The Blue Jays are within half a game of a playoff spot

Guests: Blue Jays pitchers Joe Mantiply, Paul Sewald, Jameson Taillon; infielder Sean Keys   This week in Deep Left Field, the Blue Jays have surged to within half a game of a playoff spot thanks to five wins in their last six games, including a big series win in Cleveland.   We go over the week that was, highlighting a sweep of the Seattle Mariners and what may have been Vladimir Guerrero's breakout game in an 11-0 pounding of the Guardians.   Right-hander Jameson Taillon, who will start Friday's series opener in Kansas City, joins us to discuss his deep Canadian connection and to talk, honestly and openly, about his struggles with the Chicago Cubs this season.   We hear from Sean Keys, a rookie enjoying a playoff race in his first taste of the big leagues, and a pair of veterans - relievers Joe Mantiply and Paul Sewald - who were teammates on the 2023 Arizona Diamondbacks, a team that got all the way to the World Series after sneaking into the post-season in the last wild card spot.    All that, plus your thoughts in the mailbag at [email protected]!
