    Toronto's playoff hopes are alive... But it's complicated | 6ix Inning Stretch

    The Blue Jays are suddenly right in the middle of the American League Wild Card race, and Whit Merrifield believes their pitching could be the key to getting them into October. On this episode of 6ix Inning Stretch, Whit and Lindsay Dunn break down Toronto's playoff push, the team's challenging remaining schedule, the emergence of young players like Brett Bateman and Charles McAdoo, and whether the Blue Jays can get enough offence from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer to make a postseason run. They also discuss the importance of keeping the starting rotation deep into games and preserving the bullpen for the stretch run. Plus, Whit gives his perspective on Kyle Tucker's struggles with the Dodgers, Pete Crow-Armstrong's impressive season, how the pitch clock has changed stealing bases, Michael Soroka, what happens to MLB families when players are traded at the deadline, and some behind-the-scenes insight into players and reporters sharing information.
