What led to the Blue Jays' recent loss to the Giants?
We've got to tell you, when we come on the show and the commercial right before we start is Blue Jays baseball tonight in the voice of Ben Schulman. Lately, it sounds like a threat more than a promise. Easy to get excited for baseball all the time, particularly A little tougher right now with the Blue Jays playing how they are. A pretty brutal and season-defining loss last night. They lose 10-1 to a pretty bad Giants team. They let a struggling pitcher go eight innings just cruising. They make a calamity of misplays in the field that give the Giants additional opportunities and extend innings and add runs. And Kevin Gosman is not at his best, but his defense kind of fails him as well. And on the offensive side, in addition to letting land a Rube Cruz, they...
Threaten the franchise record for scoreless inning streaks. They got to 29. The record is 32, and maybe we'll spend some time today looking at the 2018 that did 31 because I went back and looked at those game logs, and man, if you think you feel insane right now, the... The game log from that stretch in 2008 is wild as well. Outside of this show, I just want to take a second. So Kyle Lowry's retirement press conference is going on right now. Kawhi Leonard is there. Larry Tannenbaum is there, who just sold his final stake in MLSC to Rogers. Vince Carter just apparently FaceTimed into Kyle Lowry's presser. This is a baseball show, and baseball and basketball, you can't translate back and forth. But... I have covered the Raptors a lot over the years, and I think any time the best player in franchise history
is being honored like that in any sport, it's worth reflecting on what they meant to the city and why and how, and those things are translatable across sports and across franchises. Kyle meant a lot to the Raptors, and as we continue to talk about the Blue Jays lacking an identity or not being able to play to their identity or what's different from this year to last, it does color... Again, they're not direct comparisons, but it does color that the Kyle Lowry era with the Raptors was defined by a very consistent culture and a very consistent level of winning. No, they didn't always get all the way to the finish line, but there was a level of constant competition and constant standards. and constant competitiveness that those teams met.
The Toronto Blue Jays are not meeting that right now. And after the game, there were a lot of quotes. Keegan Matheson has some of them at MLB.com. Shai Davidi has some of them at Sportsnet.ca. They are not particularly glowing.
Who is Jojo Parker and why is he a top prospect for the Blue Jays?
There are a lot of searching for answers. There is John Schneider talking about the team not playing well, obviously. Kevin Gosman alluding to some conversations internally, not quite the level of this is a team meeting and things like that. But, you know, there are conversations going on internally. Ernie Clement has continued to use bad words to describe their level of play. And he did that before last night's game, where there were a whole bunch of mistakes that made things... You know, maybe they lose that game anyway. They only scored one run. But it being a 10-1 game was the cause of a lot of preventable mistakes. Throughout this show, we will... regrettably set you up for the rest of this series.
It's going to be a bullpen day led by Spencer miles in some form. We don't know who's starting yet, but Spencer miles will be a big part of it. He'll take on Trevor McDonald. That one's at nine 45 tonight. So later in the show, we will talk to Maria Guardado of giants.com. We'll also talk to Josh Rodriguez, formerly of the rays and Orioles now at a baseball prospectus and doing some writing on his own sub stack. We talked to him last year, a lot of great insight from a player development and blending kind of analytics and the person standpoint. We'll talk to Doug Fox about some of the prospects.
What insights does Doug Fox provide about the Blue Jays' farm system?
in the system.
How does catcher framing impact game strategy?
But right now, we will talk to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet and at The Letters to talk about that game. Ben, how we doing, buddy? Blake, I'm doing well.
