In hour one, guest hosts Josh Eliott-Wolfe and Randip Janda look back at a busy weekend in sports (3:00), plus they talks a dominant Blue Jays win over the Rockies with Fan 590's Jeff Blair (25:00).

JD starts the week with thoughts on the Blue Jays' dominant victory over the Rockies after losing the previous series to the Royals, and the Yankees' struggles as they attempt to make up ground on Toronto, before getting into the recent heroics of Bo Bichette (00:00). Jim Bowden, MLB insider and former GM, joins the show to break down the Blue Jays' moves at the trade deadline, notably the Shane Bieber acquisition from the Guardians, how the Jays should approach the rotation with the emergence of Eric Lauer, the additions to the bullpen, the question of whether or not Bichette will re-sign in Toronto, and the front office's strategy to continue improving the farm system (7:51). Later, JD touches on the Maple Leafs settling with Nick Robertson on a one-year contract ahead of his arbitration hearing, and where the Leafs' bottom-six is headed next season (37:11).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.
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back on the Blue Jays' offensive barrage to open their series against the Colorado Rockies -- putting up a season-high 15 runs in the road win. They discuss Daulton Varsho's big fly, Bo Bichette's two-homer night, Eric Lauer overcoming his Coors Field demons and whether he's earned consideration for a start in the postseason. Blue Jays Central analyst Caleb Joseph stops by (24:02) to tee up the second game of the series in Colorado and discuss how José Berríos gets back on track with his fastball, Lauer's chances at getting a start in the postseason, Bo's hot streak and why the Jays must work something out on an extension.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are joined by WEEI Boston Red Sox writer and co-host of 'Baseball Isn't Boring' Rob Bradford (2:55) to chat about the team's recent hot streak since turning the page from the trade deadline, why Garrett Crochet should be front-running the Cy Young Award, Lucas Giolito's resurgence, and expectations for recently acquired Dustin May from the L.A. Dodgers. Then, Rockies TV analyst Ryan Spilborghs (27:15) stops by to discuss how different the Colorado baseball club is compared to the Blue Jays, Eric Lauer's turnaround and performance against the Rockies, and why he likes the Jays so much as the best team in the American League.
