Blue Jays Shut Out Royals & Keep Playoff Hopes Alive ft. Arash Madani

Breaking News: Toronto Raptors announce that Kyle Lowry's jersey retirement ceremony will take place on Jan 10, 2027.

The Toronto Blue Jays are still fighting to qualify for the post season. Lindsay Dunn and Cabbie Richards break down the Blue Jays’ 3-0 win over the Kansas City Royals, as Nathan Lukes delivers the decisive three-run home run and Toronto’s pitching staff shuts down one of baseball’s hottest teams. They also tee up the rubber match against Kansas City and what the Jays need to do to leave the series with a win.

Veteran broadcaster and journalist Arash Madani is here to explain big picture issues with the Toronto Blue Jays from manager John Schneider's tactics with Bo Bichette vs Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the front office's patch work of staring pitchers and the possibility of a Blue Jays march to the post season in a soft American League. Madani will be broadcasting play-by-play from the US Open in New York in September and explains why Felix Auger-Aliassime's ceiling is US Open Champion. What is holding back Bianca Andreescu and Leylah Annie Fernandez from returning to prominence is explored. Lastly, as the Director at Football Canada, Arash reveals how Canada qualified in Flag Football at the 2028 Summer Olympics Games in Los Angeles.
