On today's edition of the Tall Can Audio podcast we have the perfect occasion to check in on our man Andrew Stoeten of TheBatFlip.ca.are the woes of the Toronto Blue Jays as simple as a failure to convert by Vladimir Guerrero Jr? And if so - what's hampering him? Are Jays fans witnessing the final days of Max Scherzer? What's reasonable to expect the soon to return Shane Bieber? And after all that's happened - is there any reason to believe that this team is still in the mix for an MLB playoff spot?Later on talk turns to a less exasperating topic as Stoeten gives his thoughts on some of the incredibly fun scenes coming out of the World Cup across Canada and Mexico, why the FIFA World Cup seems to be able to regularly overcome all the outside negative noise, how the Canadian team is set up after their first game and how this event could potentially bring in some new fans before it's all said and done.You can check out Stoeten's writing at The Bat Flip by clicking here: https://stoeten.substack.com/Catch the Blue Jays Happy Hour Podcast on Apple here: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/blue-jays-happy-hour/id1564979331Or on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/show/2lAHpAQtOdHqKKgNVIRqRK?si=3KKZm7PpSLele9LKVbkFLwAnd make sure you get your hands on that Father's Day Parliament Hill pack from the Nita Beer Company here: https://nitabeer.com/products/a-father-s-day-exclusive-nita-beer-x-parliamentFollow TCA on bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tallcanaudio.bsky.socialFollow TCA on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@tallcanaudioFollow TCA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tallcanaudioFollow TCA on Instagram: https://instagram.com/tallcanaudio?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Follow TCA on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tallcanaudio
