Episode 77</strong></p>
<p>Greg and Josh go over the final week of the season and the decisions and press conferences from the immediate aftermath. They discuss Jose Bautista&#8217;s final games and the declining of his option, Josh Donaldson&#8217;s desire to remain in Toronto, the early outlook for the upcoming offseason based on comments from Ross Atkins, the murky future for Devon Travis, and the ballot goofiness from the Blue Jays team award voting. They also answer listener questions and give out two Do Overs, one to MLB and one the Giancarlo Stanton. </p>

Episode 76</strong></p>
<p>2016 first round draft pick and Blue Jays prospect <a href="https://twitter.com/TJZeuch" target="_blank">T.J. Zeuch</a> stops by to discuss life leading up to the draft, how he picked his university, the nomadic lifestyle of a recent draftee, and prepping for the upcoming Arizona Fall League. Greg and Josh also go deep on the legacy and (likely) final home days for Jose Bautista, the unreal finish for Josh Donaldson, the Bautista-esque September from Teoscar Hernandez, and Marcus Stroman&#8217;s quest for 200 innings. Finally, they take listener questions and give out a Cliché of the Week and a Gold Star.</p>

Episode 63</strong></p>
<p>The Ringer and Effectively Wild&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/BenLindbergh" target="_blank">Ben Lindbergh</a> drops by to talk about <a href="https://theringer.com/2017-mlb-home-run-spike-juiced-ball-testing-reveal-155cd21108bc" target="_blank">his recent piece on the effect of the baseball on the home run surge across baseball</a>. He goes over his findings relating to the bounce of the ball and the lower seams, the cause/effect relationship of the new ball and the &#8220;flyball&#8221; revolution, and looks at why the home run increase is larger in the middle, as opposed to the big boppers. Greg and Josh also discuss the recent Jays play, including notes on the departure of Jason Grilli, the returns of Ezequiel Carrera and Michael Saunders, Justin Smoak&#8217;s All-Star surge, and the return to form of Steve Pearce. They also give out a Do-Over, answer listener questions and give a Gold Star to John Gibbons for his handling of the Roberto Osuna issue.</p>
