How did the Blue Jays' 3-1 win and Shane Bieber's performance change the team's outlook?
That's a little more like it. The Toronto Blue Jays win a game on Thursday. They avoid a sweep at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays. They win 3-1. Shane Bieber, excellent for a second consecutive start. David Schneider was back. Yohingi Pinyongo, who came back the other day, doubled. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer both contributed a couple of hits. So, for a day, things looked like we were hoping they would look for a... couple of months um obviously it's only one game the blue jays have a very very large hole to dig themselves out of that goes beyond uh one game they are still nine games under 500 they are still last in the american league east they are still six games back of a wild card spot uh playoff odds jumped from about seven percent to nine and a half percent with that three one win yesterday they will uh
have to keep it rolling against the hottest team in baseball. The Red Sox recently won 15 in a row. That ended Wednesday night and the second night of a doubleheader, and they were off yesterday. So... Yeah, no hotter team to try to continue against. And the Blue Jays have had some fun series against Boston in Fenway over the last couple of years. David Schneider in particular seems to have a fondness for hitting there. Can you take a couple off the hottest team in baseball? The team that is, you have a lot of teams to jump, but the team that is currently in a wild card, the final wild card spot that you're chasing, they're pretty big games. If we're being pragmatic and realistic about all this stuff, we are almost certainly spending next week talking about the Blue Jays' trade deadline.
sellers. And on August 3rd, we'll be talking about the best trade deadline sellers for four hours on this show. But where you do sweep the Red Sox or something like that, maybe the conversation changes just for a couple of days. Maybe you can squint and see it, but you need to really squint We've got a fun show lined up. We'll talk to Stephen J. Nesbitt of The Athletic. Has a really cool piece up with Zach Meisel talking to a lot of GMs about how trades come together and particularly how multi-team trades come together. We'll talk some kind of high-level trade deadline theorizing. We'll talk to Tyler Milliken of Section 10 and Baseball is Dead. Get the side of the Red Sox 15-game win streak and preview the series on that side.
We'll also talk to Alex Faust. It is a Friday night baseball on Apple TV plus game tonight. So Alex will be on the call with Ryan Spielberg's and our pal, Trisha Whitaker. We will talk to him. We've talked to Ryan Spielberg's and Trisha Whitaker a lot on this show over the years, but I've never spoken to Alex Faust before. Cool career, Alex Faust has. You YouTube him, and it's, well, best goal call compilations, best touchdown call compilations, best home run call compilations, plus he does tennis, so a little bit of everything there. We'll also talk to our pal Jonah Bierenbaum momentarily here, but there are tech issues going on, so I will spin my wheels while they figure that out. 3-1 win yesterday, a couple of small updates there.
down on the farm while we wait for Jonah. Oh, we got Jonah. Okay, we'll do the farm updates later. Jonah Bierenbaum of The Score joins us now. Jonah, how we doing, buddy?
Doing good, man. Wow, weathered those technical difficulties with aplomb. Shout out to your crew.
I can't see you, though. Oh, there he is. There he is. Were the technical difficulties that you look too handsome?
Yeah, I've been contending with that one my whole life. But, you know, it's my cross to bear, but I'm powering through.
Yeah, well, I appreciate you fighting through it for us today. So Jays win one yesterday, 3-1. We'll get into some of the specifics. And obviously the bats coming around would be nice. But over the last 25 games where the bats haven't been there. If they were going to take some games, that's kind of what it has to look like, right? The defense is a little sharper. You get a little bit of starting pitching. You turn it over to those leverage arms in your pen that actually have been pretty good.
