Jays. Game 7. The Promise of Vladdy w/ Ben Nicholson-Smith

JD gives his thoughts on the Blue Jays' split against the Mariners over the weekend, the belief in the team after pushing the series to seven games, other Toronto comparables to this postseason run by the Jays, and the historical impact Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is having on the city and country with his incredible play in October (00:00). Sportsnet.ca's Ben Nicholson-Smith joins the show to add-on to the Blue Jays conversation (14:55), including the performance from Vlad Jr., the contributions from the unsung heroes after the injury to George Springer, how much a World Series appearance would mean to the fans and the organization, John Schneider's bullpen decision-making in Game's 5 & 6 and what the expectations should be for the bullpen for Game 7, before looking at Bo Bichette's potential to join the club should they make the World Series. After the break, JD checks in on Anthony Stolarz after his comments following the Maple Leafs' OT loss to the Kraken on Saturday night (48:02).
