Later, Blue Jays special assistant and 12-year MLB veteran Kevin Kiermaier (29:02) stops by to discuss the toll of an extra-innings postseason loss, how the Jays can bounce back in Game 4, and how they can attack Ohtani on the mound.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 break down the Blue Jays' 6-5 walk-off loss vs. the Dodgers in a marathon 18-inning Game 3 of the World Series.

They get into the efforts from the bullpen, including Eric Lauer and Jeff Hoffman, and discuss the effects this might have on both the Blue Jays and Dodgers in Game 4 and 5. Plus, they chat about Shohei Ohtani, the decision not to intentionally walk him in the seventh inning, and what they do vs. Ohtani on both sides of the ball in Game 4. 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.
