Trey Yesavage Wins Season Debut + Raptors vs Cavaliers Game 5 ft. Joe Casciaro

Today’s episode of Off the Roster sees Dan Riccio, Lindsay Dunn, and Cabbie Richards back at it with a packed slate, starting with the Toronto Blue Jays getting a big win behind Trey Yesavage’s season debut. Blue Jays win 3-0 vs Boston and get a strong performance from Yesavage and the Blue Jays bullpen. What it means for the pitching rotation moving forward? Joe Casciaro from The Score unpacks the multiple ways the Cleveland Cavaliers are still favoured in the series against Toronto, but also rookie Collin Murray-Boyles’ impact for the Raptors is a major factor in Toronto’s competitiveness. Toronto’s disruptive defence is finding ways to mitigate James Harden and Donovan Mitchell’s superstar scoring ability, Casciaro notes. Two big questions, which version of Brandon Ingram will appear in Game 5? Why has Cleveland’s front court (Jarrett Allen + Evan Mobley) underachieved? Lastly, Dan, Joe and Cabbie trade Donnie Brasco references while revealing the best Veal Sandwich place in Toronto. Additionally, From there, the conversation takes a turn off the field as Mats Sundin sparks buzz house-hunting in Toronto — which neighbourhood would make the most sense for a Leafs legend — while George Springer’s home hitting the market adds another layer to the Toronto real estate conversation. Rumours of John Chayka (owner of Stathletes and formerly the Arizona Coyotes GM) joining Mats Sundin in the front office spark a compelling conversation about conflicts of interest, with Chayka's analytics company's data available to all 32 NHL teams. Over in the NHL, the Edmonton Oilers stay alive thanks to a gutsy performance with Connor McDavid logging heavy minutes despite being a game-time decision, while Minnesota Wild push the Dallas Stars to the brink behind a dominant night from Kirill Kaprizov. Then the crew shifts to the NBA to break down the league’s proposed “3-2-1 lottery” anti-tanking reform and what it could mean for team building. It’s a full Toronto-centric show with big performances, big questions, and major playoff implications across the board.0:50 Intro 2:15 “Trey Day” Trey Savage’s season debut 7:00 Worry-O-Meter update + Jays Bullpen’s recent success 10:00 Louis Varland’s 4th straight save 12:40 Tyler Heineman’s experience catching Trey Savage and Tyler Rogers 14:30 Boston Bruins survive in OT 15:30 Mats Sundin front office rumours 17:30 John Chayka’s 2nd chance at GM 21:40 Is Mats Sundin the right fit? 25:00 John Chayka’s Stathletes a conflict of interest? 28:50 Edmonton wins in Game 5 30:30 Joe Casciaro is here! 32:00 Casciaro sticks with his Cavaliers to win prediction 33:50 The rise of Collin Murray-Boyles34:50 Best Veal Sandwich in Toronto 36:50 James Harden blames himself39:30 An honest Brandon Ingram take 40:50 “Donnie Brasco” moments 42:40 Cleveland’s Bigs Are Unremarkable so far 45:40 Likelihood of Toronto’s defensive efficiency stifling Cleveland on the road 48:30 NBA’s proposed anti-tanking rules 57:00 Dan lambaste’s the NBA new anti-tanking measures 1:00:30 ProLine Picks - Toronto Raptors + Collin Murray-Boyles 1:02:00 Buffalo Fans Sign Canadian National Anthem #OffTheRoster #BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MatsSundin #LeafsForever #GeorgeSpringer #MLB #NHL #Oilers #ConnorMcDavid #Wild #Kaprizov #NBA #NBADraft #TorontoRaptors #WeTheNorth #Cavs #TorontoSports #TreyYesavage #TreyDay #VealSandwich SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍 Proline: https://proline.olg.ca/#Leafs #Raptors #BlueJays #TorontoFollow Off The Roster on Social Media @offtherosterpodLeave a voicemail at https://www.speakpipe.com/OffTheRoster Hosted on Acast.
