Jays Talk Plus: Home Field Advantage or Lining Up The Starting Rotation‪?‬ Blue Jays Talk

    • Baseball

Blake Murphy returns and is joined by Sportsnet's Chris Black and Joe Siddall to break down how Ross Stripling has cemented himself into a consistent role within the starting rotation, his success getting into early favourable counts, the Jays' adjustment in choosing when to shift, and how a hitter approaches their at-bats when the defence shifts (02:18). Doug Fox of Future Blue Jays takes a tour around the minor leagues in the Jays' system including the promotion for both Yosver Zulueta and Addison Barger, if there's been progress in Nate Pearson's rehab, and why he named Ricky Tiedemann as the Jays system Pitcher of the Year (31:49). Then, FanGraphs' Jay Jaffe weighs in on when Aaron Judge could break Roger Maris' AL home run record, why Kevin Gausman isn't part of the Cy Young conversation, and debates if he would rather prioritize fighting for home field advantage or lining up a proper starting rotation for the playoffs (51:21). Finally, Alex Coffey of the Philadelphia Inquirer chats about the Phillies' playoff race, their strong offence in the month of September, and who will make their final roster (01:14:30).
