About this episode

The episode discusses the Blue Jays' recent performance and challenges, including pitching options and player injuries.

Back-to-back series losses have intensified the pressure on the Blue Jays to either start stacking up wins or counting down days until the off-season. Ben and Arden start by sizing up the difficult task ahead for the club (00:31) before considering the club’s pitching options in light of Shane Bieber’s injury (21:10) and the ongoing mystery that is Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s 2026 (40:57).
