Sho Alli and Daniele Franceschi break down the Blue Jays' 8-4 loss vs. the Mariners in the second of three games at the Rogers Centre. They take your calls and texts, and get to the lack of late offence - how much blame should the bats get with runners in scoring position in the 9th, 10th, and 11th innings? They also discuss the terrific outings from all of Brendon Little, Nick Sandlin, Chad Green, and Yariel Rodríguez - but why didn't we see more from Yimi García or even a few more pitches from Y-Rod? Plus, they get into the decision to pitch to Cal Raleigh earlier in the game, and his dust-up with José Berríos. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

They take your calls and texts, and get right to the performance of Easton Lucas who didn't make it out of the second inning and gave up six earned runs - is the Lucas experiment over? Do the Jays roll with four starters going forward with a few days off on the schedule? Plus, they get into the sterling MLB debut of Paxton Schultz, who allowed no runs or walks in 4.1 IP alongside eight strikeouts - is there something there to work with for a bullpen that has pitched a lot? Afterwards, they discuss the offence going quiet again - should John Schneider shake up the lineup? The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

On the April 18, 2025 episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview MLB podcast, Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner provided in-depth analysis of the Friday baseball slate with betting insights. Munaf opened by highlighting his 5-1 betting record and credited their collaborative discussions for the success. The first matchup covered was Diamondbacks vs. Cubs (0:10–7:40). Corbin Burnes has struggled early, while Cubs starter Colin Rea provides potential value. Chicago leads MLB in runners in scoring position appearances and has scored 124 runs to Arizona's 104. The Cubs as home underdogs and a lean to the over were discussed, depending on Wrigley Field wind. In Royals vs. Tigers (7:41–11:34), Cole Ragans faces top prospect Jackson Jobe. Kansas City's offense has produced just 19 runs over its last 10 games and is 2-8 on the road. The Tigers' bullpen is strong, and both hosts leaned toward Detroit plus money and under 7.5. Guardians vs. Pirates (11:35–15:11) features Luis Ortiz against Carmen Mlodzinski. Mlodzinski has a 1.77 WHIP with command issues. The Guardians were favored due to bullpen depth. Pittsburgh is 6-4 at home and to the over. There was a slight lean to Cleveland and possibly over 8.5. In Marlins vs. Phillies (15:12–19:08), Sandy Alcantara is no longer dominant, while Zack Wheeler boasts an 11-4 record and 2.73 ERA against Miami. Philadelphia is 24-11 in Wheeler's home starts since 2023. The Phillies were a strong lean, especially on the run line. Yankees vs. Rays (19:49–25:11) featured Carlos Rodón, who has allowed 4+ earned runs and 3+ walks in three straight starts. Drew Rasmussen has not allowed a run in 21 career innings vs. the Yankees. Munaf's best bet was Rays first five innings at -110. In Reds vs. Orioles (25:12–28:31), Andrew Abbott faces Cade Povich. While Abbott had a solid outing against Pittsburgh, Baltimore's offense poses more danger. The Orioles were favored and offensive production expected. Mariners vs. Blue Jays (28:31–31:40) has Bryan Woo, who has struggled away from home, against Bowden Francis. Toronto is 7-3 at home and the over 7.5 was considered. Cardinals vs. Mets (31:42–35:05) pits Miles Mikolas against David Peterson. St. Louis is 1-6 on the road and lacks comeback potential. The Mets were the lean, especially on the run line. Griffin's best bet was Braves -130 vs. Twins (35:06–38:12). Chris Paddack has lost all three starts by 2+ runs and Bryce Elder is trying to earn a rotation spot. In Red Sox vs. White Sox (38:13–41:46), Martín Pérez is a steady innings-eater. Boston has a negative run differential and both hosts were reluctant to back them as heavy favorites. Dodgers vs. Rangers (41:46–45:55) features Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who has a 0.91 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 22 innings, against Jacob deGrom, who's allowed multiple home runs in consecutive starts. The Dodgers were favored early. In Astros vs. Padres (52:32–56:54), Kyle Hart rebounded after a poor debut, while Houston's Ryan Gusto is unproven. The Padres are 15-4, and with Houston's bullpen issues, San Diego at +123 was the consensus lean. Brewers vs. A's (56:55–1:01:02) has Freddy Peralta allowing six earned runs over 23.1 innings. Milwaukee is 43-27 at home in his starts since 2018. Nationals vs. Rockies (1:01:11–1:04:14) features cold Denver weather and a low total of nine. MacKenzie Gore's road struggles were noted, but Washington was the slight lean. Giants vs. Angels (1:04:14–1:07:43) featured Logan Webb's consistency against Tyler Anderson. San Francisco is 9-4 on the road with eight wins by 2+ runs. Munaf leaned Giants run line. The episode ended with a promo for Pregame's $1,000 MLB contest and 20 percent discount code HOMERUN20.

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases PAST THEIR PRIME and PRIME TIMEIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase past their prime. When you say someone is past their prime, it means they peaked at whatever they do well and now they aren't as good at it. We usually use this to talk about athletes, a professional athlete. Often when they are in their 30s, they start to not be as good at the sport as they used to be. And then we might say when they're 35 or 36, that they are past their prime. It's not a nice phrase, is it? I do not look forward to the day where I'm teaching a class and some parent says, Bob, that guy is past his prime, it's time for him to retire. I don't think I'm anywhere close yet, but that would not be a nice thing to hear. But often used to talk about professional athletes when they're in their 30s. It's common to read a news article or hear someone on TV say that they are past their prime. Again, not very flattering, not very kind.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianThe other phrase I wanted to teach you today is prime time. This is kind of an older phrase. This refers to TV shows that are on between 8 and 10 or 7 and 11. There's a bit of a... There's a... There's a couple different ideas as to what it means, but it means the time where people normally, I guess, used to watch TV. Now there's streaming and YouTube and all kinds of other things to do from 7 to 11. But prime time meant a TV show that was on between 7 and 11 at night. So for me it's usually game shows from 7 to 8. So there's Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. And then at 8 o'clock I don't often sit down to watch a TV show anymore. I might watch a Blue Jays game, but those are on at prime time sometimes as well. They start at 7 or 7:30 at night. Anyways, prime time, the best time to get a lot of viewers to watch something.So to review. When someone is past their prime, it means that they were good at something and now they're not as good at it because they're getting older, they've peaked and now they're kind of going downhill. And then prime time would be any TV show that's on between 8 and 10 or 7 and 11, whatever you choose.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from. Know that as for your example of the shirt with the hole in it, Bob, if it were one of your favorite shirts, you could possibly wear a sweater over it in a pinch. Assuming of course that the weather is right for a sweater and how many holes it has, how big they are and where. I know that was just an example and as always, a really good one from you. Thank you so much, Bob. You're awesome in so many ways. Have a great day.And my response, yeah, I've done that from time to time. In fact, I'm doing it right now. Yeah, I went and found what is my favorite shirt. It's too bad that shirts get. The shirt is past its prime there. I could use the example as well. It's too bad when things get old. This doesn't have holes in it, but it's actually. It's just starting to wear out a little bit where you can't see. So I can't wear it unless I wear a sweater or a top like this over top of it.So anyways, the lawn chairs are back out. You might have noticed that in a previous video. We put them back out a week or two ago. This has just become a beautiful spot to sit in the spring, summer and fall. For Jen and I. It's shady in the morning right now. It's about 9am so it's nice. We put them away for the winter and now they're back. We've also removed one row, one row of the little markers from the driveway. We have to remove these at some point.

We preview the NHL playoffs with a Green Jacket Draft. Will the winner of this 1st round matchup go all the way? :30- ABCs of the Mariners J is for Jorge, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but he's putting up some great numbers. K is for kinfolk- the Blue Jays have a bunch of kids of other players and while we know there's no chance for Vlad Jr to be a Mariner, could Bo Bichette head this way? L is for Love lost and apparently there isn't any when it comes to Scott Servais and his salty comments! :45- We close out the show and the week with Booze News!

Dukes and Bell get back to Braves talk as they continue to ask what is troubling the team, especially after their 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday as they struck out 19 times. As they discuss, Mike notes he believes the absence of hitting coach Kevin Seitzer and Ron Washington is a factor. As the discussion continued, they note the Braves offense is more of the issue as they currently sit 26th in RBI's and have struggled with runners in scoring position.

Guests: Blue Jays reliever Yimi Garcia, catcher Tyler Heineman, Atlanta 3B coach Matt Tuiasosopo We celebrate the 250th episode of the podcast with the first-ever 1-on-1 interview with Yimi Garcia in English. The big, scary set-up man with the 0.00 ERA turns out to be a gentle giant off the mound! We also check in with back-up catcher Tyler Heineman, who is off to a sizzling start to the season, both at the plate and behind it, and since Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has officially signed up to become a Blue Jay for life, we wanted to chat with someone who was a Blue Jay for about 20 minutes once upon a time –current Atlanta third-base coach Matt Tuiasosopo joins us.

The Blue Jays couldn't afford to dig themselves an early hole this season, and they've managed to avoid doing exactly that. Chris Bassitt, Jeff Hoffman, and Yimi Garcia pitching like the best starter, closer, and setup man in baseball will certainly help in that regard. But whether their success will prove durable—whether enough offence will come, whether the rotation will hold, and whether the bullpen can continue to live up to an impossibly high standard while being relied-upon heavily—remains to seen.PLUS: Putting an over/under on Max Scherzer's innings pitched, figuring out the roster once Nathan Lukes returns (a conversation we had before Davis Schneider was optioned down to Buffalo), check-ins on Barger, Wagner, Clement, and more!

Despite a few good signs from Austin Riley and Sean Murphy, the Braves offense reached a new low in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays. The offensive performance spoiled the return of Spencer Strider, and leaves fans wondering if this team can ever get it going.

Ben & Brent discuss a recent Blue Jays series win, highlighted by a franchise-record 19 strikeouts and Vlad Guerrero Jr.'s first home run of the season. They ponder whether Guerrero's homer will spark the top of the order and question Toronto's chances of claiming the A.L. East with strong pitching. They also cover the NHL, noting the Montreal Canadiens securing the last Eastern Conference playoff spot, and debate which Wild Card team poses the biggest upset threat in the first round (30:34).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

Dukes and Bell come back with some brief thoughts on their conversation with Brent Key and then get into their Daily Download and react to several sports headlines including the Braves loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday as they both agree it is frustrating to see the Braves being so inconsistent night to night and it is time for several players to start heating up. Then they share more thoughts on the frustration of the Hawks loss and believe the crying about the lack of calls needs to stop because they believe the officials allowed both teams to play.

Dukes and Bell come back and briefly talk about the Braves' loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday, striking out 19 times which they both agree is unacceptable for a team with the talent they have and Mike adding he believes they look lifeless. Then they pivot to some Falcons talk and give some opinions on several players who are considered dark horses for the Falcons to draft including Walter Nolan out of Ole Miss. As they discuss, Mike notes he believes there is a chance the team would go offensive tackle to help with protecting Michael Penix Jr. and Carl points to Grey Zabel out of North Dakota being a potential player the Falcons could bring in.

Dukes and Bell are joined by Grant McAuley to discuss the Braves outing on Wednesday in which they lost to the Blue Jays 3-1
