A Big Bat Returns & Scherzer's Final Regular Season Start

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker begin the show touching on the controversial calls from the Blue Jays' series-opening loss to the Boston Red Sox, Alek Manoah being DFA'd, Anthony Santander batting fifth in the order in his return to the lineup and Vladdy's struggles in the final games of the year. Then, VSiN By The Books co-host and former MLB pitcher Jensen Lewis (30:17) stops by to chat about the Cleveland Guardians on the verge of a historical comeback in the AL Central standings over dwindling Detroit Tigers, the adjustment Bo Naylor made in his swing, how important Max Scherzer's final regular season start is, the path for the Blue Jays to clinch the division, and his clubhouse experience with Myles Straw.
