Jays Journal Podcast - September 16. "Remains of the Day."

After a string of 5 consecutive one-run games and an inspirational victory over the Minnesota Twins, 4-3 on the road, the Toronto Blue Jays continue to play the dubious role of post-season spoilers across the American League with great success; further highlighting the importance of what these games could mean to young and exciting prospects ready to make the jump in 2018.

Host Ari Shapiro is tickled pink and thrilled to bring you a gloriously high-octane round table filled to the brim with baseball wisdom, dynamic insight, excessive hyperbole and spotaneous wit; Chris Henderson (@Baseball4Brains) of Jays Journal, Geoff Falbo (@gfalbo13) of Deep Leagues, and Tao of Stieb (@TaoofStieb) of Sportsnet. Together, they fearlessly tackle the remains of the day:

If success in September will sway fan perception of this team (3:01), how fans should feel about never experiencing a .500 record during an entire season (6:24), can Teoscar Hernandez save this outfield from continued mediocrity (11:45), how Anthony Alford could add a level of multi-dimensionality to the club (17:47), how a lack of depth changed the complexion of an entire season (28:15), the fickle nature of winning it all (31:39), how missing out on Encarnacion and Fowler captivates the imagination (37:40), and if the leadership triumvirate of Donaldson, Martin and Tulowitzki still matters (42:30).
