Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off Wednesday morning by recapping the Blue Jays’ Game 4 victory over the Dodgers, highlighting how the team overcame George Springer’s absence and the pivotal role Vladimir Guerrero Jr. could play in the next three games. They discuss Shane Bieber’s strong outing and whether his approach offered a blueprint for containing Shohei Ohtani, as well as Chris Bassitt’s impressive relief performance that may cement him as a key high-leverage arm. The hosts also emphasize the importance of attacking the Dodgers’ bullpen. Later, they’re joined by former major leaguer and By the Books host Jensen Lewis (28:36), who praises the Jays’ resilience, analyzes Bieber’s impact and Ohtani implications, weighs in on Trey Yesavage’s start, and reflects on Bassitt’s emergence. Lewis also considers what broader lessons a Blue Jays World Series win might offer the league.
