BFMD Episode 153 – Grichuk vs Gurriel

After a two week hiatus due to illness Justin and Patrick return to assess the damage done to the Toronto Blue Jays over that span, largely by themselves. The team got smoked in Seattle after a tough homestand and find themselves 6 games below .500 with 6 games to play before the All Star Game. The guys discuss who the Jays should trade away before the deadline on August 3rd, a weak(er) free agent class this winter, and what the next competitive window for the Jays could look like.

  2. BFMD 423 – Bieber Fever Set to Return
  3. BFMD 422 – Brooms Out in Beantown
  4. BFMD 421 – The Opposite of Clutch
  5. BFMD 420 – Clement & Valenzuela Power Blue Jays to Series Win

There are 30 games left in the season. The Toronto Blue Jays need at least 22 wins. That’s going to be tough. 

Justin and Patrick talk about that, Robbie Ray being AL Pitcher of the Month, and provide roster and injury updates. 

The big topic on the day is Randal Grichuk vs Lourdes Gurriel Jr. They’ve both had consistent playing time over the past 75 games and their numbers are very different. 

Next up: 3 games vs the Oakland Athletics before a trip to the Bronx for 4. 

Make or break time.
