Jays Rough Start Continues + Michael Grange's Raptors Playoff Preview

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the second hour by recapping the Blue Jays’ rough series against the Twins. They outline concerns surrounding Max Scherzer’s short start, the team’s pitching struggles as a whole and heavy bullpen usage. They also address George Springer’s toe injury, the offence’s slow start, and whether mounting injuries could derail the season early. The conversation then shifts to the potential final matchup between Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby and the possibility of seeing them meet in the playoffs. After the break, Sportsnet Raptors reporter Michael Grange (25:25) joins to discuss Toronto securing the 5th seed in the Eastern Conference and their looming matchup with the Cavaliers. Grange also dives into the team’s development this season and Darko Rajaković’s coaching performance.
