Artificial Turf Wars Ep. 30: We Serve at the Altar of Chaos

Jay Jaffe of Sports Illustrated stops by to discuss his support for “Team Entropy;” the chaos that can be created when there are multiple teams tied for playoff spots. He runs down some of the potential fun of this year’s pennant race, while also weighing in on playoff roster sizes and series regulations. Greg and Josh also discuss Marco Estrada’s bounce back start, Edwin Encarnacion’s impressive season, the Blue Jays second home in Seattle, and the still slumping offence. Finally, they answer listener questions, discuss some fun Jays stats from the past week, and give out a special award to Rick Porcello.
