Ben Ennis and Daniele Franceschi are back, but unfortunately, they are talking about a Blue Jays' loss that halted their win streak at ten games in a row and stopped them from tying the franchise record for consecutive victories. Given the run, can fans still be frustrated with the loss or was it just due? The hosts dive into it and focus, like many fans did, on the performance (and maybe season as a whole) of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. They expand that to a conversation of supporters' love for Vladdy and how it tends to waver at times. The duo also try to get into the mind of manager John Schneider with some of the decisions that were made yesterday specifically with the lineup and the bullpen. On the back end of this first hour, the morning pair get into LeBron James' latest social media troll and if the Maple Leafs should be extending Anthony Stolarz (30:05).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 rule of thumb has been proven true, at least so far, and given the Front Office and John Schneider a chance to learn some tough lessons. Link to my YouTube Channel.
