Blue Jays Lose 8-6, Top 10 Fall Offs and TFC Talk | OTR Ft. Kaitlyn McGrath
The Toronto Blue Jays tried to pull off a miracle comeback, but Shane Bieber’s nightmare first inning proved too much to overcome in an 8–6 loss to Washington. Dan Riccio, Cabbie Richards, and Lindsay Dunn react to Bieber recording just two outs while allowing four runs and six walks, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leaving with right hamstring tightness, and another night that somehow went from disaster to almost unbelievable.

Then, Cabbie unveils his official Top 10 Fall-Offs, putting some of the biggest collapses in sports under the microscope.Plus, Toronto FC and the city’s other sports organizations face the ultimate red-flag test. Is “we like the group we have” ever a good sign? What about “our best addition is getting healthy” or “the analytics support this decision”?

Blue Jays Take Series Opener vs. Washington + TFC Talk | OTR Ft. Bobby Blanco
TThe Toronto Blue Jays finally gave fans something to celebrate—but apparently nobody was there to see it. Dan Riccio, Cabbie Richards, and Lindsay Dunn break down Toronto’s series-opening win over Washington, Max Scherzer’s latest outing, another tense Jeff Hoffman appearance, and the bizarre comments from the Nationals broadcast about Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Louis Varland. The crew also reacts to Orelvis Martinez stealing the first base of his career, good news surrounding Addison Barger, and another brutal injury update for Yimi García.Then, Washington beat writer Bobby Blanco joins the show to explain what is happening with the Nationals, what Toronto can expect for the rest of the series, and which players could become names to watch as the trade deadline closes in.Plus, the crew turns its attention to Toronto FC—and it is not pretty. After just 15 wins since Jason Hernandez became general manager, is this really the rebuild Keith Pelley promised, or has TFC become completely irrelevant in its own city? Add in Kevin Durant’s latest quote, Michael Kim’s ridiculous round of 59, and another Jimothy update, and this episode has a little bit of everything.

With Toronto still needing nearly perfect baseball just to survive, is this a real spark—or only a temporary break from the misery as Toronto heads to Boston this weekend? Then, Kevin Gausman speaks about the trade rumours for the first time, the impact on his family, handling the uncertainty and emotions surrounding the club and city.
