Jays Talk Plus: Post-Season Confidence Levels + Manoah's Connection with Toronto

Blue Jays Talk

Drew Fairservice of the "Spin Rate" podcast jumps on with Blake Murphy to share why he's bullish on the Blue Jays heading into the post-season and looks into the path to success in a Wild Card series against the Mariners, before Blake asks if Drew remembers which position players made a pitching appearance this year (01:09). Oren Weisfeld, a freelance writer with a recent piece in the Toronto Star, stops by to discuss what sparked his interest for his latest feature on Alek Manoah, the connection between the big righty and the city, why he's one of the most interesting athletes in Canada, and the influence he has on the sport of baseball towards a younger audience (28:46). Afterward, MLB.com's Julia Kreuz chats about the moment the Jays celebrated clinching the playoffs, how the final series against Baltimore will dictate Toronto's post-season roster, which matchup she prefers between Seattle and Tampa, and the expectations for interim manager John Schneider in his first Wild Card series (50:30)
