They managed just one hit from the third inning on over Games 1 and 2 and had 17 after the second inning in Game 3.   George Springer had three of those - including a fourth-inning solo home run that moved him into a tie for fourth place overall on the all-time post-season home run list - and he joins us to talk about other things, such as Shane Bieber's performance, and the moment the right-hander sent chills through the dugout, the Jays' return to form and their five gold glove finalists that were announced Wednesday.   Also, as always throughout the playoffs, we open up the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca.
