The Blue Jays end their road trip with a loss to the lowly Athletics, which brings some disappointment with it ahead of a crucial stretch at home. Host Blake Murphy recaps his takeaways from the series finale in Oakland, before opening up the JTP mailbag to read some audience texts and tweets! Next up, Editor-in-Chief at Baseball America, J.J. Cooper checks in to discuss how Major League Baseball is tweaking some of the new rules implemented in the minors this season, before delving into Jays prospect Ricky Tiedemann's recent outings (30:00). Sportsnet's own Ben Nicholson-Smith kicks off the second hour with a deep dive into the Jays' road trip, the importance of this upcoming homestand, and the latest on Toronto's injured and unavailable players including Alek Manoah (52:15). To close out today's show, Blake welcomes Ben Verlander of FOX Sports and the Flippin' Bats podcast to go around the horn on MLB's landscape and postseason picture, including the A.L. Wild Card race (01:20:56). 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.

The Atlanta Braves are coming down the stretch and picking up steam as the month of September approaches. Grant McAuley breaks down the top stories for the Braves as they play through their last trip out west and will wrap up their 10-game road trip with four against the Los Angeles Dodgers, a possible postseason preview for two National League powerhouse teams. It appears the Atlanta rotation is starting to build some momentum at an opportune time. The Braves and Dodgers share many similarities, including each club boasting a pair of MVP candidates as the season winds to a close. While Ronald Acuña Jr. is in the midst of a historic campaign, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, as well as Atlanta teammate Matt Olson, are also making compelling cases for the MVP Award. We'll break down the MVP race. Atlanta is also hoping to welcome a pair of key pitchers back for the final push. Kyle Wright began a rehab assignment with an encouraging outing and hopes to return in September. Meanwhile, veteran reliever Jesse Chavez is finally nearing a rehab assignment of his own after being struck in the knee by a line drive in June and suffering an injury that ended up being a bit more severe that first thought. You'll hear from both of those men as they prepare for returns. We'll also talk Braves lineup dominance and some of the biggest stories in MLB with Ben Verlander of Fox Sports, host of the Flippin' Bats podcast. He'll weigh in on Atlanta's crazy offensive capabilities, Shohei Ohtani's injury, and how his brother Justin ended up back in Houston just months after signing a huge free-agent contract with the New York Mets. All of that and a trip around the big leagues on this episode of the show! Make sure to connect with From The Diamond on social media. Hear the show live every Sunday on 92-9 The Game in Atlanta.
