JTP: Vladdy's Struggles, Red Sox Series Preview + 'Brooke Knows Ball'
About this episode
Blake Murphy is joined by Sportsnet's MLB insider Ben Nicholson-Smith (29:43), to discuss the lack of home runs from this year's Jays squad, specifically Vladdy, potential lineup shifts to maximize the offense, what the AL playoffs will look like, and potential Tarik Skubal trades. Later, ‘Brooke Knows Ball,’ and Joel Laflamme (51:14) join to talk about analytics in baseball, content creation within the sport, watching winter ball in the Dominican Republic, and how to fix Vladdy. Things wrap up with MassLive’s Chris Cotillo (1:17:01) to preview the Jays series against the Red Sox, before revisiting some of the former Red Sox stars that are performing on other teams, and the struggles going on in Boston this season.
