Summary
Justin and Patrick are back with another episode of BFMD. The Blue Jays are heading into the All-Star break in a playoff spot and are coming off of a 5-1 homestand.
The team has 6 All-Stars and will send 5 of them to LA this week.
The guys talk MLB Draft, Lourdes Gurriel Jr, and Raimel Tapia.
The Toronto Blue Jays have fired Charlie Montoyo amid the recent struggles of the team in a surprising(?) move.
Justin and Patrick talk about the move, the justification for and against, and what it means for the future of the team.
Doug Eddings is an awful umpire.
Justin and Patrick go off on what was the worst called game of the 2022 season, and start a GoFundMe to get Doug Eddings laser eye surgery.
The guys then briefly review the rest of the series with the White Sox before previewing the Brewers starters for the weekend.
The Blue Jays managed to salvage the third game of the series against the mighty Yankees over the weekend. Pitching was the key difference in the first two games with the Yankees holding the Jays to a combined 3 runs.
Justin and Patrick preview the upcoming trip to Chicago for 3 games against a White Sox team that now has both Lance Lynn and perhaps Tim Anderson back and healthy. It should be a fun series!
We’ll be back on Thursday to preview the series with the Brew Crew!
Justin & Patrick are back with another episode of BFMD.
The guys discuss the past week and dive into the numbers for the starting pitchers to highlight areas of strength and weakness. Why won’t Kikuchi throw more changeups? What’s up with Gausman?

Thank you for listening!
The Blue Jays are promoting MLB’s 4th best prospect this weekend with Gabriel Moreno joining the team in Detroit.
Justin and Patrick discuss what that means for the Blue Jays catching situation, and what Moreno brings to the table.
