Guests: Max Scherzer, Jeff Hoffman, Braydon Fisher, Joey Loperfido
Trey Yesavage made history with his performance in Game 5 of the World Series, sending the Blue Jays home to Toronto with a chance to win the whole shebang on Friday night. The 22-year-old broke his own Jays post-season record with 12 strikeouts and set or tied at least four other post-season or World Series records.
We discuss it all with a quartet of Jays who all watched Yesavage with different perspectives.
Max Scherzer is the Hall of Famer-to-be with 18 years in the bigs, seeing a kid with a month and a half in the majors do things he's never done. Jeff Hoffman, a Jays' first-round pick exactly a decade before Yesavage, watched from the bullpen. Braydon Fisher, voted the Jays' rookie of the year this season, was a big-leaguer four months before Yesavage and talks about their shared rookiedom in the Jays' clubhouse. And Joey Loperfido saw this coming.
And as always, a dip into the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!
