After having their birdhouse rocked for five straight games, the Blue Jays rebounded against a lesser avian, the Orioles, ending their drought. Drew and Kaitlyn pick through Toronto's much-needed win and zero in on why Semien thought the club's 'W' was "big". Although the team cleansed themselves of their losing curse, are they in a position to go all-in? Drew and Kaitlyn debate Toronto's trajectory, needs, trade targets, et al. as July nears.
