What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, we're back. Oh, boy. How you doing?
Oh, living the dream.
You got to get in line for that.
Happy day after Canada Day.
Yeah, beautiful day today. Boy, it's hot, huh?
Not really.
It's hot in the hammer?
Not really hot. It's summer. It's supposed to be hot.
Oh, you're lying. I'm asking you a question. Well, you complained yesterday. You said it was in the 40, mid-40s?
It was 49. In the hammer? It was 49 with the Humidex. Wow. That's toasty. I mean, it's not 49.
Thank goodness you got that air conditioner put in.
That's good. That's all good. Hell, yeah. It's better to have it too hot than too cold.
I agree with that, 100%. Tarps off, smoking a cigar. Doing a little mowing.
I don't know about tarps off.
You got it, Joey. That's what I say.
Yeah, I guess.
I feel frisky when they win. I don't know why. It's better when they – because they lose a lot. So it's like when they win, they do everything right. It's like, whew, boy.
Well, they did. I mean, they had a laugher yesterday. They did. The Jays have today off before opening a three-game series against the Mariners. What a way to start the show. What a way to start the show. But, yeah, no, they won 9-3 yesterday.
It was a laugher.
It was.
It was a laugher. It was a hoot. It was tremendous. It's so good that we were okay with Patrick Corbin going five innings.
Absolutely. We loved it. We loved seeing Patrick Corbin go five innings. Maybe the last time we say that, but we loved Patrick Corbin going five innings. Loved a lot of things yesterday. The lineup, no George. Nathan Lucas. You're going to beat that to death, aren't you? Well, you were the one that brought it up in Blue Jay Central.
Who'd you rather have leading off against right-handers? I don't even think you have to talk about that. We're going to ask John tomorrow. John's coming out at 4.30 tomorrow.
What were the highlights of the Blue Jays' Canada Day win?
4.30? Right. We're going to ask him. That's probably... First or second question that will be asked.
Yeah, George, of course, is on the paternity list. And shout out to George. Yeah, congratulations. Child numero number three. Yeah, pretty cool. For the Springers. In his absence, the Jays, as we said, together a 9-3 win over the Mets. Lots of good stuff out of the lineup. Sean Keyes, his first career home run. Miles Straw with the three-run home run. That's no joke. Yeah, there was just a lot of good stuff. And, I mean, really, you know, driving up the pitch count against Freddy Peralta, starting with Nathan Lucas in the first inning, that 9-pitch at bat. And, hey, you know what? I mean... We talk about him when things don't always go well. I thought Vladdy had maybe one of the best swings he's had in a couple of weeks.
I think that's fair.
I think that's one of the best games he's had all year.
And, yeah, correct. How about that? In terms of running the bases, a hustling double. The defense he played? And the defense was terrific. Oh, it was tremendous. I mean, he looked limber. Yeah. Back looked good. It's interesting, too. We'll be joined by Ben Nicholson-Smith later on in the show. We'll talk to him about this as well. But... Vladdy had a bit of a... Vladdy opened up a little bit to Shai and to Dan Schulman before the game yesterday. And it was interesting hearing him talk about... And I think we kind of suspected this with the back issue. You know, Vladdy saying 300 swings before the game, 100 swings after the game. We know... I mean, you've seen him put work in in the cage after games. He walked right by him.
Yeah. And just... I mean, I really... It was good to hear, or it was good to hear, it was good to read, but I also kind of, you kind of got the impression almost that Vladdy was kind of second-guessing how he went about his off-season work. saying he's learned some stuff about this year, which is great for the next 13 years of that contract, but boy, I don't know if it necessarily makes me feel real good about 2026.
Okay, now to be fair, he did have a pretty good end to his season last year. He did. And he basically came running into the WBC. He was stomping things in the WBC, and then he showed up for the season.
