This week on Exit Philosophy, Griff and Mal break down the Toronto Blue Jays' final nine games of the season and the decisions facing manager John Schneider as the Jays navigate a thin three-man rotation and a bullpen that needs to be ready every day. With the Blue Jays playoff push entering crunch time, can Schneider think outside the box with his pitching staff? What does the bullpen look like down the stretch, and should Joe Mantiply and Michael Lorenzen continue to be used in high-leverage situations? Plus, Shane Bieber has an interesting conversation with Griff about his future, including the possibility of betting on himself with a short-term contract in hopes of maximizing a bigger free-agent deal down the road—and whether the Toronto Blue Jays could be a fit in 2027. The guys also look ahead to the Blue Jays offseason, including what Toronto needs to do to improve its offence, potential roster moves, and whether this could be the organization's best rookie class since Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette debuted in 2019.

We recap Nebraska Volleyball defeating the struggling Creighton Bluejays, which involved a Jon Rothstein appearance to celebrate the men's basketball program.

From Vitale to Bilas to the Jays ... the evolution of one of the best ever in the booth.

Jon stops by to preview tonight's mega-matchup between Creighton and Nebraska. the keys to the match for the Jays, an examination of Creighton's MBB schedule,

Bad series against the Tigers. 9 games for the rest of our lives.

The Blue Jays' playoff push is suddenly in serious trouble. Toronto was blown out 10-1 by the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night, dropping to 75-77 and falling two games behind Cleveland for the final AL Wild Card spot with only 10 games remaining in the regular season. The Jays have now lost three straight and six of their last nine.On game 153 preview of Flight Deck, Dan Riccio breaks down a disastrous night for Toronto's pitching staff. Braydon Fisher and MLB debutant Brendan Cellucci combined for three scoreless innings to begin the game, but things quickly unraveled once Michael Lorenzen entered. Lorenzen surrendered five runs over two innings as Detroit completely took control of the game.Spencer Torkelson did most of the damage, crushing a three-run home run in the fourth inning while also doubling, walking and stealing a base. Hao-Yu Lee added a solo homer as Detroit piled up 10 runs and extended its winning streak to six games. The Tigers have already clinched the series and now have a chance to complete the sweep.The offence wasn't much better. Toronto managed only six hits and didn't score until the eighth inning, when singles from Bret Bateman, George Springer and Alejandro Kirk finally pushed a run across. Nathan Lukes did extend his hitting streak to 12 games, but the Blue Jays once again failed to generate enough offence when they desperately needed it.Dan will also look at a Wild Card race that is beginning to get away from Toronto. Cleveland rallied for a 7-6 win over the White Sox on Tuesday, pushing the Guardians to 77-75 and increasing their advantage over the Blue Jays to two games. Toronto is also now a half-game behind Texas, making every remaining game increasingly important.Looking ahead, Max Scherzer gets the ball as Toronto desperately tries to avoid the sweep. Scherzer enters at 2-8 with a 6.38 ERA and is coming off a rough outing against Baltimore in which he surrendered six runs and seven hits over five innings. The Blue Jays are just 5-10 in games Scherzer has started this season.Detroit counters with Keider Montero, who enters at 9-8 with a 3.55 ERA. Montero has struggled recently, allowing eight runs across eight innings in September and failing to pitch beyond the fourth inning in each of his last two starts. That gives a struggling Toronto offence an opportunity to finally break through early.With only 10 games remaining and the Blue Jays now two games outside of a playoff spot, the margin for error has almost completely disappeared. Can Scherzer deliver when Toronto needs him most, can the offence finally wake up, and can the Jays avoid being swept at home by Detroit?We finish with Dan's picks presented by bet365.LIVE every game day one hour before first pitch right here on the Blue Jays Nation YouTube channel and on Instagram @BlueJaysNation.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Flight Deck.Thanks to our partners:bet365: http://www.bet365.caTable Fare + Social: https://www.tablefoodhall.com/#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB #BlueJaysNation #FlightDeck Hosted on Acast.

On this episode, Dave Wheeler and Tyler Carr dig into the fallout from Sweeney's provocative new Novig ad campaign and debate whether the sports betting world has officially jumped the shark. Plus, the guys tackle what custom Manitoba license plates they should actually get, recap the Emmy Awards highlights (including Taylor Swift's Law & Order cameo), and question why terrifying real-life "Cat in the Hat" knockoffs are roaming the streets. Over in sports: Kawhi Leonard is back in Toronto, the Jays drop a heartbreaker to Detroit, and Jets prospect Viggo Bjork turns heads ahead of preseason. Big laughs, spicy headlines, and daily morning radio unfiltered.

The Blue Jays let a massive opportunity slip away Monday night, falling 6-5 to the Detroit Tigers in a game Toronto appeared to have under control multiple times. The loss drops the Jays to 75-76, but Cleveland also lost, keeping Toronto just one game back of the final AL Wild Card spot with only 11 games remaining.On game 152 preview of Flight Deck, Dan Riccio breaks down one of Toronto's most painful losses of the season. José Soriano was nearly untouchable early, carrying a perfect game into the sixth inning and a no-hitter into the seventh before Detroit finally broke through. Soriano ultimately allowed four runs over 6.1 innings, but his performance gave the Blue Jays every opportunity to take control of the game.Toronto jumped out to an early 2-0 lead before watching Detroit score four times in the seventh. But Kazuma Okamoto answered immediately, crushing a three-run home run to put the Blue Jays back in front 5-4. It was Okamoto's 33rd homer of the season, continuing an incredible rookie campaign at exactly the time Toronto needs him most.Unfortunately, the bullpen couldn't make the lead stand up. Detroit tied the game in the eighth before a disastrous sequence in the ninth ultimately decided it. After Zach McKinstry stole second, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made the throw across the diamond on a ground ball, but Louis Varland couldn't handle it at first, allowing McKinstry to score the eventual winning run.Dan will also look at just how costly these missed opportunities are becoming. Toronto remains only one game behind Cleveland, but the Blue Jays are now below .500 again and running out of time to make their move. Every mistake is magnified with fewer than two weeks remaining in the regular season.Looking ahead, Toronto turns to Braydon Fisher in another bullpen game. Fisher enters at 3-4 with a 3.22 ERA and 72 strikeouts and is expected to once again work as an opener. He has a 1.93 ERA across six appearances in September and hasn't pitched more than two innings in an outing all summer.Detroit counters with Drew Anderson, who enters at 4-6 with a 3.80 ERA and 105 strikeouts. Anderson has pitched to a 2.97 ERA over his last 33.1 innings and has already handled Toronto once this season, throwing four scoreless innings of relief while allowing just one hit back in May.The Tigers have now won five straight games and will be looking to clinch the series tonight. For Toronto, the equation is becoming pretty simple: start turning these close games into wins or risk watching the Wild Card opportunity disappear.Can the Blue Jays put Monday's heartbreaking loss behind them, can the bullpen hold up through nine innings, and can Toronto finally gain some ground in the Wild Card race?We finish with Dan's picks presented by bet365.LIVE every game day one hour before first pitch right here on the Blue Jays Nation YouTube channel and on Instagram @BlueJaysNation.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Flight Deck.Thanks to our partners:bet365: http://www.bet365.caTable Fare + Social: https://www.tablefoodhall.com/#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB #BlueJaysNation #FlightDeck Hosted on Acast.

This week's entry into the annals of Munchstory—SVU, S21E5, “At Midnight In Manhattan”—sent Adam and Josh caroming between three different stories in a rare exercise in single-weekend, multi-case, mom-card trumping storytelling, heavily featuring Carisi and Kat learning the ropes on their respective new jobs. Along the way, they decry the misidentification of doors, lament casting miscues, weigh the virtues of manners in new environs, and work their way through the indignity of seeing a slew of rich men's knees. So come for the shoe-shaming, and stay for the nap chat whilst getting your Munch on.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Summer S, Matt, Elyse R, Julia K, Los C, Katrina S, Bryan C, and Shannon H - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

Say it ain't so, Seven!In yet another episode of SVU that casts aspersions on the non-NYC parts of the country, Warren Leight decides to sully the reputation of Matt Saracen by making him a stepfather who has been raping his stepdaughter, who wants to flush out their rape-baby. Given that she's from Ohio which had just passed a fetal heartbeat abortion bill, this means we've got ourselves a polemic episode where backwards Buckeye State laws butt heads with the Big Apple, something that SVU rarely does well.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Summer S, Matt, Elyse R, Julia K, Los C, Katrina S, Bryan C, and Shannon H - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

The Blue Jays have started September the way they ended August, taking a crucial series in Cleveland—including the biggest game of the year (so far) on Thursday afternoon—to pull within a half game of the Guardians in the AL Wild Card race, while also securing the tiebreaker against them. Vlad had a huge game, Cease is incredible, Brett Bateman has been an enormously unexpected surprise, and the bullpen is holding it all together. Even the rotation, which remains messy, got good news this week in the fact that Trey Yesavage is progressing from knee surgery and may be able to return before the playoffs. He's pitching this year.And this week we talked all about it!
