JD and Ben Ennis, co-host of The FAN Morning Show, break down a disappointing Opening Day for the Toronto Blue Jays (0:00). They discuss their experience attending the game, the importance of avoiding a slow start, how Alan Roden factors into the Blue Jays' path to success, and what George Springer can contribute in year four with Toronto. Then, they debate how much Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s performance in 2025 will influence the fanbase's eagerness to re-sign the star slugger. Afterwards, Blue Jays broadcaster Buck Martinez joins JD (50:15) to share his perspective on fan pressure, Andrés Giménez and Roden flashing some offence in their Blue Jays debuts, and why he's confident in Alejandro Kirk taking on a heavier load behind the plate. Later, JD turns his attention to the Toronto Maple Leafs and Joseph Woll's worrisome start in San Jose, before closing out the show with What We Missed (1:13:30).
