you. But no, it is cool. I like the giant Plinko and the baseball card wall. I’m a sucker for something like a baseball card wall. One out the O2 to Dingler. Check swing. Pitch in the dirt. A peel down to first. No swing. Quickly signaled by Marvin Hudson. One and two. And you feel really close to the playing field. You’re standing actually standing on the field. Well, not on the field, but field level. So you feel like you can yell at the players and say whatever you want to say. Hopefully all nice things today. Not that I condone that. I don’t condone that type of behavior. The one two down and away. Two balls, two strikes. Yeah, you’re probably you’re looking through chain link or some netting. You’re probably what, 100 ft from Nathan Lucas, the right fielder, depending on where you’re standing. The two lined left field base hit cut off in the gap by Class. He races over there and tosses it back into Clement at second, limiting Dingler to a single, but it’s a two-hit day for Dylan Dingler. Dingler hammered that ball to left field. That was a sinker. They caught it a little bit too much of the plate. They were trying to back door it on the black outside, but it ran back over the middle of the plate and Dingler didn’t miss it. He has been really impressive between Job and Dingler. You’re looking at a battery that could be dangerous for Detroit for a long time. Dingler on first. Techquil Bedu is up and the pitch outside and low. Ball one. Akil Bedu, left-handed hitter, 26 years old from Silver Spring, Maryland. [Music] The 10 hit on the ground sharply to second. Clement up with it. Slings it over to second for one. Bette to first off the top of Vlatty’s glove. It bounces off the front fence of the first base dugout to stay in play. So, it’ll be a fieldielder’s choice. It was a high throw. Perhaps Guerrero could have brought it in. We’ll have a better idea when we see a replay. There are two outs and Badu replaces Dingler at first. So while Badu hit that ball really hard to Ernie Clement at second base and that’s really the only way you have a chance to double up. Badu has a ton of speed, but Bo Bashette had to deal with Dingler. I think that’s that’s interference. You could see Dingler in the replay kind of make a little banana run to second base. Blue Jays should have taken a look at that. It’s a little oldfashioned baseball from Dylan Dingler. I don’t hate it. Putting his body on the line there now with two outs. Spoo on first. Two nothing Tigers. Top of the fourth. The pitch to Javier Bayz. Swinging a miss. Got him to chase below the zone. And no reason to put one in the zone now. Ahead nothing and one. What do you think he’s thinking here? He’s probably thinking, “Hey man, come on. We’re family. Throw a fast ball. Let’s go.” You’re not getting one in the zone. That’s for sure. Step off. Throw to first. Hesitation by Boo, but he dove back in. Vlad put that tag on and immediately looked in the Blue Jays dugout. I’m sure they’re at least thinking about taking a look here. John Schneider twirls the finger around says play on. But played 21 games at TripleA this year. He did steal four bases, was only caught once. Bereios looks over at him. Now [Applause] sets the 01 swing and a soft liner up the middle. Leaping catch by Ernie Clement to end the inning. No runs, one hit, one left for the Tigers. Two nothing Detroit. Middle of the fourth. You’re listening to Blue Jays baseball. Brought to you by your local family-owned Crown Rust Control Center. Streaming at sportsnet.ca and the Sportsnet Radio Network.

Hi, this is Bowen Francis and you’re listening to Toronto Blue Jays baseball on Sports Net Radio Network and the Cranberry Glaze. Welcome to the Timberart broadcast booth. Ben Schulman and Chris Laru on hand. Show Ali our host Nick Blackmore producer. Tom Young, Austin Mackey, the technical directors. Bottom of the fourth. Two nothing Tigers. The pitch to Vlad Guerrero Jr. called a ball. Looked like it got the outside edge at 98. It’s 1 and0. Guerrero looped a single to center in the first inning. The one low two balls and no strikes. He did lose a bat in the process as he broke his bat on the contact, but that’s the last base runner the Blue Jays have had with nobody out in the first. It’s now bottom of the fourth. The two- pitch down and away ball [Applause] three. And a big key so far for Jackson Job. He has not walked a batter yet. Walked five in his last start and eight over the last two total. Three 0 pitch down and in ball four. And Guerrero takes a four pitch walk.

Two big series deciding games in Toronto today of equal importance. [Music] Blue Jays have a suite for that game, I’ve heard. And I believe most, if not all of the Blue Jays players will go. The 01 popped up back behind the plate. Foul out of play into the seats. Nothing in two. Ben, I’ve heard that Blue Jays broadcasters are not invited to that game. So, just so you know, so you don’t show up. You didn’t get the text to go to the suite. It’s bummer for you. I’ll be enjoying the I don’t know. What are you getting the sweet? Lasagna. Something else. [Applause] No balls and two strikes. Stalton Varo at the plate. Left-handed hitters 0 for one, but should have a double if not for a leaping catch at the wall by Akil Badu. 02 pitch. Broken bat flare out to right field. It’s trouble. It’s down. Tight rope in the chalk. Glatty around second headed to third. Bario slides into second with the double. And that’s baseball. He smoked the ball in the first, didn’t get credit. This time he snaps his bat and he’s got a double. It’s second and third for the Blue Jays. Nobody out. He’ll take that all day long. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. did a good job waiting to see if that ball would drop. It did. He ends up getting to third base and Daltton Vo’s at second base. You put your faith in the baseball gods. They eventually deliver and they did there for Vo giving him the double he deserved earlier. For Varo, it’s his third double of the year. And doubles in back-to-back games. Wouldn’t you want two doubles in a ball game, though? For sure. But you can’t get greedy. Infield back pitch to Alejandro Kirk is down and away ball one. Second and third for Toronto. No outs. Trailing two nothing. Bottom of the fourth. We’ll get to the out of town scoreboard in terms of baseball scores in a little bit. Ground ball probably scores a run with the infield back. Next pitch down and away ball, too. Things snowballing a little bit here in the fourth inning for Job. Four pitch walk to Vlatty and then a little unlucky there gives up the bloop double to Vara. Job offers to Kirk inside ball three. And this is really the the Jackson job that’s the 2025 Jackson job. 20 walks coming into the ball game in just 33 and a3 innings. You can see why he has that high walk rate. His three 0 called strike 97 on the outside edge. Looked like Kirk was taken all the way. [Music] Now the 3-1 chopped on the ground and through the left side. A base hit. Guerrero scores. Vario had to wait for it to get out of the infield. He’ll go to third. Hits an RBI single for Alejandro Kirk and it’s two to one for the Tigers in the bottom of the fourth. I’m pretty sure Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was going on contact. Saw that ball hit the ground and took off to home plate. A good job from him. But you’re right, Donald Barsho had to wait around second base to see if Trace Trace Sweeney would catch that baseball. Good job from him. He waits and ends up at third base. That’ll prompt a mound visit. The young starter Jove getting a talking to here with runners on first and third. Nobody out and Anthony Santandere about to hit. 2-1 Tigers bottom four. We can do some baseball scores on the out of town scoreboard outside of the Leaf game. Tight one on a rivalry weekend series between the Red Sox and the Braves. It’s a 4-4 ball game in the top of the fourth at Fenway Park. Right now, Raphael Devers has homered on his second straight day. He hit a grand slam in the third inning off Spencer Schwallenbach for all four Red Sox runs. It’s been a little more spread out so far for Atlanta. Two hits for Ferdo, two for Riley. RBI’s by Riley, Ozuna, Baldwin, and Alby’s. 4-4 game at Fenway. Two-1 game for the Tigers here in Rogers Center. First and third for the Blue Jays. Varo on third. Kirk on first. No outs. And Anthony Santon dared to hit. Corners are in. Middle infield is back. The pitch. Call to strike. Change up at the knees. That’s actually a pretty good change up from Job. A lot of movement through that thing right to the bottom of the strike zone. Big separation from the fast ball. That one 86 rather than the 97. He throws with the heater. A one high heat at 96. One ball, one strike. 16 RBI so far this year for Anthony Santandere. Drove in 102 last year, 95 the year before that. The 1-1 foul tipped through the change again. Got him out in front. One and two. That one wasn’t as good. That was a little bit of a floater. Floated through that strike zone. Anthony Santandere was just a little bit out in front and just missed it. Santandere taps the far edge of the plate. Switch hitter. Batting left. The one two line right field hooking foul into the netting. He was all over that pitch, wasn’t he? It’s a 96 mph force seamer elevator and he got out in front of that. He has the unique ability to get ahead sometimes on high velocity heaters. It almost seems like he’s guessing. Very well could be. Another one too check swing pitch down and in. Appeal to third. No swing. He almost went, but he yanked the hands back last second. Two balls, two strikes. He almost went and that ball almost hit him. Actually, that would have been the rare time where you swing at a ball that hits you right in the [Applause] thigh. Strike zone struggles here for Jackson Job. He’s got a walk in this inning. Allowed two hits on the day. He’s thrown 26 strikes and 21 balls. is 2-2 powered foul. A pitch in off the plate and Santandere sends it up to the fans in the 500 level seats down the right field line. One of those foul balls that maybe only he and Dalton Vo are going to hit at this ballpark. That section will not get another foul ball this year from a lefty. 2-2 outside ball three stepped across the plate as he tracked that pitch. Full count. Pretty good AB so far from Santandere. Looks comfortable up there. Looks confident. John Schneider has described him as a feel hitter, a rhythm hitter, and he hasn’t established it yet. 3-2 swing and a miss. He got him. Went back to the change. Had him out in front. One down. Really good time to throw that change up. I’ve said this before. If you if you feel comfortable throwing that change up, a 3-2 count is a perfect time to throw it. Most hitters are expecting a fast ball in that count. It’s a massive first out for Jackson Job. Keeping the runners on first and third. It’s 2-1 Detroit. One out. Bottom of the [Music] fourth. Addison Barger to the plate. He was the first strikeout victim for Job today. First of three. The pitch outside and high. Ball one. [Applause] Although Barger did strike out in the second, part of his development so far this year is he’s striking out a fair bit less than he did last year. The 10 outside 2 and 0. It’s a big count here. You don’t want to get antsy. You don’t want to get jumpy if you’re Addison Barger. If that pitch, if that fast ball is not in the middle of the plate or on the inner third, do not swing the bat. [Music] Kirk on first, Varo on third. Corners in middle infield back. The 200 lifted high into foul territory. First base side playable for Torlson who makes the catch leaning towards the netting. Both runners have to hold. Then a big second out for Job. Two down. [Music] went after a slider there in on the hands. So, as it did a couple times yesterday, a big moment slides into the lap of Ernie Clement. First and third, two outs. The Blue Jays have one run in this inning, but considering the first three batters reached, they’ll probably feel like it’s not a win unless they can at least scratch one more across. Again, 2-1 Detroit. First and third, Kirk on first. Faro on third. Two outs in the pitch to Ernie Clement. Hit on the ground. Pass the dive of the third baseman. Mckinstry into left field. A base hit. Baro comes home. Kirk up to second. There’s your second run. It’s a two-2 game in the fourth thanks to Ernie Clement. RBI single. How about that for Ernie Clemen. Stay hot, kid. Just gets a slider over the middle of the plate. Doesn’t try to do too much with it. That’s the best part about Ernie Clement’s swing. He knows what he can do and he drills it through the hole on the left side for a big run in this ball game. 10th RBI of the year for Ernie Clement. Blue Jays have come back to make it 2-2 after the first inning. Two nothing deficit. Kirk on second, Clement on first and the pitch to Lucas. Called high 50/50 pitch goes the Blue Jays way. Ball one. Lucas had good contact in the third, lined out to left field. 10 high 2 and 0 and just quietly putting together a really nice season at the plate. 254 average, mid700s on base plus slugging. When you’re looking at bottom third of your order, those are really strong numbers. Swinging a miss on the 2 out in front on the change. Two and one. The only thing better than a 3-2 change is a 200 change. That was perfection right there from Jackson Job. Used the change effectively this inning for sure. But the Blue Jays have got to him. Three hits and two runs in this inning. The two-1 pitch called to strike. Two and two. [Applause] Lucas steps out of the lefty box. Little half swing and now he’s back in there. The 2- two chopped to third base. Sunday hop for Zack McKinstry who picks it up head high and jogs over to third base to end the inning. The Blue Jays tie it up with a pair of runs on three hits. It all started with a Varo double. Kirk had a shingle as did Ernie Clement to make it 2-2 after four.

The fifth inning is brought to you by Dejardan Insurance. Get insurance that’s really big on care at dejardan.com/care today. Fresh ball game after a two-run bottom of the fourth by the Blue Jays. It’s 2-2 Toronto and Detroit as Jos Burio strides onto the hill to start the top of the fifth. Top of the order and the pitch to Carrie Carpenter outside ball one. This a big shutdown inning for Jos Bereios. The offense was able to get back in this ball game and now your job is to throw up a zero. The 10 rolled over foul. One and [Applause] one. After Carpenter hits, we’ll go over quickly to the St. Louis Bar and Grill out of town scoreboard. Briio twists and offers. This one’s lifted out to center. Routine for Dalton Vo. Jogging over to left center. He makes the play. One out. On the St. Louis Bar and Grill out of town scoreboard, Texas and Houston, one of the rivalry weekend matchups. Jack Lighter got the start today for Texas took a no hitter into the seventh inning with two outs in the top of the seventh. Yandi Diaz with a solo home run. It’s three to one Texas over Houston as Lighters still outdueling Valdez right now. That seems like it’s been a pretty fun weekend for them. I think so. Great pitching match ups in that series throughout. for Rio steals to Glaver Torres and Annie hit a hit Torres and then ricocheted off Kirk and Torres’s head sagged down for a moment. Wasn’t quite sure where that caught him. Maybe in the left hip. Either way, he has first base. Oh no, it got him higher. More in the chest area. That’s a weird place to get hit. Right in the right chest it looked like. Or maybe the center of the chest. That can’t feel good. It’s a place that can only get hit because of the run on Burios’s fastball. Really? It has to sneak around your hip and then curl into your chest. So Torres on first base, one out and Zack McKinstry up left-handed hitting third baseman. Burios offers outside ball one. Other out of town scoreboard updates. Just been a tough run of games for the Baltimore Orioles. Down 8 nothing today in the fourth inning to the Washington Nationals. Washington scored six in the second on Zack Efflin of all their pitchers. They’ve had the struggles, but Efflin’s really been the best one for them so far. Maybe Sugano a little ahead. 10 pitch fouled back by McKinstry. One and one. It just feels like things have turned from bad to worse in Baltimore. In Miami, it’s the Rays and the Marlins. Believe the Rays shut out the Marlins yesterday and early on they’re doing it again today. It’s one- nothing Tampa Bay. Bottom of the fourth, but the Marlins have seven hits already and are threatening in that fourth inning. 1-1. McKinstry swings and misses. One ball, two strikes. Those are all the AL East scores going on right now. And Boston Atlanta is still 44 at Fenway. with the Braves loading the bases. One, two. Popped up. Foul to the left by McKinstry. Out of play. Still one ball, two strikes. I think the the a Yankees Rays rivalry weekend would have been good too in Tampa because battle for Stein Burner. Yeah, the battle for Steinbrer playing at the Yankees Springfield or spring training complex. One, two again. Swinging a miss. He got him. slerve down low and for Bereios his second strike out today. Two outs in the top of the fifth. That’s a good pitch. You could tell that José Burios outside of hitting Gabber Torres has really found that release point found the command of all his pitches. That last slur was very good below the strike zone. Two- two game, two outs. Torres on first and Riley Green at the plate. Burios’s first pitch. Lined right field. Base hit. This could be trouble. It’s rolling toward the track. Sliding. It’s stopped by Lucas. Offers it back into Clement. That will stop the lead runner. Torres at third. Up to second goes Green with a double, but it could have been a run if not for Lucas. Making a good play out in right. Nathan Lucas has played very well out in the outfield so far over the last week or so. Has made some nice plays in left field and a very big play there. I think if that ball gets to the fence, I’m pretty sure Glaver Torres scores the third run of the ball game for the Detroit Tigers. A great play from Nathan Lucas out there. While he was sliding, it actually popped up out of his glove, but in one motion, he grabbed it, spun around while standing up and fired it right to Clement. The lead cut off. Second and third though for the Tigers. Two outs. Spencer Torqulson up and the pitch. Slurve called a strike. Caught the knees. 0 and one. And now you have to get nasty. And if you’re Alejandro Kirk, you got to be a wall back there. Can’t let anything get by you. Torlson with a two-run double in the first. Responsible for both Tigers runs today. A one downstairs with a slur. One ball, one strike. And keep in mind, they do have that open base at first base. So you don’t have to throw Spencer Tolson anything in the strike zone if you don’t want to. Rios brings his hands together at the belt. A look at second at Green and the 1-1. Swing and a miss. Went right back into the dirt with the slur. Good block by Kirk. One and [Music] two. And you know Spencer Torqulson is thinking there’s no way he throws me another slur here. Three in a row to start this at bat. No time like the present to throw another one. Torres on third base, Green on second. Blue Jays just tied it up in the bottom of the fourth. It’s 2-2 top of the fifth with two outs. The one-two slerve in the dirt this time. Torqulson lays off. Two balls, two strikes. It’s all a game up there. Cat and [Music] mouse. Now, he wouldn’t throw a fifth in a row. Well, I think Spencer Tolson is now thinking because he throw through four in a row, he probably could throw five in a row. That’s when you throw a sinker right up at the hands. Burrio set the two- two swing and a miss. He got him through the change down and in to strike out Torqulson and Strand a pair in scoring position. Tie ball game 22 middle of the fifth.

Two-2 ball game. Bottom of the fifth in the rubber match between the Blue Jays and the Tigers. Number nine hitter Jonathan Class leads off the pitch from Jackson Joe. Fast ball freezes him. Strike one. Welcome to the Timbermart broadcast booth. I’m Ben Schulman alongside former major league pitcher Chris Laroo. The 01 called strike nothing and two. It’s been a slow start to the major league campaign of class A two for 22 to begin his year. The switch hitter typically more on base and slugging as a lefty, more average as a righty. Batting left now he takes a pitch in the dirt. One ball, two strikes. At least that’s how it played out for him last year in his year split between Tacoma and Buffalo and Seattle and Toronto. I just want to see him get on base because we haven’t really seen him kind of let loose on the bases yet. He had a 15 stolen bases in TripleA this season for the Bison. One two pitch looped out to left center charging in Bayz. It’s down in front of him and Boo. Badu will field it and Jonathan Class is on base to start the bottom of the fifth. I mean, that’s that’s the way to do it right there. Really tough pitch, a change up down below the strike zone. Jonathan Claus does a good job with that two strike approach and just dumps it out into center field. But with Boette up, I don’t know if you steal in this situation. We’ll see. Mark Budzinski back at first base for the Blue Jays today coaching. He talked to Class A. Now the pitch to Bette. Called a strike 0 and one. We haven’t had official word. I don’t know if Class would have an all the time green light to steal because he’s so prolific or if he wouldn’t because he’s so inexperienced yet. Step off, throw to first and a dive back in by Class A who was turned facing second base before that pickoff attempt. Well, you know, Jackson Job has looked at the scouting report. He knows that Jonathan Class A can run. So, they’re going to keep an eye on him over there. He has a big lead right now. Facing second again, the 01. He takes off on the pitch and it’s fouled off to the right. Nothing in two. He had that base stolen too. He went right away as Job started to move. Lost his helmet in the process. Bett looked like actually tried to hold up on a pitch that was going to be a strike. Maybe he was trying to give Claus the opportunity to steal, but it just hit his bat on the check swing. I’ve been waiting two weeks for that. Thanks a lot, Bo Bashette. Maybe he’ll do it on two strikes. 02 count, nobody out. Two-2 game with Class A on first. Pitch to Bette. Outside ball one. That’s a good pitch right there. That had the zone. If Dingler is set up on the outside part, that’s about as good as it gets right on the black. Bette one for two today. A single and a strikeout swinging. One-two offering down and away. Two balls, two strikes. No one throwing, but there’s a little stretching in the bullpen in right field for the Tigers. Job set just above the belt. The 2-2 Class A takes off. Pitches low ball. Throw down to second. Not in time. No tag applied by the second baseman. Torres as Class dives in head first with his first stolen base of the year. Just like that, a great jump, a great take from Bo Bashette, too on a pretty good pitch below the strike zone. But Jonathan Class, everything I’ve been waiting for. Steals that base with ease. He’s like the Road Runner. His feet get going real quickly and then he just blasts off towards second. He’s in scoring position. And now a full count for Bette. The payoff pitch outside and low. Ball four. Bobette takes a walk first and second for the Blue Jays with nobody out and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. coming up. How about that at bat from Bobette taking some tough pitches with two strikes. I guess Jonathan Claus didn’t have to steal second base. He would have been standing at second base regardless. I’d imagine he won’t think about stealing third. With a hitter up right now for the Blue Jays, it’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr. who’s one for one with a single and a walk today. Also a run scored. the pitch off the end of the bat. He fouls it off the catcher Digler. Nothing and one. I think that if if Jonathan Claus had the green light at first base, he most certainly does not have the green light at second base, especially in this [Applause] situation. Two-2 game, no out spot. Five step off throwback to second. Head first dive by Claw. Torres was sneakily creeping in behind him, but Claus A had the speed to get back. So, attention turns back to Guerrero, who in the first inning extended his on base streak to 19 games. He’s now got 22 hits in 14 walks in those 19 games, being on base 36 times. 01 hits the zone at the knees. Nothing in two. That’s the one right there. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. knows he missed that pitch. Little bit of frustration after that pitch was called a strike. It was low, but in terms of east to west, it was right in the middle of the zone with the [Applause] sinker. The O2 way high, one ball, two [Music] strikes. Lass on second, Bette on first. And the one two swinging bunt near first base. Job fields underhand flip to first. Both runners advance. There’s one out. Effectively a sacrifice from Guerrero. Yeah, obviously you want your your best hitter to come up with a big base hit there. But not a bad little half bunt there, whatever you want to call it. Moves the runners up to second and third now with one out. There were definitely worse ways that could have turned out. Blue Jays get runners on second and third now for Dalton Vo. Left-handed hitter is one for two today with a double and a run scored. Infield coming in and the pitch swinging a liner caught at second. Torres throw back to second. Bashette is in there and there are two down. It’s tough break for Vo. He tagged that ball but to the absolute wrong spot right at the head of Glaver Torres, the second baseman. That was an easy play for Glabber Torres. And you could see the Detroit Tigers kind of that was a late call by AJ Hinch to bring their infield in. They were all just kind of running at the very last second towards that infield grasp. But a good call by the the guys in that Detroit Tiger dugout. So the Blue Jays will need a hit here or at least Kirk to score a run. First pitch is popped up. Foul headed toward the first base dugout. That one is going to drop into the seats. It’s 0 and one. Yeah, it’s interesting to think if they didn’t get in in time, would that ball have got to Torres? Would it have hooked past him? We don’t know. Eileen, he still would have caught it, but maybe a one hopper. Yeah, and that could have changed it. Maybe a run comes in. Second and third. Class on third, Bette on second. Two outs and the 01 to Kirk. Chopped to third base into foul territory. It’s fielded by McKinstry. Long throw skips over to first in time to end the inning. First two reads for the Blue Jays, but they strand a pair in scoring position. No runs on a hit, two left. Two two game after five.

Two- two ball game. Blue Jays and Tigers alongside Chris Laru. I’m Ben Schulman. Welcome to the Timbermart broadcast booth. Blue Jays had a big opportunity to score in the fifth. Could not. Now they’ll try to keep it tied with Bereos back out on the hill in the sixth. Right-hander starts with Trey Sweeney. The short stop for Detroit and the pitch outside. Ball one. Sweeny 0 for two today. Ground out to third. Line out to center. Waggles the bat above his left shoulder and the 10. Popped up. Foul third base side over the dugout way into the seats. 0 and one, pardon me, one and one. Trey Sweeney, 20th overall pick by the Yankees in 2021 out of Eastern Illinois University. 1-1 takes a slurf just off the plate down and in. Two balls, one strike. Alejandro Kirk did everything he could to to try to frame that baseball and he dipped his head in disappointment that that ball wasn’t called a strike. The 2-1 flipped in the air to left calling for it. Class right in the center of left field. He makes the catch with one hand and there’s one out. Let’s go over to the St. Louis Spar and Grill out of town scoreboard. 2-2 in this game. some other AL scores. It’s 8 to1 for the Nationals against the Orioles. Potential trade guy now coming up at the deadline. Cedric Mullins with a solo homer. His ninth of the year for Baltimore. But still 8 to1 Nats. It’s 74 Braves over Red Sox at Fenway. That one in the sixth. Bios with one out. Offers to Dylan Dingler. Called strike. It’s a three-run fifth inning. Three in the fifth for the Braves. Michael Harris bases loaded walk. Eli White single. Nick Allen sack fly gave the Braves the lead over the Red Sox. Next pitch to Dingler. Check swing. It was outside. Appeal down to first. No swing. It’s one and one. And the other AL score, Tampa Bay and Miami. The Marlins have taken the lead. Otto Lopez, Canadian, and of course spent time with the Blue Jays. Hit a three-run homer to give Miami a 31 lead. Next pitch to Dingler. Runs inside. He jumps back out of the way. Two balls in one strike. It’s always nice to see Otto Lopez doing well for sure. Getting a big opportunity with Miami last couple years. Two-1 pitch lined by Dingler down in center field. That’s his third hit today. How about Dingler? He is just so good. So confident up there. Another hard hit, too. Hit that ball right on the line up the middle. Tigers have eight hits today. He has nearly half of them. And he entered the game hitting 270. All of our out of town scores were brought to you by St. Louis Bar and Grill. One out top of the sixth. 2-2 Blue Jays and Tigers with Dingler on first. Akquil Bedu is up. The left-handed hitter swings at the first pitch. Lines it out to center. Dalton Verso jogging to his right. Makes the catch on the well struck ball. Two down as Jos Burios continues to work in the sixth. It’s been huge that he has pitched this deep into the ball game. He’s really reigned it in recently after giving up the two runs in the first. But also the Blue Jays have little on back-to-back days pitching. Rodriguez went the last two days. Green went the last two days. So not as much bullpen depth today as they had in the previous two games. They do have Mason Flu Hardy warming up. If he pitches, it’ll be his third time in four days. To his brother-in-law, Jav Bayz. Burio steals and gets a whiff on a slur. It was fouled off the inside of the right leg of Alejandro Kirk. 0 and one. Alejandro Kirk has been beaten up lately. That was a tough foul ball right on the inside of the thigh. Man, you know what? He has probably played It actually hit his left leg. That is tough. He’s probably played a little more than we would have expected coming into the year. I mean, he’s bordering on one off day a week and he has not taken any of those bumps and bruises to the plate. He’s been big for the Blue Jays, especially last couple weeks. the 01 called a strike. Actually missed his spot. They weren’t trying to throw a strike and they did and they get ahead of him and two. There was just so much movement on that sinker. That might have been his best sinker of the day. 94 mph too. Two outs. Top of the sixth. Two-2 game. Runner on first. And the O2 down and away. Bayz lays off. Before Bereio threw that pitch. You can see Alejandro Kirk pointing at the ground telling Jos Bereios, “Hey, bounce this pitch.” He didn’t bounce it, but it’s a good job from Alejandro Kirk almost forcing him to do that. Bereio tapping the right side of his head, asking for another pitch. Calcom signal set and the one-two swing and a miss. Strike three. Jose Bereios after struggling in the first puts together five scoreless innings in a row and he has kept the Blue Jays in this game. 2-2 is the score middle of the sixth.

Bottom of the sixth inning, still 22 between the Blue Jays and the Tigers. Jos Burios has gotten the handshake, so his day is done. What a day it was. gave up two in the first, then strung together five scoreless innings. And that’s why the Blue Jays still have a chance today despite it not being their best offensive day. It’s a two- two game. Jackson Job, the fellow starter to Bereio trying to complete six innings himself, steps on facing Anthony Santandere. The wind and the pitch. Called strike threw the curve ball over to get ahead 0 and one. This has been a fun series, Ben. and a couple of one-run games and here we are in the sixth inning and a tie ball game. Next pitch cut on and missed. Nothing in two. It would be understandable if a lot of Blue Jays fans looked at this series, best record in baseball and the Tigers coming up and thought they might have some trouble here. They got a good shot to win the series. So too, swinging a miss, strike three. 96 elevated. Job strikes out Santandere for his fourth K today. That was a really nice sequence from Dingler and Jackson. Job. Couple of fast balls and that really good slider. Tell you what, Jackson Job is really impressing me today with that fast ball. Righty offers now to Addison Barger with one out. Ball one. Barger 0 for two. Strikeout popup in foul territory. The pitch called a strike. Tilted his head to the side. He wasn’t sure about that one. It was a borderline pitch, but looked like it grabbed the inside edge. The 1-1 outside again. Two and one. In the Toronto bullpen, Mason Flu Hardy is warming. Given the handshake to Burios, you figure Flu Hardy pitches the seventh. Two-1 offering. Low ball three missed with a change. On the other side, Tigers have a lefty up. Brandt Herder looks like he’s warmed up at this point. He’s just waiting for his opportunity to come into the game. 3-1 pitch popped up just behind second. Short stop. Sweeney raises his arms in the air to call it in the shallow left center field. Turf and he makes the catch. Two outs. So, you could tell Addison Barger was ready for that fast ball, that 3-1 fast ball. But Jackson Job threw a really good pitch down and away at 97 mph. That’s just a pitcher’s pitch. You got to tip your cap to him. 22year-old having a very nice day. One of his better days so far this season. Two outs in his pitch to Ernie Clement. Called strike 0 and one. Now we mentioned off the top seven and0 are the Tigers when he starts. The only difference for him today usually they provide a ton of run support for Joe. 01 cut on and missed nothing in two. In his previous seven starts the Tigers have scored 53 runs. That’s between seven and eight a game. 02 high one ball two strikes. Not getting the same treatment so far today. The Tigers have provided two in support of Job. It’s two-2 score. Two outs, spot him six. The pitch in the dirt. Two balls, two strikes. Jackson Joe being careful with Ernie Clement. He’s seen him do some damage in this series. Clement with an RBI single in the fourth and yesterday his second career walk-off. 2-2 low ball three. Ernie lined one through the right side yesterday to win it for the Blue Jays. His first career walk-off came last year, July 26th, against the te the Texas Rangers off of the talented closer Kirby Yates. Payoff pitch called strike three just caught the outside edge. job with a pair of strikeouts in a perfect bottom of the sixth. Tie ball game going into the final three innings. We’ll have the seventh next.

Hi, this is Tyler Heinman and you’re listening to Toronto Blue Jays baseball on the Sportsnet Radio Network. Welcome back to Blue Jays baseball. Seventh inning at Rogers Center and a pitching change for Toronto. Mason Flu Hardy in the game. Two-2 score. Lefty offers to Carrie Carpenter outside ball one. Pitching changes brought to you by Home Hardware, the official home improvement retailer for the Toronto Blue Jays. Locallyowned, genuinely Canadian subra for the lefty Flu Hardy out of Liberty. 10. Down and away with the sweeper. Two balls, no strikes. 18 and a third innings in a major league career for Flu Hardy. Seven hits, four earned runs. He’s walked five. He struck out 17. The 2-o hit high in the air. Shallow right field. Lucas started back. He’s sprinting in. Clement going out, but Lucas will make it there on his sprint to make the catch overhead. One out. Well, that was a lazy popup out to shallow right field. But that was a tough play for Nathan Lucas. Like you said, it almost looked like he started back, took a step back, and then had to sprint in to catch that baseball for out number one. You do hear sometimes when guys get it off the end of the bat. You can’t always tell that from the outfield. So they see a big swing, they react. You’re always thought even when you’re a kid, first step back rather than in. But Lucas had the speed to cover. Pitch to Glaver Torrance. Fouled back 0 and one. I think it’s even more difficult. And granted, I’ve never played the outfield, but it’s it’s probably even more difficult when you have a power hitter up like a Carrie Carpenter who if he gets that on the barrel, it’s probably a home run. Carpenter down to start the seventh. One out. Base is empty. Torres is 0 for two today. He was hit by a pitch. A one just high. One ball, one strike. So the third time that Flu Hardy pitches in the last four days. Left-hander didn’t go yesterday, but did go on Friday and Thursday against the Tigers and Rays. 1-1. High again. Two balls, one strike. Action in both bullpens as this top of the seventh goes on. Two-1 pitch, outside ball three. How about Braden Fischer getting loose right now for the Blue Jays? That’s going to be a high leverage situation for him. Yeah, that would be a big spot. I mean, Flu Hardy’s a rookie himself, but he’s got about four times the appearances in the big leagues that Fiser has so far. Lefties 3-1 outside ball four. Walks Torres on five pitches. just trying to trying to be a little bit too perfect to Glabber Torres. You have to trust your stuff, especially in a tie ball game. You don’t want to put the go-ahead run on base. Interesting here. Vlatt’s going over to talk to Mason Flu Hardy. And now Pete Walker is going to go over as well. So Alejandro Kirk will join them. It’s going to be a pinch hitter for Detroit. That’s part of the reason the visit’s happening. They take out the left-handed hitting Zack McKinstry in this platoonheavy roster. They’ll go to Andy Ibanz, who is known as a lefty killer. He’ll bat from the right side against Flu Hardy. I wonder why Vladimir Guerrero Jr. kind of ran over to Mason Flu Hardy and had a quick discussion with him even before Pete Walker came out. Maybe talking about Glabber Torres if he can steal what they want to do here in terms of picking off. Maybe just a a leader on the team instilling some confidence. It could happen. I mean, that that’s possible. You never know. Neil Walker never came up to you and said, “You got this, Chris.” After dealing and then just walking one guy. No. Yeah, I guess it’d be a little early. One out, runner on first. Right-handed hitting. Izz up. Flu Hardy twists back and deals. Misses high. Ball one. And the throw back to Flu Hard. He goes over his head, but Ernie Clement got in there to make sure that ball didn’t skip into center field. Torres on first base can run. Four stolen bases on the season, although he has also been thrown out on the base paths in each of the first two games. 10. Sweeper called a ball. That’s a great pitch. That should have been a strike. It’s 2 and0. Yeah. Yeah, and the Blue Jays are barking from that dugout. I mean, Flu Hardy really needed that. He has been scattered over the last two batters instead of 1-1. Here’s his two pitch. Called a strike. Two and one. I guess the other one was called low cuz that was in terms of east to west in the exact same spot. [Music] Lefty looking at Torres at first. Kicks and offers. And this one is chopped slowly to third. This could be trouble. Barger charging. Quick transfer. Fakes a throw to first. He had no play. He’s going to eat it. It’s an infield single for Andy Ibanz. Torres up to second. It’s better to put that ball in your back pocket and not risk a wild throw to first base. He did a good job. Fake the throw and then quickly turned to Glabber Torres at second base to see if he was rounding second base. A lot of the times you’ll catch base runners off guard if you do that. You fake the throw and then you look to second base, but Claver Torres was standing on the [Music] base. Best chance for the Tigers in a couple innings. They have runners on first and second, only one out. 2-2 Detroit and Toronto with Riley Green hitting left on left. The pitch call to strike. That one might have been high, but this time Flu Hardy gets the call. 0 and one. That’s a big first strike though on Riley Green getting ahead. A good day for Green. A single and a double. He’s two for three. Two looks at second from Flu Hardy. The 01 swing and a miss through the sweeper off the plate down and away. Nothing and two. Go right back there. Maybe even further off the plate. Don’t give Riley Green a chance to get any kind of contact to that baseball. [Applause] flew hard. He’s set. Looks at second and is 02. Down and away with the sweeper. Green flinched but did not swing. One ball, two strikes. This could be the last batter for Flu Hardy. The lefty crusher Spencer Torqulson is on deck. One-two pitch. Swing and a miss. He got him. Elevated the cutter. Two down. That’s a great pitch. That cutter is so effective when he’s when he can throw it to the top of the strike zone. A big out for him. But here comes John Schneider from that dugout. Spencer Torlson about to hit with runners on first and second and the Blue Jays will make a pitching change. Brought to you by Home Hardware, the official home improvement retailer for the Toronto Blue Jays. Locallyowned, genuinely Canadian. Two outs recorded, one walk, one infield hit for Flu Hardy. He leaves the game with two outs in the top of the seventh. the two- two score and runners on first and second. Let’s go over to today’s host. Here’s Sha Ali. Thanks very much, guys. Let’s check in on the St. Louis Bar and Grill out of town scoreboard. And as we often have and will continue to do until the cup is handed out, we’ll start with the Stanley Cup playoffs. Second round beginning to wrap up. We already have three of four teams in the conference finals. They have the West set and one in the East. In the East, the Carolina Hurricanes being the Washington Capitals in five games. await the winner of Leafs Panthers in the West. The Oilers thumping the Golden Knights in five games as well. They will once again take on the Dallas Stars who beat the Winnipeg Jets last time two to one the final score in overtime. Thomas Harley rifling one past Connor Halabuk to send the Stars to their third straight Western Conference final. In the Eastern Conference, the Leafs managing to avoid elimination and force a winner take all game seven. They blank the Panthers two nothing in game six. The series is now back in Toronto. Game 7 will go later tonight 7:30 p.m. Eastern, 4:30 Pacific. You’ll be able to watch the game on Sportsnet and the CBC. And after the conclusion of the game, leave talk with JD Bunkas, Sam McKe, and Justin Bourne will follow on the radio on Sportsnet Plus and on Sportsnet’s YouTube page. We also have a game seven in the NBA. Kitchener, Jamal Murray besting Hamilton, Shay Gilis, Alexander as the Nuggets avoided elimination over the Thunder in game six. The series is now back in OKC for tonight’s game 7. I guess you should say tonight, today’s after this afternoon’s game 7 because it starts in about 5 minutes. 3:30 Eastern, 12:30 Pacific. Blue Jays baseball as always brought to you by Crown Russ Protection. Let’s get you back to the action down at the Rogers Center. Here are Ben Schulman and Chris Laroo. Thank you very much, Joe. Top of the seventh inning, two-2 score and Braden Fiser is on for the Blue Jays fourth major league appearance of his career. Torres on second, Ibana is on first and Fischer’s job is to get Spencer Torqulson and send us to the seventh inning stretch with this score tied. Right-hander looks at second base, kicks and delivers. First pitch breaking ball hits the outer edge, strike one. Braden Fischer’s been very good over over his three big league ball games. In his last outing, two innings, four strikeouts. Fast ball, slider curve for the righty. The 01 line center field down for a base hit. Torres gets the wave. He’ll come around third. Throw goes into second. Cut. Throw to third and they get Ibanz trying to go to third base to end the inning. But the run will score on the single. So, the Tigers take a 3-2 lead to the seventh inning stretch.

This is Toronto Blue Jays baseball. George Springer has given the Blue Jays the lead once again on Sportset 590 the van and the sportset radio network. Welcome to the Timbermar broadcast booth alongside Chris Laru. I’m Ben Schulman. Blue Jays trailing the Tigers 3 to2 after Spencer Tolson came up with an RBI single in the top of the seventh. And now trying to protect that lead, a new reliever for Detroit. Right-hander John Brebia in the game. Pitching change brought to you by Home Hogware, the official home improvement retailer for the Toronto Blue Jays. Locally owned, genuinely Canadian. Ben, were you watching the end of that play when Andy Abanz got thrown out at third base? How close it was to Glaver Torres not scoring on that play? I actually I didn’t see Torres cuz my attention was on third. So So was mine. It was close though. That’s what I’m asking. I don’t know how close it was. It seemed like it was pretty close though. We’re getting the nod that it was close from Danielle Franchesca. Will be on Blue Jays talk after the game. Pitch to Nathan Lucas. Breia misses up high. Although that probably should have been a strike. One and0. John Breia, a veteran, has pitched with St. Louis, San Francisco, the Chicago White Socks, the Braves, and now the Tigers. Next offering high and outside ball too. Low to mid 90s fast, slider and change up for the right-hander. Revia looks down at the hill. Now winds his 200 outside ball three. Very disciplined early on from Lucas. Blue Jays trying to get the tying run aboard here in the bottom of the seventh. And if you’re Nathan Lucas, you are not swinging here. That’s for sure. It’s a tough bullpen to come back on. 3 0 called strike 3 and one. Blue Jays managed to do it yesterday, but going into yesterday’s game, the Tigers were 26-0 when leading after six innings. They were tied after six today, but they score in the top of the seventh. So, basically the same scenario, 3-1 outside ball four and the Blue Jays will get the tying run aboard as Nathan Lucas walks to start the frame. That’s a really nice atbat. took some tough pitches off the plate outside. Really good plate discipline there from Nathan Lucas. So, Jonathan Class up to the plate now. We saw the Blue Jays bunt over some guys when they needed it yesterday. You wonder if with the speed of Class and Lucas on first, they think about it again. Third baseman Ibanz does. He’s playing in the pitch. Class squares to Bunt, pulls it back. It’s outside. Ball one. By the way, Ibana is at third now. He came in to hit for Zack McKinstry. Remains in the game in his defensive position. I don’t know if that was a true sack. It kind of seemed like he was trying to bunt for a base hit there. 10 squares, pulls it back, takes a strike. That was a little bit more sackish. He doesn’t put it out right away. The bunts attempt. He doesn’t put it out while the pitcher is in the line like you would see National League pitchers do a lot of the time, but it wasn’t last second either. 1-1 squares and bunts it back foul into the netting. One and two. So likely the bunt attempts over for Class A. Generally speaking, I think if you’re a good bunter, like I’m sure Jonathan Class A is, you probably can get away with maybe a little bit later, showing a little bit later. But for the most part, you if you’re if you’re giving yourself up, you want to just get it out there early and get it down. Ibana still a little in with two strikes. The one-two called strike three. 94 on the outside edge and a very nice bounce back from Breivia. One down. That might not have been a strike. It might have been just off the plate. Could have been a strike, but again, it’s too close to take with two strikes. You have to at least try to foul that baseball off. Jonathan Class knows that. He’s a smart enough guy. You got to foul that thing off. So, one out and the top of the order up. Bob Bashette who’s one for two with the walk. The pitch called strike. Nathan Lucas in discussion with Mark Budzinski at first. They’re both looking over to Carlos Fabas, the third base coach who relays some signs. A1 down and away. One ball, one strike. Lucas was inching his lead bigger and bigger. Although Breivia went with a bit of an abbreviated leg kick there, potentially messing up the timing of Lucas. Or maybe he was never stealing after all. 1-1 outside and low. Check swing by Bashette. Two balls, one strike. This is a point that you’ve brought up a lot this season. There’s a big hole on the right side of the infield. The second baseman is playing shaded towards second base and then Spencer Torlson is holding on the runner at first. Next pitch low. Three balls, one strike, but they’re pitching B away. It makes no sense. They’re guiding him to hit it. It makes no sense at all. Their pitching plan is guiding him to hit it to the opposite spot of where their defense is lining up. Right. 3-1 count, one out, tying run on first. the pitch. Call to strike. Hit the outside corner. Bette either just unhappy there was a great pitch or didn’t like the call, sagged his head down to the ground. It’s a full count. Lucas taking three steps off first. The 3-2 hit down the right field line. Tailing foul into the seats. Still a full count. [Music] This seventh inning is brought to you by Home Hardware, the official home improvement retailer for the Toronto Blue Jays, locallyowned, genuinely Canadian. 3-2 Tigers, who led from the first until the fourth. Then it was tied fourth until the top of the seventh when Spencer Tolson broke open the tie with an RBI single. Payoff pitch again called strike three. Fast ball hit the inner third. Bette goes down looking. Two outs. And I think Bo Bette was just fooled by that pitch. That was a really nice four seam fast ball. Not overpowering from Brebia, but really well located down and in just 92 [Music] mph. So, two outs after back-to- back strikeouts. Bottom of the seventh, tying run on first. It’s 3-2 Tigers. Pitched to Vlad Guerrero Jr. outside ball one. A single, a walk, and a ground out to the mound for Vlad today, who’s also scored a [Applause] run. 10 pitch. Called a strike. Looked outside. Looked like the frame was a little obvious there from Dingler, but not to the home plate umpire Steven Yoshitzky. So, it’s one and one. I believe this is his first career big league game behind home plate, right? We’ll give him a break. Cut him some slack. Wasn’t that bad of a call. The 1-1 poked foul. Guerrero reached out for that pitch on the outer edge and hits it into the seats off to the right. One and two. Andy’s from Burlington. Ben, just trying to be fair. You don’t care where anybody’s from. You just want strikes to be strikes and balls to be balls. It’s not friends business. It’s show business. Chris. Two outs. 3-2 Tigers. Bottom of the seventh. Lucas on first. One-two pitch. Carrerero takes it outside. That one well off the plate. Two and [Applause] [Music] two. Breia joining the Tigers on a one-year 2 and 3/4 million deal in February. Pitching in a big spot. 2-2 down and away ball three. Not only does Rebia have to come after Guerrero now, but Nathan Lucas, who’s got a lot of speed, gets a head start off first. Full count, two outs. He’ll be running on the [Applause] pitch. Previous steps on the hill and Lucas takes his lead. The 3-2 down and away ball four. Second walk of the day for Vlad. Lucas up to second. The tying run into scoring position. and the go-ahead run on first. That prompts AJ Hinch to walk out to the mound for what’s going to be another pitching change this inning. Brought to you by Home Hardware, the official home improvement retailer for the Toronto Blue Jays. Locally owned, genuinely Canadian. 3-2 for the Tigers. Two outs, two on for the Blue Jays. Bottom of the seventh. Let’s go back to today’s host, Sha Ali. Thanks very much, Ben. Let’s check out that St. Louis Bar and Grill out of town scoreboard. We’ll go to Major League Baseball and instead of checking out some scores, some news out of Philly today. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announcing that Philly’s reliever Jose Alvarado has received an 80game suspension after testing positive for peeds. Once he does return after that 80game suspension, he will be ineligible for the postseason. So, we’ll see who ends up getting the bulk of saves moving forward for Philly. Maybe Matt Strom gets some run, but a good chance a larger opportunity is found for Canada’s own Jordan Romano. Four saves so far this year. Uh, some news, if you haven’t heard, out of the NFL a few days ago, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Party was handed a massive new deal, a 5-year deal worth $265 million and includes 181 million in overall guaranteed money. Pertie, of course, has been known for being Mr. Irrelevant, the final pick in the 2022 NFL draft. He was making 2.6 $.6 million total over his first three seasons. This new deal has a new average yearly salary of 53 million, which means if you do the math, he will get paid more per week under his new deal than he did over the first three years of his deal combined. That’s a pretty nice raise. Blue Jays baseball, as always, is brought to you by Crown Rust Protection. Let’s get you back to the action here. Ben Schulman and Chris Laroo. Thank you very much, Joe. Left-hander Brandt Herder is into this ball game with the Blue Jays threatening. First and second for Toronto. 3-2 the Tigers lead. Bottom of the seventh inning. Nathan Lucas is the tying run on second. On first base is the go-ahead run in Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and coming up to the plate. Left-handed hitting Dalton Vo for Herder. His 13th appearance of the year. 238 erra. Typically he can be asked to go multiple innings. Don’t know if that’ll be the case today or if they just bring them in because they want that platoon advantage left on left with [Applause] VO. Blue Jays do have a handful of right-handed hitters on the bench, including George Springer, who’s off today, but they decide to stick with VO. First and second, two down. Herder looks at second at Lucas and offers home. Way up and in. Vario having to twist out of the way of an 81 mph sweeper. Ball one. That’s scary pitch. That might have been right at his head. Ah, more around the shoulder. That’s still scary for Daltton Marshall. Herder reloads, peaks at second and the 10. Chopped on the ground. Foul. He rolled over at first base side. One and one. Think he might have broke his bat. Walking back to that dugout to get a new piece of lumber. While he does that, we can quickly look at the baseball standings brought to you by Bet 365.

Major League Baseball’s best Detroit Tigers with Brandt Herder on the mound. The 1-1 fouled away over the netting toward the third base dugout. One and [Applause] two. He’s got he’s got a lot of deception. His stuff isn’t overpowering. Fast ball sits 93 94, but he’s 6’6, 250 lbs. A lot going on with that delivery. Sweeper change up compliment the [Music] sinker. The one two swing and a miss. Strike three. Got him on a sweeper to strand the threat and end the inning. The Blue Jays have two walks but they do not score. They leave a pair on and we go to the eighth with the Tigers leading 3 to2. You’re listening to Blue Jays baseball brought to you by your local family-owned Crown Rush Control Center.

Good one today at Rogers Center. Close ball game 3 to2 the Tigers lead. Top of the eighth inning. Still Braden Fiser for Toronto who got the last out of the seventh. Righty offers to Trey Sweeney. Fast ball in there. Strike one. This is still a high leverage situation for Braden Fiser. Just his fourth big league ball game. He needs to keep this game a one-run ball game. 01 high one ball one strike as the curve slipped down to the hand. Fisher acquired by the Blue Jays after they designated Cavio for assignment last year and then traded him to the Dodgers. 1-1 curve called high. Looked like it had the zone. Two balls, one strike. I think that’s a pretty good return. I like what I’ve seen out of Braden Fischer. The 2-1 hit on the ground foul. Two and two. If you make a a DFA trade, because essentially all the Dodgers are doing is trading a guy to skip the waiverwire line, if you get anything out of a DFA trade, I think you probably take it as a win. And Fiser, only 24 years old, still with a lot of baseball in front of him. Next pitch, high with 96. Three balls, two [Applause] strikes. 2018 fourthrounder by the Dodgers out of a high school in Texas. His pitch called strike three. Sweeny was getting ready to walk down to first, but that fast ball clipped the top of the zone and there’s one out. Little bit of a hanging slider. I think Braden Fischer got away with one there, but he’ll take it. A big first strike in this inning. Sorry, big first out. 89 mileph slider just dropped back in. So, one down and Dylan Dingler up. He’s three for three today. A double and two singles. Fischer’s pitch fouled back. It’s 0 and [Applause] one. Fischer was acquired last year. He was at AAA, but struggling with the Dodgers. Blue Jays brought him back to double A with New Hampshire and he pitched well enough to get himself promoted back to Triple A. Now is 01 is looped out to shallow right center. Clement going back makes the over the shoulder catch. Two down. He’s got good stuff. I’ve said this over the course of his couple last couple of outings. I really like the curve ball, the slider and his fast ball is pretty effective as well in the mid 90s. Two quick outs here in the eighth inning. 3-2 Tigers. Base is empty. Akquil Badu, the former Twins second rounder up to the plate. The pitch breaking ball inside. Ball one. Akil Bedu has essentially won this game. If if the Tigers do go on to win this ball game, he won this game for them. Made two plays in the first inning that at least prevented a run if not more. 10 lifted very high and very foul off to the right over the first base dugout. dropping into the seats. I think luckily for everyone that one hit the concrete before pinballing back up into one of the [Music] sections. Light colored bat for the left-handed hitting Boo 1-1. Fouls it off of his own front foot. One and [Applause] two. Looking ahead to the bottom of the eighth, Alejandro Kirk, Anthony Shantandere, and Addison Barger will hit for the Blue Jays. Next pitch, drilled foul headed to the 500 level down the right field line. That is not a spot fans get a ball often. Boo smoked that ball, but he was way out in front of it. It’s an Anthony Santandere type of foul ball. Still one and two. to the pitch. Lined out to right. This one’s going to stay fair and get down for a base head. Cut off by Lucas. A two out single for Boo. Have yourself a day Boo. Couple of nice plays in the field. Then he has himself a base hit there. Didn’t hit it all that hard, but he got just enough of it to get it out to right field. That’s a big hit. In most lineups, you extend the inning for your nine hitter. Well, that might not be the most interesting spot in your lineup, but Javier Bayz is the nine hitter for the Tigers, batting .293 even after an 0 for three day today. Fischer offers. Runner takes off. Swinging a miss. Strike one. Throw down to second. Not in time. It tailed off to the right. Ernie Clements did everything he could, grabbing that ball and swiping back. And the Blue Jays are at least looking at it right now. To the naked eye, it looked like the tag didn’t even get on. Yeah, it didn’t seem to me like they got Badu at second base. I don’t think they’re going to take a look at this [Applause] one. They will not. So, a stolen base for Kale Badoo. First of the major league season. He’s on second with two outs. A one count on Bayz. Fischer’s pitch. Swing and a miss. Threw the slider in the zone. Got the whip from Javier Bayz. Nothing in two. And now you have to throw that pitch out of the strike zone and an 02 count. Do not throw anything hitable to Jav Bayz. Fischer’s got a four seamer, a slider, and a curve to pick from. A look at second. Two strike pitch. Bounced a breaking ball. Kirk stopped it, although it skipped a little to his left, but Badu didn’t take off. One ball, two strikes. [Music] sometimes. I mean, a lot of the time after bouncing a curveball like that, I would say elevate that four seam fast ball, but I think Jav Bayz is guessing elevated four seam fast balls now. So, you might want to bounce a curveball again. One-two pitch lined and caught on the backhand at short by Bette going down to his knees to make the play. Scoreless inning around a two-out single for Braden Fiser. Looks like Tommy Canley is in next for the Tigers with Alejandro Kirk leading it off for the Blue Jays. 3-2 Tigers middle of the eighth.

Swinging a liner caught at third on a slide by Ernie Clement. On Sports Net 590, the van and the Sportset radio network. Home half of the eighth inning in downtown Toronto. 3-2, the Tigers leading the Blue Jays in the rubber match of this series. Alongside Chris Laroo, I’m Ben Schulman. Pitching change for the Tigers, brought to you by Home Hardware, the official home improvement retailer for the Toronto Blue Jays. Locally owned, genuinely Canadian right-hander Tommy Kanley makes his second appearance of the series. He’s been great this year, 153 erra in 17 games, but he pitched in the opener and gave up a solo home run to Bob Bashette. likely won’t face Bette this time around. He starts with the number four hitter in today’s order, Alejandro Kirk. Kanley kicks and deals. Called strike. How about that? A change up from Tommy Canley. Expect it eight or nine times out of 10 from Kanley who throws a change up more than anyone else in baseball. [Applause] the 01 outside with a fast ball. One ball, one strike. It almost looked like Alejandro Kirk was was surprised by that fast ball. I said this on Friday, but it it’s very Trevor Richards like sets up the fast ball with his change. 1-1 fouled off one and two. Typically, it’s the other way around. You throw fast ball, fast ball, and then you get the guy to swing and miss on the change. But for Kanley, the other way around throws 86% or 85% change ups. And a lot like Trevor Richards, his change up moves a lot. A lot of downward action, good arm speed. So you’re really not sure as a hitter if it’s a fast ball or a change up. And then at the last second, you figure it out, but that’s too late. One ball, two strikes on Alejandro Kirk. Can’s pitch bounced over the mound, headed up the middle. It’s cut off by the shortstop. Sweeney, but he’s got no throw. Stumbling a little bit was Trey Sweeney as he picked it up. He did have a long run and it’ll be an infield hit for Alejandro Kirk immediately. Miles Straw comes out of the dugout to pinch run. Well, I I thought Trey Sweeney had a chance to get Alejandro Kirk at first base, but it would have been a tough throw across his body and I think he just just chose to put that ball in his back pocket and not take the chance throwing it away. I guess you trust one of your highest leverage relievers, your save leader to deal with a single rather than worry about, you know, what if Kirk gets to second? What if you throw the ball out of play? But now Miles Straw is on and Anthony Santandere is at the plate representing the go-ahead run. Kaneley offers misses outside. Santandere was taken all the way it seemed like on that slideep change up one and0. I like this matchup here. He’s going to see a lot of change ups. Doesn’t have the high velocity. Let’s see if Santandere can run into one. The 10 fouled back slide step again from Kanley and he might do that all plate appearance just to try and keep Miles Straw at [Applause] first. Right-handed pitcher adjusts the sleeve on the undershirt on his right arm. Cups his ear for the signal from Pitchcom and now sets below the bell. The 1-1 check swing pitch outside. Little hop around from Santandere. Juan Stoesque gets two and [Music] one. 0 for three day for Santandere, but he can change the tenor of his day with one [Applause] swing. And Kanley’s going to step off before throwing the next pitch. Doesn’t really look at Straw though. Straw never went back to the [Music] bag. Right-hander set. Two balls and one strike. Nobody out. The pitch fouled right back. He just missed that change up right over the middle. It’s two and two. He was all over that thing. Maybe a hair out in front, but you could tell he was thinking change up. Waiting on that change up. Just didn’t wait back long enough. [Applause] They were Torres now jogging in. Former Yankee teammates in Torres and Kanley going to have a quick discussion. And now Dingler going out to the mound as well. He’s probably saying, “Hey, don’t throw a change up right down the middle again.” Yeah, that would be his best advice. This is interesting though. We talked about it a couple minutes ago. Vlad went to the mound before others met him there to talk to Mason Flu Hardy. And this is a Glaver Torres initiated visit. Dylan Dingler’s just standing there listening now. Kanley talking to Dingler. Glaver Torres from Venezuela. Anthony Santandere from Venezuela. Maybe he knows something that we don’t know about a two- strike approach. Who knows? I I couldn’t begin to to guess what that meeting was about. Torres back in his position in the whole right side. Detroit shifts toward first base because the switch hitter Santandere is batting left. Now time is going to be called at the plate by Steven Yoshinski. 3-2 Tigers. Nobody out. Bottom eight. Straw on first after Kirk came up with the infield single. Straw in to run for him is the tying run. Santandere at the plate. The go-ahead run. Two-2 low. Ball three. Took the fast ball all the way. Three balls, two strikes. They’re trying to elevate with the heater. That’s actually a good pitch. That’s probably what I would have done. Get him off that change up a little bit. And now you can go back to it with with a full count here. Barger waiting on [Applause] deck. The 3-2 fouled and pops out of the glove of Dingler. Nearly a foul tip strikeout, but instead an extra life for Shantere. He was late on that fast ball, too. That fast ball was right down Broadway and he was just a little bit late on it. That hit about every part of Dingler’s glove before falling out, [Applause] too. So, Kanley’s got away with a couple mistakes, but there’s Santandere getting a bit of an extra life. Full count, nobody out. Payoff pitch. Swing and a miss. Strike three. Got him on the change. One out. That’s a great change up. You have to tip your cat to Tommy Canley. Sorry, your hat to Tommy Canley just because everybody in the ballpark knows a change up’s coming. Anthony Son there is pretty sure a change up is coming and yet you still swing through it just like Trevor Richards when he was going well. Big out after the leadoff single. Straw still on first. Addison Barger to the plate. Canley’s pitch lined right field foul. tattooed that ball but was too far out in front of the change up. Left middle down and it screamed into the side netting on a bounce. 0 and one. And now Miles Straw could maybe think about trying to steal second base. Still not sure if he’s going to or not in this inning, but with one out in this inning, you want to get into scoring [Applause] position. 01 to Barger. Hit on the ground to second. Torres up, spins, throws to second. One. Sweeney back to first. Not in time. Throw bounces away into the dugout and that will give Barger second base. So, a fielders’s choice, but the Sweeney error does advance the tying run to second with now two outs. That might be the break the Blue Jays need. And how about that? Ernie Clement coming to the plate. He has come up in some big spots in this series. He had the walk-off hit yesterday after walking the inning before to score the tying run. And today he had the second RBI single in the fourth and at the time tied the game. It’s now 3-2 Tigers. Two outs. Spot bottom eight. Barer on second. Long look from Keanley in the pitch in the dirt ball one. Trey Sweeney by the way just threw that ball away. I thought that Miles Straw maybe slid into him a little bit, but watching the replay, it was a wide open lane and he just threw that ball right into the dugout. And looking at how the play unfolded, I don’t really think he had a chance at getting Barger. Barger on second. The tying run. 10 popped up. Foul. That’s going to get out of play. One and [Applause] one. Ernie Clement one for three today with that RBI single. Infield plays him mostly straight up. They’re shifted a little bit to the pull side, but no one that close to second base so Barger can get a big lead. The 1-1 hit on the ground. Foul behind the back of third base coach Carlos Fabas. It’s one and [Music] two. Double barrel action for the Blue Jays in left field in their pen. It’s Jimmy Garcia and Jeff Hoffman loosening. Likely Garcia if the score stays the same. Hoffman if they can take the lead. One, two, bounce to third. Ibanz gloves, throws over to first and ends the inning. No runs on a hit for the Blue Jays. One error, one left and we go to the ninth. Tigers clinging to a 3-2 lead. One more inning to decide this series. You’re listening to Blue Jays baseball, brought to you by your local family-owned Crown Rush Control Center.

Pitching change for the Blue Jays. Brought to you by Home Hardware, the official home improvement retailer for the Toronto Blue Jays. Locally owned, genuinely Canadian. Jimmy Garcia into the ball game. 3-2 for the Tigers. Top of the order in the top of the ninth. Garcia pitching on back-to- back days. Kicks and offers. Carrie Carpenter swings and misses. Strike one. Carpenter, Torres, Andy Ibanettz are due up this inning for Detroit. Righties 01. Fast ball up and away. One ball, one strike. That’s good velocity right now from Jimmy Garcia. It’s a good sign. 1-1 down and in. Two balls, one strike. Garcia with a three and a half erra this season. 18 innings. He’s allowed seven earned runs, punched out 24, and walked nine. He unleashes a 2-1 foul tip. Two and two. 97 at the top of that strike zone. That’s where he’s very good. Really good at locating that fast ball at the top and just above when he has that zip on the heater. It really plays well for his other pitches as well. It’s a six pitch mix for the righthander. Much deeper than your average reliever. 2-2 high. Three balls, two strikes. Four seamers is the main pitch for Garcia. He’s also got a curve sweeper and slider sinker and change [Music] up. The 3-2 hit sharply picked up on one hop at second by Clement. After backhanding it, he throws over to first for the out. Ernie Clement looked pretty solid over there ever since Andre Jimenez went on the IIL. That was a nice play ranging to his right up the middle and makes a nice throw across his body. Of course, he has some familiarity. Played a lot of third and short, but it’s not the exact same thing. Just sliding over to second base. And like you said, he’s looked very comfortable. A gold glove finalist last year. Ernie Clement settles playing up the middle right now against the right-handed hitter Glabber Torres. First pitch called strike dropped in the curve baller. Make that the slider to get ahead 0 and one. Garcia twists back 01 pitch. Swinging in a miss. 99 up top. Nothing in two. That is good stuff right there. Stay right there. No sense in messing around. 02 by the way. Tyler Heinman catching now for Jimmy Garcia. Kirk was lifted for a pinch runner in the bottom of the eighth. So Heinman is in. Straw is out of the game. He was the runner that came in the place of Kirk. Wave going around at Roger Center. Here’s the O2 high. One ball, two strikes. It’s exactly what they did. Another 99 mph fast ball above the strike zone. Now you can think about throwing an off speed pitch here. [Applause] set below the belt. The righty looks to Torres. One, two. High. Two balls, two strikes. Got a little third of a swing check swing from Torres on the elevated heater, but couldn’t get him to go [Applause] around. Right on right match up. One out. Base is empty. The pitch check swing and missed inside. Three balls, two strikes. [Applause] Andy Ibana scheduled to hit next for the Tigers. He’s on deck right now with one out and Detroit up 3-2. Top of the ninth. Heman asks for time. He’s going to go out to the mound. Probably just trying to figure out what they want to throw here. Do they want to throw an offspe pitch? Do they want to throw another heater? This is a good mound visit for for Tyler Heinman here. [Music] Claver Torres, meanwhile, was in conversation with his first base dugout, telling them a little bit about Garcia’s pitches. 3-2 high ball four. And after getting ahead of him, Garcia walks Torres with one out. Probably not what you want to do, but you also don’t want Claver Torres to run into one either. So Torres on first, Andy Ibanz up. Big splits for Banz. Ibanz hits much bit better against lefties than righties. He’s going to go right on right with Garcia and he takes the first pitch for a strike. 0 and1 this season. Ibana is hitting 176 no extra base hits against right-handed pitching. 261. Four extra base hits against left-handed pitching. The righty Garcia 01 fouled back. Nothing in [Applause] two. Ibanz leans back, points his bat out towards center field, and now has two hands on the handle. Bat just off of his chest. 02 popped up right side of the infield. Ernie Clement swimming his arms in the air. Makes the catch just behind him off to his right. Two down. It’s a big second out in this inning, especially with Riley Green coming to the plate. Got to make some good pitches here. It’s the ninth inning and it’s brought to you by New from Pizza. Get a huge 18-inch double XXL three topping pizza for just $19.99. Bigger slices, bigger bites. Only at Pizza Pizza. Actually, Canadian. Two outs. Riley Green up. Torres on first. The pitch outside. Ball [Applause] one. Will vest warming up for the Tigers. Jose Urrenia getting loose for the Blue Jays with two outs in the top of the ninth. 10 lined out to left coming in. Plac makes the catch in front of his chest to end the inning. Scoreless frame for Jimmy Garcia. Tigers leading 3-2 as we go to the bottom of the ninth. Lucas Class Bette set to hit for Toronto. You’re listening to Blue Jays baseball.

The Jays trail the Tigers 3-2 bottom nine at the Rogers Center with the call. Here are Ben Schulman and Chris Laroo. Thank you very much. Will Vest is on right now for the Tigers. A pitching change brought to you by Home Hardware, the official home improvement retailer for the Toronto Blue Jays, locallyowned, genuinely Canadian. Vest looking for a save. Blue Jays looking for a second straight comeback. They trail 3-2 with Nathan Lucas leading off the bottom of the ninth. The pitch low ball one. Vest just missed at 98. His four seamer averages 97. It’s his main pitch by far. Mixes in a slider, a sinker, and a change. 10. Called a strike. One and one. AJ Hinch using him in save situations. Now velocity noticeably ticked up this year for Will Vest. Up 1 to 2 miles an hour depending on the pitch from last season. The 1-1 swing and a miss. Lowe’s 98 by Lucas. One and two. It’s almost like that fast ball just hits another gear. That one just zipped right by Nathan Lucas. Although 98 mph bearded righty looking in the one, two, fouled [Music] back. A 12throunder by the Tigers out of Steven F. Austin. and he was a position player in college initially converted over to being a [Applause] pitcher. The one two sprayed away foul to the left over the netting and into the seats. He’s just filling up that strike zone right now with upper 90s for seamers. It’s almost like Nathan Lucas is just waiting for something off speed trying to foul off tough pitches. Lucas Class. Bashette supposed to hit this inning, but George Springer is standing on deck. Looks like he’ll hit for Class. One, two, way high and outside. Two balls, two [Applause] strikes. Lucas 0 for two today with a walk. The pitch poked out to left field and that one is fading into the seats where the wall starts to escalate toward the corner. Still two balls, two strikes. Stefonic and Springer, the two out of four left on the Blue Jays bench. Looks like Springer will get used in a moment. Blue Jays used Straw and Heineman already when they had the tying run aboard to start the eighth. 3-2 Detroit. Two-2 pitch bounced over the mound. Picked up by Sweeney. The shorts stop running to first. He’ll throw the ball over there for the first out. Well, Trey Sweeney was shaded towards that second base bag. So, an easy play for him. I thought off the bat it had a chance to sneak up the middle. Just wasn’t hit quite hard enough. Trey Sweeney with a nice running play. Big cheer from the over 36,000 in attendance as George Springer comes up to the plate. Three-2 the Tigers lead the Blue Jays. Springer batting off the bench here trying to get a board or maybe even tie this game with a [Music] swing. Vest in the set. Glove at his chest. Right on right the pitch. Low ball one threw the slider over for the first pitch of the atbat. A pitch he throws about a fifth of the time. It’s a good call right there from the rookie umpire. Barely missed. 10 called strike. One and one. And you can tell they’re being careful with George Springer right now. Couple of sliders to start him off. Springer batting 265, five home runs, 18 RBI’s. the 1-1 inside. Two balls, one strike. That was the first time they gave him a look at a fast ball. The majority of Springer’s hits coming on heaters this year, batting in the 360s. 2-1. Swing and a miss. Swung in a fast ball outside at 98. Two balls, two strikes. And that’s why they were being careful with him because of that big swing right there. George Springer is liable to run into a four seam fast. 2-2 hit foul high over the netting right side. Out of [Applause] [Music] play 266 home runs in the career of George Springer over,300 [Applause] hits. Another 2-2 called strike three. Springer doesn’t like it. It looks like it caught the zone. It was a big miss of the spot, but the backup slider just got over the inner edge. That’s a That’s a strike. That’s a good call. That That’s one of those ugly backup sliders that as a hitter you don’t like. And obviously George Springer is going to go back to that iPad and say to himself, “That is a strike.” But that’s a tough pitch overall. Two down, bases empty. Bo Bette pokes the first pitch. P foul into the back stop. 0 and [Music] one. Baseball’s best record belongs to the Tigers. They split the first two games of this series and this one has been tight throughout, but the Blue Jays in danger of dropping the set. 3-2 Detroit. Two out space is empty and the 01 to Boow. One ball, one strike. [Music] Four home runs on the year for Bette. Swings at the next pitch and misses. Tried to hold up on the high heater. It’s one and [Applause] [Music] two. Blue Jays down to their final strike. Best in the set. And the one two hit on the ground at third. This should do it. No. A bobble by Ivanz. Bette safe at first. And this game will continue for one more batter. Well, that’s the mistake that the Blue Jays have been waiting for. Andy Abanz bobbles that ball over there. Looked like a routine ground ball. Would have ended this ball game. But here comes Vladimir Guerrero Jr. now with the tying run at first base. And he’s the go-ahead run standing in that batter’s box. Sorry, the winning run. One for two day for Vlad. A pair of walks as well and a run scored. The pitch down and away. Ball one. This game looked to be wrapped up about a minute ago, but Annie Banz couldn’t handle the routine grounder. 10 high. Two balls, no [Music] strikes. Feels like a time. Vlatty’s about to get really [Applause] [Music] big. 20 called strike. Good fast ball on the outside edge. Decides not to go after it. That’s actually a good take. A lot of hitters would be swinging there at anything in the strike zone and that wasn’t a a pitch that he could drive. It was on the black outside. A good take. 2-1 called to strike at the knees. Guerrero turns away in frustration. Two and two. That’s a strike. It’s a good call. It’s a great pitch. So the Blue Jays down to their final strike again. Bette the tying run on first. Winning run in the box. 2-2 down and away. Ball three. That missed by a fraction of an inch to keep this game going. Another good call. Who is this guy back there? He’s doing well in the ninth inning. Full count. Two outs. Bo Bashette will get the head start off first, although he’s still held on by Spencer Torqulson. The 3-2 bounce to the right side. Fielded. Torres throws to first. The Tigers win 3-2 to take the series in Toronto. That was a tough loss for the Blue Jays. They had their chances against Jackson Job early on, but they just couldn’t come through. They couldn’t break through to get a couple of runs, but I mean, what a great series. Every single ball game was won or lost by one run. I really enjoyed seeing baseball’s best in the Detroit Tigers. The name of the game is entertainment. This was an entertaining series for sure, but the Tigers come out on top today, winning 3 to2 to take the series two games to one. We’ll take a quick break and when we come back, wrap it up and send you over to Blue Jays Talk.

This is Toronto Blue Jays baseball. Runner going. Throw down his second. They got him on Sportsnet 590. The fans and the Sportsnet Radio Network. Blue Jays fall today to the Detroit Tigers. 3-2 is the final score. Welcome back to Rogers Center. I’m Ben Schulman alongside Chris Laru. Jose Bereos and Jackson Job faced off today and pretty much went punch for punch. The stat lines for both. The final pitching lines ended up nearly identical. But Chris, it was Bereos coming off a tough start who got into trouble early. A two-run double by Torlson in the first inning. And that would be the last time in six innings that the Tigers got to him. He only gave up two in a quality start. Yeah, he really settled down after that first inning. It was actually pretty impressive how well he navigated this very good Detroit Tigers lineup, but the biggest thing for him, and I talked about this before the broadcast, is just limit the walks, pound the strike zone, limit the walks. He’s he’s one of those guys, one of the few guys really in the big leagues that has a fast ball that moves so much that he can just throw that thing right down the middle, let it work, and the majority of the contact will be weak contact. I think outside of that first inning, he really did that. really impressed me today. Hopefully, it’s a step in the right direction for him. And on the other side, Jackson Job, very impressive as well. He went six innings, allowed two runs of his own. They came on big hits from Alejandro Kirk and Ernie Clement. Clutch hits with runners in scoring position, but neither team would come up with very many hits in their opportunities. Both stranded a good handful of runners. And at the end of the day, Chris, it was the Tigers who had one extra moment in them today. Torqulson again with the RBI single in the seventh. They just got the one knock that they needed to edge past the Blue Jays. Well, that’s the that’s the biggest thing and that’s really the difference between a a 500 team and a team that’s 15 games over 500. You get the big swing in the big situation. You score that guy from second base with two outs in an inning. And I think the Detroit Tigers, although they’re the very good roster, very good bullpen, have done that the majority of this season. And if you look at if you look back at a lot of the a lot of the games the Blue Jays have lost, it’s probably because they didn’t come up they didn’t they didn’t come up with a big hit in a big spot. And today is just kind of it just magnifies that issue. And even beyond the batting average with runners in scoring position, both teams had two hits, although their average is slightly different. The difference really comes down to slug in a way because Torqulson comes up with a double with two on in the first inning and then a single. The Blue Jays have two singles with runners in scoring position. So the two hits for Detroit were three runs while the two singles for the Blue Jays worth two and they lose the game today 3-2 to drop the series. The Tigers end up with three runs on 11 hits today. Two errors committed, one in the ninth that nearly ended up giving the Blue Jays a chance to walk it off, but did not. The Blue Jays two runs on seven hits, no errors. Tigers left 10 on, Blue Jays left nine on. Jackson Job sets a Tigers record as they’ve won all eight of his first eight starts in a Detroit uniform. He picks up the win today to go to 4 and 0. Mason Flu Hardy has the loss as the eventual winning run was an inherited runner allowed by Braden Fischer to score. Will Vest ties the Tigers team high with his fifth save. This one took 2 hours and 45 minutes in front of over 36,000 at Roger Center. The Blue Jays lose. They’re 22 and 24. The Tigers a Major League Baseball best 31 and 16. Blue Jays have a day off tomorrow. They regroup and then take on the San Diego Padres’s. One of the best in baseball at Rogers Center starting on Tuesday, 7:07 First Pitch, 7:07 Eastern that is. Hope to see you there. But for now, we still got a lot going on on the Sportsnet Radio Network. So stick with us through the coverage up to game seven Maple Leafs Panthers. But thank you so much for tuning in today for our technical directors Austin Mackey and Tom Young. Our producer Nick Blackmore, our host Shaw Ali and my partner Chris Laroo. I’m Ben Schulman. Have a great rest of your night. Stick around for Blue Jays Talk and more. Blue Jays Talk with Show Ali and Danielle Franchesci starts right now on the Sports Radio Network. [Applause] Well, Delli, the script of this game is very similar to game one of this series where it felt like the Blue Jays had a lot of chances. They ultimately didn’t cash in on many of them. two for 12 with runners in scoring position, nine men left on base. Burios was grinding. I mean, he still gave them six innings of two-run ball. And we’ll talk about him, but I mean, once again, consistency just like just out of reach for the Jays in this one, which is a 32 loss to the Tigers. The Jays fall two games back below 500. They do lose the series. They are now 22 and 24 on the year, but it was a very close, I still think entertaining series with the visiting Detroit Tigers, but you can’t help but feel like there were a lot of really big opportunities missed in this one. Oh, I mean, show a series defined by missed opportunities and certainly this game in isolation today. You think about the various times where they got runners on early in innings with plenty of outs to to uh a flexibility with outs to play with. They had the first two guys reach Joe show in an inning three times today and amounted all of that into two runs and in fact one of them was left um to the responsibility of Ernie Clement cashing in with an opposite field two out single in the fourth inning. So it was there for the taking and Jackson Job certainly gave him plenty of opportunities to do damage. Uh they had a decent game plan it seemed at least offensively to start the game where attack the fast ball. We know he’s a guy that wants to throw the heater and even if it’s at 97 98 sure stuff is electric but at this stage of his career 22 years old going through the process of trying to become a a seasoned major league starting pitcher. He’s still learning the ropes and he’s more of a thrower than he is a pitcher in sequencing and location. It’s just the stuff is so electric. But he left the door open. Show he gave them plenty of opportunities. Even as this game progressed and you got into their bullpen, they just didn’t have that one timely hit that they so desperately needed. You were just waiting, sitting there waiting for that moment. Okay, is it going to come? You got a runner in scoring position. Is it going to come? You have your best players at the plate late in the game. Are they going to deliver? And the answer was unfortunately no. In the grand scheme of things, as you alluded to, I would agree. I would concur. It was a really entertaining series um top to bottom from uh Friday all the way through to the ball game tonight uh today in the series finale and they were separated by one run across the three games. Still, you can’t help but feel like they you walk away, if you’re the Toronto Blue Jays, knowing what your schedule entails, knowing you have San Diego coming in here on Tuesday, it’s a bit of a missed opportunity when you’re playing against a team that has the best record in baseball. And you just cannot come up with that big timely hit late in the game to get you over the top. The Blue Jays lose 32 uh to the Tigers. the series overall. Detroit nine runs, the Blue Jays eight runs, but ultimately they do fall after this series loss to 22 and 24 on the year. You’re listening, of course, to Jay Talk Show. Ali Delli Franceski with you.

So, I do want to talk about him today, Daniel Delli, but it’s it is certainly tough to put this one on him when he only allows two runs over six innings of work. Right. I mean, this one I think without a doubt falls on the offense. Jackson Job, like you said, showed off the potential, but he was certainly getable today. I mean, like I think you’re seeing with Job, just cuz I’m sure we’re not going to talk a lot about him, but I think you’re seeing why people, even if he has struggled to stay entirely consistent over the course of his very young career, I think you are seeing why people are excited about him. I mean, in Bose, I think it was his second AB today, Job threw him a 97 mph slider that ran 19 in. Like, that is absolutely bonkers. Like it started as a strike and then broke all the way back in towards Bow and all he could do is shake his head. Like I would say nobody gets a head off that pitch. Not even the game’s best pitcher or hitters are going to get a hit off that pitch. So I mean you’re seeing the tantalizing potential but he had a lot of traffic today and the Blue Jays like you alluded to just could not take advantage. I mean I I’m by no means saying it’s all on Anthony Son Derek because Vlatty was up at the plate with a game tying or even potential game-winning opportunity. Bo right before him actually grounded into what probably should have been the game ending out and who only gets a board because of a bobble by Ibanz. Like you needed more from everyone but Santandere 0 for four today with three strikeouts. I mean that’s a tough look like the whole offense remains inconsistent certainly but even with the injuries uh hip and shoulder for Santandere that’s a real tough go. No we definitely need to talk about Anthony Santandere. Uh, no question about it because this is uh become a running theme now. And in April, even going into the first week of May, we could sit back and say, okay, it’s okay, take a breath, take a beat, because historically, he’s always been a slow starter. And statistically speaking, it’s not a track record of one or two years. No, no, no. There’s an extensive track record there with this guy having very, very, very pedestrian uh production in the month of April throughout his career. But then once May rolls around, weather gets better, a little bit more uh seasoned in terms of just seeing more pitches and getting more at bats, getting more comfortable, he was taken off. Well, it’s now the middle of May effectively and he still looks completely bewildered in the box. And in fact, Joe, I’d kind of argue it’s it looks worse, right? Like he’s being fooled a lot. And I I think to um the last at bat where he had it was his second eight pitch at bbat of the day resulting in a strikeout as you mentioned the third of the day for him after going 0 for four to cap an 0 for four day and the sequencing of the pitches right he he’s he’s just doesn’t know what he’s looking for in the box right he’s he’s swinging in fast ball counts he’s waiting for off speed pitches and in offsp speed counts He’s looking for fast balls. It’s It’s just confusing to see a player and a hitter of that pedigree look so dysfunctional, look so uncomfortable in the box. And it is really alarming. It really is alarming because what was giving me hope in the first month of the season, really the first five weeks before we had the bizarre situation with his injury or omission from the lineup within this last 7 8 day period. What was giving me hope is that even even though he was striking out a lot and wasn’t hitting for average, you still saw the glimpses where he when when he is making contact, boy is that ball flying off his bat. We’re not seeing it as much lately in that regard, right? So, that in and of itself is a red flag for me. I am admittedly I am a little bit concerned. I I was preaching for the first four weeks, hey, don’t worry about it. Don’t be too concerned about it, but I’m worried. I’m worried about what we’re seeing from Anthony Santandere and the quality of at bats that he’s putting together. And Joe, it’s it’s also indicative of how they’re feeling internally right now. you know, today he hit fifth, but effectively if if George Springer’s in the lineup, what it means is he would be probably hitting sixth in the order. So, they clearly know he’s got some things he needs to iron out here and he needs to gain some confidence fast cuz they desperately need that bat and his production. Yeah. And what now 46 games played this season? Yeah, I’m I’m with you that I’m I’m past the idea that he’s a slow starter. I mean, and he sure maybe he still is, but it’s May 18th today and we’re well past the quarter pole mark of the season. So, if that’s the case, then I I’m I’m out on the idea that it’s a slow start. It has now gone from a slow start to a bad start. Uh Mike and Victoria on the text line 590 590 name and location is simple. No more talk of slow start for Santair. Uh between spring training and regular season games, Jays have played 74 games. Next year, uh let’s move him lower at least he can be above the Mendoza line. I think what Mike is saying is, you know, a lot of people have texted in to say, “Well, if you know he’s a slow starter, don’t bat him third every single game.” And and I understand the the desire because when he’s not batting like he’s he’s or he’s not hitting like he is right now, if you’re hitting him behind Vlatty, it makes a lot of sense. The only problem is when you’re not getting a ton of power from Bo Vlatty or Santandere, it looks real bad, right? I just I can’t help but think back to the off season and Barker said this a million billion times uh that the team needed not one but two thumpers, right? And that’s one of my favorite words that Barker says, thumpers. And the Jays went out there and they got one. But when when your Thumper the your big prized free agent acquisition is not even hitting like for average when he’s not even when he’s not even hitting at anything considered close to an MLB replacement level like he’s hitting close to a level where you’d like DFA most guys if they didn’t have so much money attached to him. Right? So when when you’re when that’s what you’re getting out of the big free agent acquisition and you’re not getting much from anywhere else. I said this a million times, but you’re like you have to walk the tight rope so finely to the point where even a grindy gutted out start from Burios that ultimately only allowed two runs still isn’t good enough. Yeah, it’s what we talked about before the game, too, because, you know, it’s great we can highlight a a lot of the um excellent contributions uh from the bottom half of your lineup and guys that are are really making a positive impression, whether it’s a Nathan Lucas, obviously Alejandro Kirk in this recent stretch where he’s been really good. Even George Springer being um you know, unexpectedly great for the first six weeks of the season. And you know, you can buy talk yourself into some of these other guys that are that are showing you something. That’s great. But it means nothing if the main contributors, the key cogs in your lineup aren’t doing it. If they aren’t delivering, you’re going to be in trouble. It’s as simple as that, Joe. And I think even from Santandere’s perspective, you know, I’m glad you referenced what Barker always talks about and what he’s been preaching, you know, going back to last October, uh, really even middle of last season when we had to start looking ahead and saying they need not just not one guy, they need two guys. They need two thumpers that you compare with Vlad and Bo to make you feel good about the top four guys in your order and you feel like you have a little bit more length and depth. and why it’s important. They went and they spent on Santandere, but you can’t tell me that he’s not gripping the bat a little bit tighter and he’s not feeling the weight, right? He’s not feeling like he has a boulder on his shoulder right now because he knows they are desperately relying on him to provide power. They explicitly sign him for the sole purpose of hitting the ball over the fence and driving runs in. That’s why he’s here. And it’s difficult for him to also carry that weight around because Vlad and Bo, statistically speaking, have been fine. Their numbers are okay. They’re not prodigious home run hitters in a traditional sense. You want more power from them certainly, but literally the one guy in the lineup that is being asked to, hey, stand in that box and you better hit homers, otherwise we are we’re done. We’re we’re in bad shape. It’s number 25. It’s Anthony Santandere. And I can’t help but think I saw him, you know, uh foul off two pitches. One was a change up. Middle middle fouls it off in a leverage count. Fast ball 93 m anph. Middle middle fouls it off where he almost struck out. You’ll remember it popped in and out of the the catcher mid. Dingler couldn’t hang on to it for the foul tip strikeout. Right. You don’t see a guy with his talent miss those stakes and it’s rare you get two and one at bat and he still couldn’t convert. I just think he’s feeling it. He’s wearing it a little bit right now because he feels the pressure of what they want and need him to do in order for this team to be successful. 4168705901860590 star 590 on yourself. Those are the numbers for you to call. Go back to the text line in a sec. 59590 name and location. But let’s go to the phones. Let’s go to Russ in New Jersey. Russ, welcome to Jay Talk. What’s on your mind? I’m in Toronto. All right. Just I just came out just throwing the Leaf game, but uh went to the Blue Jay game today. Um I thought you guys would be talking about Alejandro Kirk’s infield single. Come on. That was that was that was But you know what’s the most frustrating is we it’s obvious. I’m not going to you know Santander’s been terrible, but what’s the most frustrating is this division is so there. You know, we all thought, and I keep saying this, that Baltimore was going to be this team. They got they fired their manager. They’re still getting clobbered. Boston’s not that good. I don’t believe the Yankees are that good. You know, if if we got a little the pitching that we’ve gotten for the most part, and I know the RA doesn’t prove it. And Burrito’s today wasn’t great, but he bearered down with guys on base and he made the big pitches when he had to. And it’s just frustrating because you think, hey, we don’t have to be that great to win this division this year. I don’t know what it’s going to take yet, but I don’t see anybody run away. In the past, if you had a record two games under 500, 46 games into the year, you would have probably been eight games, you know, out of the out of the division lead. So, they still have a chance to put this together. I know it’s it’s you know I know it’s it’s definitely frustrating to watch but it just you know you just think like what could be here you know Boston I I know a lot of people love Boston Parker told said on the air he had a friend thought Boston’s going to run away with it I never saw that in Boston but you know you just think like what if what if this team could get the big hits and you know in the first inning we got a little unlucky you know Voel hits a rocket var Marshall hit three rockets and the one he hit the soft the softest the softest ball he hit he got a double. The other two he got robbed. So it’s it’s a little frustrating, but listen, I I don’t know what’s going to happen, but there’s still hope cuz this division is not that good. Before you go, Russ, uh puck drop of game seven is about less than three hours. You got a score prediction for us since you’re going to the game? I don’t want to talk about it. I I’ve been I’ve been going to games in Sitler and Lanny and Tiger and I still it’s it’s amazing. I’ll tell you how many former Leafs like I speak to Russ Cortel a lot. He plays for the Leafs. I speak to him a lot. We’re still very friendly and these guys like love the Leafs. They just love the Leafs. And there’s so many guys pulling for the Leafs. And listen, I think it’s going to be you’re you’re taking on the Stanley Cup champions. I don’t want to jinx it. I I think listen you know what I thought we everyone thought we were for you know we were dead after game five and they came up and they played the game so you’re hoping that you know game seven the leaf game is a little different. I came to I flew in for game six last year against Boston and we won and then we lost the pass in that game. So I don’t want to predict I can’t predict. I’ll just watch and uh be very very nervous tonight. All right. Well thank you for the call Russ. Enjoy the game. Thanks for calling in and making the flight to Toronto. I I I thought we might get a score prediction, but I guess I I guess not. Daniel, Nashville Lee fans, they they are very very superstitious and they are set up for they’re conditioned for disappointment. I I feel it. I I as someone who was born and raised in Toronto, I I understand Russ’s uh his reticence, but okay, let’s talk about the what he said about the division because I’m I’m kind of with him in that like I I have over the course of a very long period of time hoped that the American League East would not every single year just consistently be a juggernaut year in and year out. Like, oh, this year it’s the Rays that’s winning a 100 games. Oh, this year it’s the Yankees going to the World Series. Oh, this year the Orioles are winning 100 games now, right? Like it’s just it’s it it just you think to yourself, okay, well, when will it be the Jay’s turns to experience some kind of success in the American League East with these this set of players? And you look at the the scoreboard today. I mean, to to Russ’s point, the Orioles got pummeled again. They’re they’re 15 games below 500. I mean, the Jays do lose, but the the Rays lose in the Citrus series to the Marlins down in Miami. I mean, the Red Sox went up 4 nothing and then got absolutely pummeled by the Braves. Like, it’s not as though this is the same division in years past, right? You have you have an opportunity here. But I made, you know, I made this comment yesterday, but the the the monkey paw has somewhat curled because not only is the rest of the team, the rest of the division not so great, the Jays are also lacking this consistency. So, I just I I think it’s definitely doable, but I mean, if you’re going to be plus minus two, three games above or below 500 for the rest of the year, I mean, you got to do a little bit better than that. Oh, you do. It’s inevitable. Uh there’s going to be a handful of teams that create a little bit of separation. Even if it’s not a drastic gulf between teams that are in the wildard picture, there will still be, and we know this, it happens every year, there there will be enough separation created. Um, but it’s it is fascinating when it comes to this division in particular that it’s always been such a gauntlet, right? It’s it’s the powerhouse division in the American League and you feel like you get your if you’re any franchise in this AL East, it’s you you have bad luck because of the division you play in. But let’s call it what it is right now, show in 2025, it’s kind of mediocre, right? Because there are teams with a lot of question marks and and I know you you’ve probably heard this line a bunch as well. Blair loves to say it all the time, every day almost on the daily. Blair and Barker, uh, where Jeff refers to the best team in the American League East right now, it’s Aaron Judge and Max Freed. That’s the best team in the American League East right now at this moment. Judge hitting over 400, Max Freed, uh, carrying the Yankees pitching staff. And that’s kind of it. The Red Sox, I I like Barker, I feel very strongly. I think Boston’s got a good opportunity to be the team that takes a huge step forward this year in that division. But Baltimore to say you’re stunned uh with what’s gone on there, I think that’s kind of an understatement. Do we think there are maybe some flaws? Sure. But did you expect them to be 15 games under 500 through 45 games played? I don’t think anybody saw that coming. So, the opportunity exists. When’s the last time we looked at the totality of this division and you had only one team with a record that is above 500? When did the AL Central all of a sudden replace the AL East as the powerhouse division in the American League? It’s it it is it is wild and the opportunity does exist to make up ground and to play well against your divisional opponents in 2025. It’s why the Jays do have one of the more um difficult schedules on paper going into the season. It was that way. Strength of schedule was not something that was particularly favorable to them, but they’ve done okay up until this point. You just feel like show and as somebody that watches and covers the team on a daily basis, there have been a lot of moments where you’re saying, man, in three months they might wish they had that game, right? They might wish they got that one. And today’s another example of that where you had plenty of chances with runners in scoring position and even your best hitters at the plate including in the ninth inning. You just need the one big swing and who knows what the rest of your season looks like or when September rolls around those five six games that you had in April and May they come in handy and that’s where the Jays find themselves right now. You just hope it doesn’t bite you when you get deeper into the schedule. Or 1 168705901860590 star 590 on yourself. Let’s go back to the phones. Let’s go to Jen in Toronto. Jen, welcome to JT Talk. What’s on your mind? Oh, hi. Uh, same old thing. Um, yeah, I know the AL is weak and um, the thing is the Central’s so good that we come second even to the Yankees. It means nothing. But as I said before, Son, I mean, he can’t muster a sack fly, a ground ball, anything. He’s been up, it seems, always and always and always. And what are your thoughts on putting them down the eighth or whatever? The man has no confidence or he’s hurt. I don’t know what it is. I know he wasn’t hurt. Luckily, they have the excuses. Shoulder sore. So, but I mean, he just hasn’t done anything. I mean, he’s minus six or whatever. Hey. Yeah, Jen, appreciate the call. Thank you so much as always. I uh I mean, look, I mean, if you’re talking about Santandere Delli going on the IIL, I I suppose that’s possible. Well, I almost I kind of wonder if like a reason he hasn’t gone on the IIL is because there are not a lot of other options right now on the team. Like I suppose you could call Rhoden back up. I think he’s been hitting a little bit better as of late. I suppose you could get away with doing that because Roden’s probably not getting as long as Lucas and Barger who both have been looking pretty good all things considered. I mean, no one looked great today. So, you know, today notwithstanding, but generally speaking, they both have WRC pluses that are pretty positive for guys of their stature, all things considered. So, unless one of those guys really falls off, it would seem unlikely that Roden gets called back up. But, I mean, gosh, the it just the problem with putting us on Town Darren IIL, for example, I think is just because there’s no one else, it it makes that decision so much harder to the point where you kind of have to hit him. But because he’s been so poor, I think it begs a valid question. I think Jen got got to it to a certain extent that maybe you should try it with someone else just to give him a bit of a blow right now just just to see if that works. I’m not saying he’s like overworked or you know he’s he’s he’s poor him because he’s getting paid a lot of money, but I mean at the same time if it’s not working like you got to try something to spark this guy at some point. It’s a valid point. Uh given what we’ve seen, I think nothing should be off the table. In saying that, Joe, in terms of bumping him even further down, I do think when the lineup is is whole, and by that I mean George Springer is included. Obviously, today gets a day off, he pinch hits, but doesn’t start. I think you’re probably going to see him hit sixth in the lineup. I think that’s and I don’t know that it’s going to get any worse than that. Vo and Kirk hitting higher than him, I guess. Correct. Verso and Kirk hitting higher than him. Springer included there. And then obviously Bow and Vlad. I just don’t know. Can you justify hitting, you know, Ernie Clement ahead of him? I I get it based on the numbers maybe, but but it’s still Anthony Santandere and you hope at some point it’s going to turn and the the bonafidees are going to eventually kick in and and he’s just going to go back to being the guy that he’s been throughout his major league career for the most part, which is somebody that hits 30 plus homers and drives in 90 plus runs because that’s what he’s always done. He’s never been a guy that hits for average. So don’t we should never look at the on base percentage or the average. What we should be focused on is is he hitting the ball over the fence? Is he doing damage? Cuz that’s the only area that he’s been consistent throughout his major league career. It’s never that the quality and consistency of the bats are great, but it’s just that he does a lot of damage because he’s a very naturally gifted hitter and there’s a lot of violence when he makes contact with the basket uh with the basketball with the baseball. That’d be impressive though. That would be impressive as well. But he’s got a lot of power clearly. Um I I did want to and and as Jen was talking there’s one thing that really resonated with me as well. Um going back to the fourth inning today where she you know she joked about you know can’t even hit a sack fly. He steps up to the plate Sonere it ends up being an eight pitch at bat his first of two on the day but he has runners on the corners with nobody out and can’t find a way to get the ball in the outfield to cash a runner. And when you can’t do that and you’re seeing that many pitches, great. You work an eight pitch at bat, but your job there is literally let me find any way possible to put this ball in play so that runner from third base with no outs can come home to score, right? And they almost it almost came back to bite them because I referenced it earlier in our in our postgame show uh show where I mentioned the two out RBI from Clement where he bails him out essentially and and and makes it so that the Jays don’t walk away with only one run in that inning. Instead, they’re able to even the score in the bottom of the fourth. That ends up being the only offense they were able to muster all day. The and the one other item I’ve been sitting on this for a couple days now show Sean and I’m not sure if you caught on to this over the last 48 hours when it comes to Santandere the whole confluence of of events leading up to um today where he gets back in the lineup and the explanations we’ve been given over the last 48 hours has been kind of confusing perplexing even you go to Friday and we know John Schneider has his regular uh Friday hit that he he does with Blair Barker he joins them every Friday so The guys asked him on Friday afternoon, just hours before the opener here against Detroit, ask him about Santandere, what’s going on, you know, and how he’s feeling and and where his mindset is right now. And John John’s not one to ever kind of sugarcoat things or mislead people. I think maybe that’s a better way to put it. And he he made no mention of any any physical issues or hey, he’s working through things. It was all about how he’s he’s working his tail off. He’s grinding. We’ve got all different coaches that are having conversations with him. We’re trying different things. No illusion to the fact that he there’s something bugging him. And then we learn after the game on Friday when he doesn’t play, oh, he’s got some type of shoulder issue. And then we get an explanation yesterday where it’s hip impingement and now he’s playing today. So, there’s a little bit of contradiction in the messaging in the last three days when it comes to his status. And I just overall I found that a little bit curious. I thought it was worth raising because they usually are very good with that stuff. And so I don’t know if it indicates they don’t even have a full read on what’s going on, but clearly something is going on in addition to him just not having the level of confidence he needs when he’s in the box right now. See, I I will disagree with you in the sense that I think I do think John Schneider does generally speaking is pretty he’s pretty honest and open. I don’t know if that I I would agree that the team is very open and honest about their their communicating of injuries. I I would actually say the opposite. I would say Atkins and well that’s Chapyro because he doesn’t really deal with this stuff on a day-to-day basis as far as I understand. But Atkins and the rest of the front office who do deal with this stuff are like I would say they’re like the most opaque front office in maybe all of baseball. Like they they generally speaking do not give you very open updates until like the literal last possible second. But I I do agree with you because I remember we did on Friday we did like a podcast only edition. Was it Friday? Yeah. A podcast only edition of JT Talk and because of the lease game and I remember on J Talk I questioned at the very beginning of the game, hey like it was bizarre that Santandere I know Schneider said in his pregame availability, the one that was on camera, hey like we you know we’re going to we’re just giving Santandere a blow. It’s a lot of good messaging and but still he’s working his tail off. all the things you were saying he he said both to Blair and Barker and to Hazel and Ardan and and and the cameras and then he doesn’t pinch hit at the end of that game in a situation where I think they let I think it was Clement who pinch hit at the end of that game with two two on and two out and obviously it didn’t work out. They lose 54 and I remember questioning like why don’t why didn’t they go to Santandere and then the next day you find out he was injured and you’re like oh well they clearly knew this before. So anyways, I I I do think I do think maybe there’s a little bit of a divide between what like John Schneider is allowed to say sometimes to the media. I think a lot of teams are like that, but but yeah, I I do think the Blue Jays are are are not maybe in the middle of the pack, maybe closer to towards the bottom of the pack when it comes to uh uh transparency around injury when it comes to their players. Uh 41687059186590 star 590 on your cell. Let’s go back to the phones and let’s go to Frank and Barry. Frank joining us here on Jay’s Talk. Frank, what’s on your mind? Uh I just a little bit of a defense uh for Santon there. Sure. Go ahead. Um I’m not sure where he batted in the lineup for Baltimore those last few years, but uh they had a pretty good hitting team. Now he comes over to a new team, big salary. I think he’s trying too hard for one thing. And if I’m not mistaken, he’s knocked in 16 runs. They brought him over to knock in runs and Guerrero, he’s gonna own 20. That’s only a four run difference. Yeah. Hey, Frank, I appreciate the call. And I I and I see what you’re getting at. You’re getting at the idea that like it’s not it’s not all on Santandere that I But I think he’s over trying, right? And one other question, but don’t mind. Sure. Go ahead. Uh your coach took out a guy pitching that was pitching really good, has been pitching good, right? to bring in that young guy. I didn’t understand that move. All right. Well, thank you for the call, Frank. I appreciate you joining us. Uh, look, I I will say I did not have a quibble with taking out Brios because Burrios and we haven’t really talked about Brios, I suppose, Dell. And we show He was actually referencing the Flu Hardy. Flu Hardy. Okay. I thought he said two outs in that. I thought he said I thought he was talking about the starter cuz if he was talking about the starter, I have no quibbles to bringing out taking out uh Brios cuz he had really grinded. If he’s talking about taking out Flu Hardy for Braden Fischer, I mean that is I got to say that is ballsy because Fischer it’s easily the highest leverage moment of Braden Fischer’s entire career. And and again I mean I don’t know he he does obviously give up the run. Flu Hardy it was an inherited run for uh for Flu Hardy that goes to his ledger because Fischer gives up the hit. Uh Fischer did come out for the next inning and still got out of it. So definitely positiveish but I can understand the the frustration because Flu Hardy has been so consistent. And I could also understand people quibbling with taking out Flu Hardy for Fiser specifically. I mean, you could like you could have if you wanted to gone to Jimmy Garcia um who had who had only thrown I think eight pitches yesterday. So I think that was definitely a possibility as well. Uh the only the only thing I if you really want to quibble with anything and this is maybe nitpicking a little bit but I’ll I’ll present it as a caveat although in the moment it’s not like I was terribly upset about it. um in going away from Flu Hardy with two outs in the inning and I think that would have been the seventh. Two outs in the seventh. They lined it up perfectly where they found the right pocket to try and get him in. Carrie Carpenter who doesn’t hit lefties well at all. He’s literally the most drastic splits driven player in baseball. Um and if he could ever hit an ounce against left-handed pitching, guy would be an all-star with the level of production he gives you. That’s how that’s how dynamic of a talent he is in the box. He just can’t hit lefties. So, it’s Carrie Carpenter, it’s Glabber Torres who’s in there as the righty in the two-hole. And then it was Riley Green. So, they were banking on, hey, can you get us through those three guys in a clean inning so that we don’t have to take you out with Spencer Torqulson stepping up as the cleanup hitter? Well, that didn’t happen obviously. And so, they were going to the pre they were predispositioned already. We’re going to make that change regardless if Torqulson gets up there. And I think it’s fine. Like the process was fine. I understand it. The only thing you can quibble with show potentially is instead of going to Braden Fiser, you go to Jimmy Garcia first. That’s it. That’s the only thing you can sort of argue in that spot because the game was tied. And Braden Fischer comes on and he’s inherits a runner in scoring position. And the second pitch he throws is Spencel to uh Spencer Spencer Torlson lining a base hit to center field that scores the go-ahead run. The Jays can’t score muster any other offense. And that’s how we end up with our result today 3-2. So in the highest leverage of moments in this game, I guess technically I’d rather see Jimmy Garcia with the ball in his hand standing on the rubber. He did end up pitching anyway later on and I was almost the only part where I did get a little little irritated show in the ballpark in between innings after Braden Fischer retired uh the final out in the seventh. Jimmy Garcia got up to start throwing in the bullpen and I was thinking you could have did it 5 minutes ago and he could have potentially been in the game and you lose with one of your best two relievers on the mound if it happens. It’s more defensible than having a guy that’s still getting his feet wet pitching in a big spot. Do you have any uh any thoughts before we go back to the phones on Burios? Just because we’re talking about the pitching right now. I mean, again, today was I suppose a mixed bag for him, right? Six innings of work, eight hits, two runs, both of which were earned early in the game. One walk, which is something we were talking about in the pregame. Uh four strikeouts. Now, eight hits, right? Right. I mean, it was a I think it was a mixed bag in in the sense of command, but I do think the best two items for Bereios were today. One, he did manage to still pitch like relatively deep into this game to help out the bullpen, albeit ahead of an off day, but still, and two, I mean, despite looking somewhat scattered command-wise for a good chunk of the start, he only gave up two runs and one walk, and none of those runs came after the first inning, right? I mean, today was like relatively low for me on like the watchability scale for Burios, but I mean, one aspect of his game I’ve always enjoyed is that even when he’s battling, he somehow always seems to grind out a pretty decent start. I’m sure like I’m sure many people would agree that today was not a pretty start, but that he only allowed two runs over six innings of work where he didn’t have his greatest stuff. Has like I think you probably view that as a win, even though I’m not sure we learned anything new about him today. I don’t I don’t think we learned anything new. uh he gave them a chance to win. And I think for any of the starters in this staff right now, that’s that’s what you ask. That’s what you’re asking of of them, you know, cuz show up until today, they had scored at least three runs in 15 of their last 16 games. So now this is the second time in their last 17 ball games where they’ve failed to score at least three runs. Brios did more than enough. Even without his A a stuff, his B stuff, even B+ stuff, he still found a way to battle through the start and give you six innings on a day where you needed him to work deeper into the game because your bullpen, not that it’s been terribly taxed, but certainly you had a handful of guys that had already pitched on back-to-back days, you needed him to give you at least six innings, and he he did. He found a way. Now, if I if I’m going to identify one thing that really kind of concerns me moving forward here with him and has and has been a developing trend, you know, we’ve talked about the command uh and the location specifically with his his fast ball, his sinker. He missed the spot a lot. He did. He missed a ton of spots. The one pitch show I would be totally content if I never see him throw it again. I don’t like the cutter whatsoever. It’s 9192 show. It’s 91 92 mph and he missed his spot every single time with that pitch. And I’m and I had the good fortune of sitting in your seat today where you would normally be seated here at the Roger Center in between Ben and Chris as they’re calling the game. And literally every time he threw the cutter, Chris was just losing his mind cuz it’s 90. He he even at one point called it it’s essentially a BP fast, right? Whereas his sinker at least has the movement and the four seamer has more life with the velocity. The cutter doesn’t accomplish anything. And I again, we we clearly didn’t have his best stuff. Spin rate was significantly down compared to any other outing this year. Velocity was right around where he usually is, but the location wasn’t great. I would again, I’d be totally content. Please don’t throw the cutter again. I would tell him, you are now banned from throwing the cutter. Done. Get rid of that pitch. Like, get rid of it. He um the the cutter to McKinstry in the top of the first inning like it just didn’t cut. And to your point, the four seam fast because it didn’t have the movement of a cutter just looked like a 90 mph fastball right down the middle guys. As down the middle as you can throw a four seam fast except it was a cutter essentially. So I’m I’m I’m with you. 4168705918 600590 star 590 on your cell. Let’s go back to the phones before we take a break. Let’s go to Ryan in Inisville. Ryan, welcome to Jay Talk again. What’s up, man? What’s going on, fellas? How we doing today? Good. Uh, what’s on your mind? Uh, today I want to just basically talk about do you guys think that the, for lack of a better term, downfall of the offense and Vladimir and Bose’s production pertains to not having enough power in the lineup. Um, I’ll give examples of it. In 2021, we had seven players in the lineup with 20 home runs or more. Vlatty obviously had one of the greatest seasons he’s ever seen that year. So maybe power is a contagious thing for him and not something that he can be the sparker of. In 2022, that number went down to four. He still hit 30 home runs. The next year it went down to three, 27 home runs. Then the year after that, it went down to zero, back up to 30 home runs. So, I I’m not sure if there’s something there, but it feels like he’s never going to be the leader of it, but he’s like the greatest follower you could ever ask for. I’m curious if that’s kind of what you think. If you think the struggles he’s having are purely just himself, or if you do think that maybe he requires a little spark from teammates. He he needs everyone else to be hitting home runs for himself to actually be hitting home runs. Hey, Ryan, appreciate the call as always, man. Yeah, I think I mean look in the in the offseason Delli, we talked a lot about how Vlatty could do from seeing better pitches because of with the idea of having better protection, right? And I think you you kind of figured that would come with Anthony Santandere. I don’t want to like spend the whole episode of this the postgame show harping on Anthony Santandere because I think the point has been well made at this point. I I think it’s it’s a little bit of column A. It’s a boring answer. It’s a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B. I think you’re not benefiting from getting any protection, but also he’s hitting the ball on the ground a lot, right? And again, for me, it’s not even the home runs. Like, I I think it’s just you want to see him, you want to see the hard contact, but you also want to see him lift the ball with that hard contact. Like, I would settle I’ve said this many times, for Bo, too, to a lesser extent from Bo, but certainly it applies to both of them. I would settle for hard contact and doubles into the gap just as much as I would settle for home runs from Vlatty. Yes, home runs are sexy and and and chicks dig the long ball and all that stuff. Yes, 10,000%. But I just you’re not you’re not even quote unquote seeing that from Vlatty. And and it’s funny to harp on him because I mean tonight or today he he had one hit and two walks one for three. I believe he extended his on base streak to 19 games, which is pretty incredible. So if you again I said this to Jesse yesterday, if if you said player X walked twice and had a hit in a one for three day, he’s batting 288 after his 46th game of the season and has a 19game on base streak. You would say great, sign me up for that. Like give me give me more of that. But when you replace player X with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., it sounds a lot less sexy. That’s the key. The name on the back demands higher expectations. The expectations are higher. And it’s not even just because of the name on the back and the lineage and even um the the track record for him as a big leager. It’s the fact that show just uh short three weeks ago, a month ago, whatever it was, he signed a half a billion dollar extension, right? There there is pressure to perform. There are expectations. You are being relied upon to deliver like an Aaron Judge, like a Yordon Alvarez, like a show Otani, like a Juan Sodto. That’s that’s where you are now. That’s where you are. You are in that same ballpark in terms of what the expectations are. fair or not that is where you are based on your positioning in the sport from a financial perspective. You better be that. Otherwise, yeah, we can’t we can’t just evaluate you as the guy hitting seventh in the order that’s hitting a 285 and has three homers, but he’s getting on base and like you said, we we strip it all the way and say guy went one for three with two walks. Pretty good day. Pretty good day. It doesn’t apply in the same fashion for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and and I do agree with your answer and your point. I I do think it’s a little bit of column A, column B with this. I I’m I mean I’ve always been, you know, kind of superstitious with Vlatty when it comes to where he hits in the order. You know, where where has he been the most productive hitter during his it’s in the three-hole. The stats don’t lie. And and I know people say, “Ah, that’s just, you know, that’s kind of that’s that’s uh that’s unpredictable. That’s not necessarily there’s no there’s no rhyme or reason for it. There’s as the Khakis would look, they can’t find a metric to help you identify why he hits better in the three-hole than the two- hole. But all I know is there’s enough of a difference there, particularly in terms of raw power production, extra base hits and home runs, that for me, I would feel compelled to hit him third. Right. And part of the allure of having an Anthony Sandere when they brought him in was you finally felt like maybe we actually have a cleanup hitter. Maybe the Blue Jays have actually answered that fill-in-theblank question. Who is the cleanup hitter for this team? And yet, we haven’t seen him hit technically cleanup in the four hole. Now, last year he moved around to answer and I think it was uh Frank that had asked the question earlier just in terms Yeah. Just where he was. So, you know, his time was pretty evenly split between the two, three, four hole. Uh a lot of and even the five hole. He had a lot of regular at bats in the five hole, but he was a guy that always hit third or fourth. So less less with him in terms of is there a comfortability with a specific spot because it was more dispersed. But for Vlatty, it’s pretty clear last year when he had a great year, hit over 300, had 30 homers again and 100 RBI, where did he hit? He hit third. Yeah, I think I’m with you. I mean, look, if you’re if you’re already moving things around because of the struggles of Anthony Santandere and it’s not that Vlad is struggling because again hitting 288 is pretty darn good, but that he’s struggling to hit for power if you are moving things around already. I mean, gosh, I said this a million times before the season started. As long as they’re not married to locking guys
