A Chance to Close Out Against Yamamoto

from Blair & Barker · host Sportsnet

It's game day! Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look ahead to Game 6, a potential World Series-clinching stage for the Jays against the Dodgers. They go through the lineup, including George Springer's return to the lead-off spot and Bo Bichette's corresponding move back to second base. Then, two-time World Series champ and MLB Network's Al Leiter joins the show (11:45) to discuss what mentality the Jays must have against a red-hot Yoshinobu Yamamoto, what Kevin Gausman can take away from Trey Yesavage's outing, and his memories from playing in the World Series. Later, Sportsnet play-by-play announcer Dan Shulman stops by (32:00) to share his confidence levels going into Game 6 against Yamamoto, the late-innings plan for Bichette, Addison Barger's growth, Chris Bassitt embracing the bullpen role, and his favourite moments from the booth through the Jays' playoff run.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
