JD is joined by Ben Ennis, co-host of The FAN Morning Show, to begin Tuesday's show. JD opens with thoughts on live events in the city on the heels of Oasis' concert at Rogers Stadium, before getting into the issues with PitchCom during the Blue Jays latest victory in their series opener against the Twins (00:00). They break down Shane Bieber's Blue Jays debut in Miami after missing nearly two seasons to Tommy John surgery, and project how Bieber can elevate the Jays chances in the American League, and they also praise Alejandro Kirk for his performance in 2025 after getting his contract extension in the off-season (15:35). Later, the guys look at the Blue Jays bullpen additions in Seranthony Domínguez and Louie Varland, and continue the conversation on what the pitching staff will look like in the playoffs (33:10). 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.
