For a few fleeting hours on Nov. 1, 2025, Toronto felt like it might be 1993 all over again. And though the Blue Jays didn't win the 2025 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, some people ask if that winner-take-all Game 7 might have been the greatest baseball game ever played. That's probably a hard idea to stomach if you're a Blue Jays fan, but the advanced statistics might support it. MLB analysts have discussed it, online community groups have debated it, and according to the numbers, Championship Win Probability Added (cWPA) changed win probability more times than in any other game in history. The only thing that game was missing was a walk-off win. Had that happened you can all but guarantee more Canadians would have supported the idea of it being the greatest baseball game in history since it would have meant their team came out on top. Toronto Star baseball columnists Mike Wilner and Gregor Chisholm break down some of the plays and analytics within what is undoubtedly in the conversation as one of the greatest baseball games — and World Series — ever played.

Guest: Mike Wilner, baseball columnist & host of Deep Left Field baseball podcast The Blue Jays are currently battling the Seattle Mariners in the American League Championship Series (or ALCS for short), the one that precedes the World Series. Getting this far in the season has Toronto whipped into a lather at the possibility that their team may be within grasp of the big prize. A prize that likely feels a little further away after last night's game: the Jays lost, for the second time in this particular series, which is a best of seven. Ten years ago, the Jays were also two games down in a playoff series against the Texas Rangers, beat on their home turf both times. But they crawled back to win that series with the Jose Bautista bat flip as the pinnacle of that triumphant return. Today marks the 10 year anniversary of that bat flip and Mike Wilner, baseball columnist at the Star and host the Star's Deep Left Field baseball podcast, talks about the oral history both of that moment and one the Blue Jays currently find themselves in. Plus: Wilner tells you all you need to know about how to predict who's gonna win when it comes to baseball Bonus: Check out this video we made to commemorate the moment, Two Bat Flips, 10 Years Apart Produced by Julia De Laurentiis Johnston & Sean Pattendon Sources: MLB

The Pirates begin a huge series tonight at PNC Park. Should Oneil Cruz be in the lineup? The agreement is yes. You can't remove one of your best offensive players in this big of a 3-game set. The Pirates need to score runs and taking a player with Cruz's offensive potential out of the lineup doesn't make sense. Do the fans want to see Oneil Cruz in the lineup tonight? Blue Jays insider Mike Wilner from the Toronto Star joined the show. Mike gave us the rundown on one of the newest pirates, Isiah Kiner-Falefa. He thinks IFK will be very re-energized going somewhere that is in the midst of a playoff race. Mike said he's been really hitting the ball well this season and got into what the transformation was like. He talked about IFK's knee injury and where he fits best in the lineup. He thinks the best spot for him in the lineup is either the top 2 spots or somewhere between 6-8. Mike thinks IFK is at his best at third base.
