	Description:		Blake Murphy opens the show recapping the series opener between the Jays and Mariners, who's next to get called up from Buffalo to fill Yusei Kikuchi's spot and if Kevin Gausman will miss another start, and how the team sits in the early race for the AL wild card. American poet Hanif Abdurraqib joins the show to chat about his Ken Griffey Jr collection, his fascination with sneakers, and if there's an MLB player that can help market the game more (23:49). Blue Jays TV play-by-play voice Dan Shulman gives his perspective on the mood in the clubhouse as the losses mount up, if there are any concerns with George Springer missing time, if the pitching struggles are bleeding into the offensive struggles, and which areas of the team should the front office focus on to get better (50:03). Spin Rate podcast's Drew Fairservice weighs in on Cavan Biggio's role on the roster and how he's performed this season, if Shohei Ohtani could fit on the team and what kind of package would the Jays include for a trade, which pitchers around the league should Toronto aim for and if there's any optimism in Kikuchi turning around his year (1:17:44).
