Deep Left Field with Mike Wilner

• We open up the mailbag to help with the post World Series blues after the Jays heartbreaking loss

  It's the day after the day after and the Blue Jays' loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series is still a heartbreaking gut punch. We throw open the Monday Mailbag at [email protected] to share your thoughts, feelings and questions about the game, the series and the season as a whole and hear from a wide range of listeners, from the zen-like appreciation of the Jays' magical year to the anger and frustration over opportunities missed by a team that had a championship within its grasp. And why did IKF slide? Plus, my thoughts on the grave injustice of Gold Gloves denied to Ernie Clement and Alejandro Kirk.

• So close, to the trophy and each other, Blue Jays were one inning shy of winning the World Series with '30 guys that truly believed in each other, truly loved each other'

  Guests: Chris Bassitt, Ernie Clement, Myles Straw, Daulton Varsho   The baseball season is over and the Blue Jays fell short by two outs or one run, however you want to slice it. The Los Angeles Dodgers beat them 5-4 in 11 innings to finish one of the greatest World Series ever played with one of the greatest Game 7s.   We went through the saddest clubhouse I have ever seen to bring you the post-game reactions of Ernie Clement and Chris Bassitt, who were in tears throughout their media scrum, Daulton Varsho, whose one-out grounder in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded couldn't plate the winning run, and Myles Straw, one of the "glue guys" on an extraordinarily close team.   Also, we open the mailbag at [email protected]. It was a sad finish to a phenomenal season, and we still want to hear from you!

• 'The two best words in sports. Game 7....Be loud. Be rowdy.'

  Guests: Ernie Clement, Trey Yesavage   The final day of the 2025 baseball season is upon us and for the first time in franchise history, the Blue Jays will be playing in Game 7 of the World Series.   Even though they never had the lead at any point, Game 6 was a tough loss, ending with Addison Barger getting doubled off second base, representing the tying run. We talk to Ernie Clement, who came up in the bottom of the ninth with runners at second and third, to talk about his one-pitch at-bat and his feelings going into Game 7.   Also, Trey Yesavage joins us and tells us he's ready to go in the finale if necessary, even though he threw more than 100 pitches on Wednesday night.   Plus, we open the mailbag at [email protected] - keep 'em coming!

• Trey Yesavage dominates Dodgers: 'Hollywood couldn't have made it this good

  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 [email protected]!
