When the Toronto Blue Jays went on their incredible World Series run last season, there was plenty of hope that it was the start of what could be a dominant run by a stacked team. Fast forward to 2026, and Toronto finds itself in a bit of a sticky situation. Although, based on last year's success, all hope might not be lost just yet. On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jordan Shusterman is joined by special guests Ben Nicholson-Smith and Shi Davidi to break down what has gone wrong this year for the reigning American League champions and whether injuries are the main reason for their sluggish first two months. Even though the Blue Jays might be nine games back in the AL East, they currently hold a Wild Card spot, and with players returning from the IL, it still could be a very exciting summer in Canada. Also on this episode, Jordan and Ben talk about the remarkable turnaround season the Chicago White Sox are having, which sees them sitting just one game back in the AL Central while also occupying a Wild Card spot. Instead of being sellers at the deadline, they could find themselves as buyers. However, with the injury to rookie sensation Munetaka Murakami, will the White Sox be able to tread water until he returns? The guys then discuss the Seattle Mariners' use of piggyback pitching, the New York Yankees continuing to impress and their thoughts on the latest power rankings. 2:37 - The Opener: White Sox roll on 19:54 - Nationals also offering a turnaround 35:01 - Issues plaguing the Blue Jays 51:30 - State of Toronto pitching and hitting 1:09:27 - Around the League: Mariners pitching strategy 1:21:38 - Power rankings thoughts Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

On the latest episode of Past Our Prime, we dive into one of the most memorable moments in baseball history — the May 31, 1976 cover of Sports Illustrated that captured a dramatic home plate confrontation between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. The cover photograph, shot by Neil Leifer, showed Red Sox catcher Carlton Fisk (#27) making a tag out on Yankees outfielder Lou Piniella (#14), with home plate umpire Terry Cooney visible in the frame. Piniella was ruled out at home, but the collision sparked a bench-clearing brawl, and the cover's headline captured the rivalry perfectly: "Head-On Collision in the East — Speeding Yanks Run Into the Sputtering Red Sox." The brawl turned ugly when Yankees third baseman Graig Nettles and Boston pitcher Bill Lee fought so fiercely that Lee suffered a separation of his left shoulder, significantly affecting the rest of his pitching career. It remains one of the most iconic covers in the magazine's history, perfectly encapsulating the fierce and often physical rivalry between the two American League East rivals. Steve "Psycho" Lyons carved out a nine-year MLB career with the Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox — where he was a teammate of Carlton Fisk — the Atlanta Braves, and Montreal Expos. He earned his nickname through antics like playing tic-tac-toe in the infield dirt and famously pulling his pants down after sliding into first base — a blooper reel staple for years. After retiring, Lyons became a three-time Emmy Award-winning broadcaster for Fox Sports, where he worked alongside Lou Piniella, before later joining NESN as a Red Sox studio analyst — proving, as he once said, that he talked about the game better than he played it. Lyons gives us incredible insight into Fisk, the Hall of Fame catcher, and reveals that for some reason, the serious Fisk would let the younger Lyons give him the business. He recounts how Fisk told Deion Sanders to run out a popup — leading to yet another bench-clearing incident — and how Fisk, as captain of the White Sox, was the hardest worker in the clubhouse. Lyons also takes us inside that iconic cover shot of Fisk and Piniella colliding at the plate and the brawl that followed, and reflects on how the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry back then was a whole different animal compared to today. And he tells us how he wishes he'd had the opportunity to play for Piniella, who brought that same fire to the game that Lyons himself always did — and yes, he sets the record straight on how he really got the nickname "Psycho," and no, it had nothing to do with dropping his pants in the middle of a game.

Is it possible that their model actually turns sour? 2.My Response: “I think that's been their strategy. Play for today and worry about tomorrow some other day. Remember, they also have a bunch of deferred money kicking in with Ohtani, etc. one thought is as they deal with the bad contracts, they promote all their young kids as cheap alternatives as the Mookies of the world become backup players. So cheap everyday players and expensive backups. Besides Betts and Smith, freeman, Tucker, Teoscar all are done in three more years. The strategy might work. I will say that Smith's contract looks the worse but he's also the most reasonable. They might have to buy him out. Mookie should be ok for next 2 years and then, his will really look ugly”3.Tatsuya Imai was involved in a no-hitter this week.

Griffin Warner talk betting for Friday. Griffin Warner is back on the What I Bet podcast with one of the most loaded Friday cards of the season, covering a Champions League final preview, a potential series-ending Game 5 in the NHL Eastern Conference Finals, and a full fourteen-game Major League Baseball slate from first pitch to the night's marquee showdown in Los Angeles. Warner opens with a quick look at Arsenal and PSG preparing to meet in Hungary on Saturday, noting that both clubs play a possession-dominant style that would make the final an exercise in control and patience. The hockey segment takes center stage early as Warner dissects the situation facing the Montreal Canadiens, who arrived in Carolina as a plus 199 money line underdog trying to avoid elimination after a dominant Game 1 gave way to three straight losses. He walks through the series odds, the compressed total of 5.5 at nearly even juice, and the possession dynamics that have kept Montreal trapped in their own zone, comparing Carolina's shot-volume approach to the ball-control philosophy of the two Champions League finalists. His clearest hockey lean is the under, supported by a secondary interest in Montreal's puck line at plus 1.5. The baseball analysis begins with Atlanta and Grant Holmes visiting Cincinnati and Chris Paddock, where Warner leans over, before working through Lucas Giolito's road start for San Diego against Washington and the potential value in the Nationals as a home underdog given their surprising offensive output. Pittsburgh and the long-awaited return of Jared Jones from internal brace surgery draws a careful look against Taj Bradley and Minnesota, with Warner favoring the under given Jones's extended absence and bullpen volatility on both sides. The Miami Marlins and Max Meyer visiting Freddy Peralta and the Mets produce an under lean consistent with a matchup Warner faded successfully the previous week. He moves through Walbert Ureña and Los Angeles at Tampa, Boston's minor league call-up visiting Cleveland and Slade Cecconi, Shōta Imanaga and the Cubs visiting St. Louis, Troy Melton and a struggling Detroit team road-favored against the White Sox and Erick Fedde, Stephen Kolek on a post-complete-game fade against MacKenzie Gore in Texas, Coleman Crow on the road for Milwaukee in Houston against Kai-Wei Teng, Logan Webb and the Giants visiting Colorado where Warner leans over and toward the Rockies, Carlos Rodón and the Yankees at the Sacramento Athletics and Luis Severino, Zac Gallen and Arizona at Seattle in a stay-away situation, and finally Zach Wheeler and the Phillies arriving in Los Angeles as plus 103 road underdogs against Justin Wrobleski, where Warner leans to Philadelphia as a coin-flip spot with positive expected value. The What I Bet Best Bet lands on the Cleveland Guardians and Slade Cecconi at minus 115, a number that climbed from minus 113 during the recording session as confirmation of the direction.

Tyler Davis joins the podcast to reflect on the winding path that finally led him to the major leagues at 27 years old. Davis revisits his days as a two-way standout at Sam Houston State, where he posted a 1.112 OPS in his senior season, and shares the frustration of going undrafted despite putting up huge offensive numbers. He also looks back on life in independent baseball with the Oakland Ballers and the moment everything changed when the White Sox signed him and gave him another opportunity to keep chasing the dream. Davis also shares stories from his rise through the White Sox system, including winning a championship in Birmingham alongside teammates like Rikuu Nishida and the emotions of learning he was heading to the big leagues. He relives striking out the first batter he faced in MLB, talks about navigating pressure situations with runners on base, and explains what he's learned from tough outings this season. Plus, Davis weighs in on whether he misses hitting, how he thinks he'd fare against MLB pitching as a position player, the teammates who helped him settle in, and what he hopes people remember most about his career years down the road.
