On today’s episode of Off the Roster, Dan Riccio and Lindsay Dunn break down a massive weekend for the Toronto Blue Jays after they bounced back from a Friday night loss to win their series against the Baltimore Orioles and keep their postseason hopes alive in the American League Wild Card race.
Dan and Lindsay are joined by Brandon Wile to break down everything happening with the Blue Jays and around Major League Baseball, starting with the biggest story of Toronto’s weekend: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. finally breaking through at Rogers Centre and hitting his first home run at home this season. They discuss what the long-awaited homer could mean for Vladdy down the stretch, whether it can spark the Blue Jays superstar at the plate and just how important Guerrero will be if Toronto is going to complete its push toward the MLB Playoffs.
They also dive into an impressive weekend from Brett Bateman, who blasted the first Major League home run of his career before following it up with another homer the next night. Plus, Brandon joins the discussion on Dylan Cease’s performance against Baltimore, including his ability to escape trouble after a difficult opening inning, the strength of the Blue Jays pitching staff throughout the weekend and what Toronto needs from its rotation as every game becomes more important.
With the regular season winding down, the crew takes another look at the AL Wild Card race, Toronto’s path to the postseason, the upcoming Blue Jays schedule and the biggest stories developing around the rest of MLB as the playoff picture takes shape.
Later, Dan and Lindsay shift to the NFL for a full look around Week 1, including the biggest results and storylines from across the league, NFL Survivor Pool picks, predictions and early-season takeaways.
Finally, they hit the latest from the Toronto Maple Leafs prospect games, breaking down what they saw from the Leafs’ young players over the weekend and discussing Gavin McKenna not playing in the tournament.
