OverDrive - April 30, 2026 - Hour 1 - Keegan Matheson

This hour of overdrive is powered by FanDuel.

FanDuel bringing you everything from the opening line to the final score.

All right, here we go, overdrive off the running, TSN 1050 on the TSN app,

your home smart speaker up on TSN 4, up on YouTube live,

Brian Haysio, Doug Jeff O'Neill, Jamie Noodles McClennan.

It's going on today.

How are we feeling this afternoon?

Man, there's some weird and wacky stuff going on out there in the

university's days.

I'll tell you.

Whoa, there's some wild stuff.

There's some wild stuff.

There's some wild stuff.

We're not going to go into it.

Leafland is kind of part of the wild stuff.

Who knows what's going on down there.

But other corporations down south,

there's some stuff going on.

Wild stuff.

I actually witnessed some wild stuff this morning.

I'm going to launch an investigation myself

because I think I know what you're going to say.

I don't think you do.

Yeah, I really do.

I'm not sure you do.

You might, if you're guilty, because I,

there is a culprit out there.

Someone had sticky fingers this morning.

I don't know.

I know exactly what you're talking about.

I'll tell you what it is.

And you can just say that's what it is.

All right.

Yeah.

Me and Hays had to do something today

for a production that we're doing later.

Very excited about it.

We're going to have more on this later.

We're announcing it soon.

It's going to be awesome.

We cannot wait.

All right.

But there's a ton of professional people around.

And inside, there was some stuff set up for us.

Breakfast sandwiches, fruit,

and on the other side of the room,

I can't believe somebody saw it.

Dude, I swear I didn't see it.

Okay, let me take it from here.

No, dude, I'm taking it from here.

I'm taking it from here.

Because I will let you explain it.

But I got to get, I got to go through this chronologically

noodles.

So I get there 7.45 this morning, right?

Out at Cobb Town Woods.

Unbelievable place.

Barry, the owner was there.

He's an awesome guy.

Walk in there like O said.

Great spread.

And it's so early.

And I'm hungry.

But I'm already starting to plant seeds for later.

And I walk over and there's a basket filled with.

My favorite candy bar is Snickers.

Okay.

Lost Snickers.

Three or four of them in there.

And I planted my eyes on those.

And I said, it's too early to grab one.

I'll circle back later.

No one's going to take all of the Snickers.

Dude, I know who you're part of.

No, I know who I went back there.

I circle back at 11.30 before I left.

I said, oh, Snickers, I never buy them.

They're my favorite candy bar.

But I never think to get them.

And I'm like, those are on display.

I'm going to grab some Snickers.

There's that bag right there.

I go over there.

They're gone.

And I'm like, someone came by and swept up all the Snickers.

And I knew it was you.

I knew it was you the whole time.

And you knew it was you the second I said,

I'm launching an investigation.

You took it.

How many were in there?

How many do you have in that bag?

You say, let me explain myself first.

And then I'll dig, I'll dig into the tickle truck.

So there's the area.

And not many people are diving into this stuff, OK?

So sometimes, sometimes in the evening, my wife will say to me,

any chance you're going to the store,

that's cold for maybe she wants a little snack.

Right, of course.

I don't care.

I don't care.

We don't care about that stuff.

I live in a similar household.

I know exactly what you mean.

So I was grabbing a coffee, and I did a little next stretch,

and I peered across the room, and there's

a little goodie bag station.

And I'm like, you know what, here's how pathetic it is.

I went up to the head pro, Barry.

And I said, do you have any kind of brown bag

or some kind of bag or something?

So I went over to this little snack shop.

And I've got, I've got, I've got, it's supposed to be for every

past of dozens, noodles, dozens of people.

Show the snickers.

Some of these little guys get to the snickers,

because you know what's sicking me more than anything?

I don't like Mars bars.

And you know what drives me crazy?

People always say that they don't eat chocolate bars.

They're like, oh, it's the same thing, Mars and Snickers.

No, they're not even close.

No.

This degenerate left the Mars bars.

Of course he did.

He picked the Snickers down there.

Dude, oh, you took a Mars bar.

Okay, you did take one.

I placed my eyes on those Snickers at 7.45 this morning.

And I said, I need one.

I'm taking one.

I can't catch you.

This guy stole the whole thing.

The whole thing.

Anything that's not nailed down, he just takes it.

That's what it is.

Noodles, I knew it.

There's the last one.

I knew it was three Snickers.

Because when I saw it, I said, that's my back right there.

I'm taking one of those.

And I circled back out on the exit.

And they were all gone.

And I knew it was this guy that took them.

I knew what it was when I went to do this little mission.

Side quest.

You made sure it wasn't around too.

Because you know if I saw you do that,

I would have called you out immediately.

Dude, I did an FBI scan and look of that room.

And there was no one in there.

As soon as I stuffed this brown bag, I looked back.

And there was four people from the corporation

that we were dealing with.

And they were staring at me like I was an insane old person.

Wow.

Noodles.

You've seen it.

You've seen it.

We've all seen it before.

You've witnessed this before.

There's a bunch of these little snacks too.

Like anything like trade center free agency.

You know, Kit Katz.

Any anything where Nicole Anderson will bring in everything.

And then all of a sudden, she might as well just take it out

of her car and load it right into the back of O's car.

Yes.

Because some of the stuff just disappears.

You're right.

And you're like, oh, that looked great.

Well, where are all the Gatorates?

Where's the Gatorates?

Guys, I have to work in Studio Six quite often.

So what happened?

This just goes to waste.

So I just pull it into my office there.

And it's for everybody.

Yeah.

I knew it was you.

I like, I was posicious in saying I'm launching an investigation.

I didn't need to.

I knew it was you.

I knew you took those snickers.

I'm going to take this a step further.

You did not assume that this was me.

Someone said they saw me go into it.

I swear to you, no one said a word.

Because you were still shoot.

You had to do shots.

I had left.

I had done my stuff.

So I was circling into be a gutless little weasel.

I was going to go in and grab a two pack or a mittful.

And I got in there and I'm like, they're all gone.

And I knew it was in morning noodle.

No one's eating snickers at 1030 in the morning.

It was I know myself like I'm like, no one is touching this.

That is you know what this established is watching this segment going.

I don't even know if we can have these guys back.

You're right, noodles.

You're right.

You're right.

I mean, it's an embarrassment to the whole operate.

We're representing TSN.

We're there representing a great company that employs a lot of amazing people and Brian,

like I think respectfully, you probably would have grabbed two, like maybe just a snicker

and that's not.

Yeah.

Like one or two other road embarrassed to do so.

This guy asked that asked somebody who worked there from Cape Town.

Can you get me a garbage bag or a brown bag so I can just take this whole table and jump

it into the bag and walk out like that's the difference.

You probably took utensils, probably a cable run, like you've probably got it all.

Look at this guy.

It's like a deck of cards, snickers.

I'll tell you what, if you're hungry and not feeling like yourself, grab a snicker.

Yeah.

I guess so.

We can't.

They're not available.

They're not.

I was trying to.

I was and I was going to fall that motto.

Anyway, all right.

We've got a big show today.

We got a big show.

Now's some cadre coming up in an hour.

He's a lethal.

Maybe he's possibly going to be the president of hockey operations or maybe he's involved

because he referenced the leaves, which again, we come in here daily and if there's no

neat leaf news, we're just going to move on to the next thing.

Eventually, there will be, right?

Like the draft lottery, listen to this pig put his stuff in that bag.

That took you 25 seconds to repack the repack the back draft lottery Tuesday, big night,

not only for the leaves, big night for Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Chicago, New York, a lot

of teams.

So there will be news.

At some point, the leaves are going to make a hiring.

The belief is that palliant company have sent this directive to ownership.

Hey, we're looking at Matt Sundine, John Chica, subject to change, but it appears as if

that's the case, the athletic, Johnston, CJ, James Murdle and Jonas have connected.

Whenever the three of them start connecting on a story, you know, stuff's coming.

They have written a story in the athletic, indicate reporting that Thai Domey is heavily

involved in this search.

And obviously, Domey and Sundine, I believe were like best friends when they played here.

We're teammates for a long time.

Domey and John Chica have a long history somehow dating back to London when Max played

there.

Again, I don't believe Domey is a part of a search firm.

I don't think he works with the search firm.

This is Domey Domey in company or whatever it is.

But Thai is allegedly or reportedly involved in the process and maybe he gets a job out

of this too.

It didn't.

Wasn't John Chica in Arizona when Max was there as well.

Yes.

The only thing that would make it awkward having Thai involved, what if one of the first

orders of business is to move his son out of the organization because if you're looking

for I don't know, but I'm just saying, what if you're like, okay, I'm going to clear

out a lot of players and I'm looking at to add to the depth of the organization and the

top six and you know, Max doesn't fit the criteria of what I'm looking at.

Like doesn't that make it weird?

Very reasonable.

Well, that's where let me, let me begin with, I don't have a problem with Thai Domey

as a, he's a, he's an all time great leave.

You know, in terms of the way he played, he was a beloved leave, he's a leaf for a long

time.

One of the truly most famous leaves of my lifetime, of all time, absolutely.

And he literally fought for this team and laid it on the line and he was a great leaf

and he's an alumni.

So if I don't blame Thai Domey if Keith Pellier or someone calls him and off says, hey,

give me your opinion.

Yeah, he's going to give you his opinion.

I'll give you my opinion.

Keith Pellier calls me and goes, I'd like your opinion, I'll give it to you.

Oh, I'm sure you'd say the same noodles, whatever, sure, we'll give you your opinions.

I got no problem with that.

And I also have no issue with Thai maybe thinking, hey, I've got skin in this game as an alumni

and I, I want to possibly have my voice heard.

I don't have an issue with like Thai trying to get involved or being involved from Thai's

perspective where I have an issue, especially if somebody's willing to listen.

That's my point.

But where I have the issue is that they're willing to do that because of the conflict of

interest.

Like if his son's on the team, like this is,

very simple in my opinion, if you're Keith Pellier, you pay the respect to Thai Dome

that he deserves as a great leaf and an alumni.

Yeah.

And you say, Thai, give me your two cents.

I appreciate it, but that's going to be the end of the road because you're not going

to be included in this process because you have a conflict of interest.

Your son's on the team.

Clearly.

So thank you for your opinion.

We love you.

We'll see you in the fall, but we're going to take it from here.

But the idea that that appears to not be the case, I find, I find, I don't want to say

shocking because I'm not sure anything shocking anymore, but I'm surprised that they would

allow the father of someone who's got a kid on the team to be involved in where the future

the Leafs are going.

Well, they're Toronto Hockey League.

Yeah, it seems it's kind of a minor hockey league play, like that's kind of got the

field to it.

The one thing that, you know, you can bring, and this is maybe he was one of the hockey

observers that I believe he was, according to the athletic among others.

So here's the thing, Tai Dome has a lot of relationships, including, let's not forget

with Larry Tannenbaum, like he's, you know, he's close with the Tannenbaum family, I believe,

you know, Tai is entrenched in the city in Toronto.

So you're right, you can leverage those relationships, but you're right.

I think it has to come to a point where you're like, okay, we're going to get it to

here, but because of the conflict of interest or potential, you know, we have to excuse

you.

That's only fair.

And I think it's respectful for both sides.

And I'm sure they did it the right way.

But again, you know, I do, I'll give Keith Pelley credit.

It sounds like he's talked to a lot of people.

It doesn't sound like he just, you know, talked to three people and it's like, I'm making

my mind up.

It sounds like he's really done his due diligence here.

Now again, he's got to choose the right person for the organization or people.

Sounds like if that's John Chica and Matt Sundeen.

Does that mean Sundeen's moving here?

Is he an advisor to John Chica and Chica is the, the guy and they're having a dual role

for him.

We will obviously find that out soon and, you know, more and more is going to trick

a lot here.

But yeah, I mean, Pelley, it references in the article that, you know, he relies on the

opinions of hockey people, non hockey people, people he's met in a business world, the sports

world.

But what also came out of it, which I do think is probably the, I'm not going to say

the most important detail because who they hire is ultimately the most important detail.

And in order to get the higher right, I think you got to go through the proper process.

I'm not convinced that's happening based on some of these details, but it's said in the

athletic article, keeping Captain Austin Matthews and Star Ford, William Neilander in Toronto

has been noted in interviews as a priority for MLSC.

So I'm not surprised by that, but that gets back to who's of who would be willing to

take the job if they're being told and how exactly has to happen and how do you keep them

happy?

Exactly.

By bringing in people they like and what is that?

What does that mean?

Keeping those two guys happy that you're going to make transactions to make this team better

next year?

We've already talked about the lack of assets and it's almost impossible to do to almost

bring in Brucey Boudreau called it five or six new faces.

I think it's almost eight.

How on earth could anyone possibly do that?

It's hard.

Oh, and you're right.

Don't kidding, Jamie.

But one of them or one of your core pieces, not one of them.

I'm just saying one of your core pieces named me a player where it's Morgan Riley, Austin

Matthews, William Neilander, Matthew Nies.

You might have to move one of those players out to get assets back, to get some of the

things that you are looking for to build around the group.

And if you've just been told, Hey, Matthews and Neilander are a non starter.

You build around this group.

Then you start going, OK, well, let's see what Matthew Nies garners.

What see what what Morgan Riley is?

Is there a short term plan or is this a plan to go?

When Austin Matthews is 35 years old, we want to be here.

We want to be there.

Like that's the, it's a concerning thing and again, very troubling is what it is.

Yeah, because you want, we want Austin Matthews here, obviously.

You want William Neilander here.

You want to build around guys that are really good players, which they are, so are players.

But if it's going to take a step back to move forward, do they have the stomach to do

it?

And right now you're already what you're doing to the new manager and the new president

is tying their hand behind their back, one hand behind their back, saying, you got to do it,

but it's got to be what these two are, this potential situation.

Well, what it is, is it's a continuation of the core for error.

That's what it is, where the only thing that mattered was, were those four guys, followed

mattered, right?

And they were going to win.

We can and we will, right?

The famous quote from Doobus, can we will?

It hasn't worked for a decade, right?

These guys as the driving forces of this team, but it's going to work now.

According to MLC, it has to work, but furthermore, what is what is actually, I think deeply rooted

in that is what I remember, I said on this show weeks ago, if I'm Austin Matthews, listening

to this, are you keeping me here because I sell tickets in jerseys or because you think

I can win now, because they're two very different things.

And that would be my concern here.

If I was a prospective GM, I would ask them, Keith Pelley, okay, you want these two to

stay here.

Tell me why you want me to stay here.

And if he doesn't start with, because we know they're the ones that can help you win

the Stanley Cup, then it's the wrong reasoning.

How could he say that with a straight face or ten years?

I don't think he was.

I don't think he was.

They want to play off series.

So how could he possibly say that with a straight face?

And it puts the next GM VP executive hockey operations, whatever you want to call it,

in a position of anxiety for what he's being told.

And I believe tree living probably dealt with the same thing when he got here was you better

make sure those guys are happy, right?

Who cares if they didn't play well, it doesn't matter, right?

Who cares if they have it?

They don't score like they used to score.

Who cares if they mail that in down the stretch more than anybody else?

I just got a question for you guys.

I just put that saying, do you think that Julie and Breeze Boa or John Cooper, when dealing

with headman and Kutcheroff and Braden Point and Sirelli?

Like do you think there's ever that thought process?

And I do understand that it's a completely different market and it's a different philosophy

and they've won championships and they've been to three finals.

Do you think that phrase is ever thrown out there?

We got to make those guys happy.

And obviously do just by the way they're paid and life's great down in Tampa.

But as far as the way you phrase that, like whatever they need, keep those guys

happy.

Do you think that that's ever tossed out down there?

They got rid of their captain for crying out loud because they're going to go play somewhere

else.

Yeah.

That's where I was going to go to.

Oh, is they looked at moving forward.

What was the best for their organization?

They love Steven Stamcoes, like a CGI.

But at the end of the day, you know, they felt, okay, we need to move away because Stamcoes

wanted too much term or too much money or whatever.

They couldn't fit him in in the current structure.

So they went and got Jay Gunzel and said, you know, that's like a, we got Hegel coming

through.

That's going to push through in the middle of the ice like, you know, on the left wing.

Like to me, these are types of things that you have to make hard decisions and it comes

back to what you're just saying, Brian.

Hard decisions might have to be made.

But right now you're already saying, well, you can make the hard decisions, but around

players X and Y or Z instead of going, everything's on the table.

But it's not.

But it's not a vision to make it.

Exactly.

And if you're, if you're a, like if you're someone of a steam, as a hockey executive

in the league, you know, it's, listen, we can't be naive.

Every owners have a saying, everything.

No one's got full autonomy.

Nobody does.

Everyone takes a job.

There are directives and there are obligations that have to be considered.

But does it really just stop here, you know, furthermore, is it just make the playoffs

next year?

Are you thinking of building towards a Stanley Cup?

That's another thing.

Like is, is the objective to win a Stanley Cup or just try to get back in the playoffs

because this year sucks so much?

Those are two very different objectives and, and I don't, I don't know, I mean, we'll

see it.

It sounds as if it's going to be Sundine and Chica Simmons wrote a piece on Chica and a

son.

That was pretty tough.

Steve.

Steve.

Like the computer piece.

Yeah.

The fake screens.

Fake screens.

The only one of the five computers actually worked after someone checked his, yeah, like

a desk after he left, check it out in his son.

It's, it's not exactly a glowing endorsement of John Chica's time in Arizona.

But anyway, we'll see in the draft lottery on next week on Tuesday night, how about the

halves winning last night?

Man.

Oh, man.

I was just going to say to pick you back on what we were talking about with the leaves.

The team up the road, we'll call Montreal, you know, that team's heading in the right direction

and not getting, you know, they're not going anywhere.

They're course young.

They're all under contract.

They're just adding to that group.

They're a hell of a team.

And they're on the cusp of getting to the second room.

And the bottom six is carrying them right now, like that's where they're getting their

five out of five goals are coming from the Gallagher.

That was a cool story last night.

He played a lot.

Taxi, a scoring, Anderson scoring, you know, it's not Caught Field in Demido, a five

on five.

Oh, interesting.

Interesting, Hayes.

It's just an interesting concept, how playoff time, the most important time, different

players that look different and do things differently come up and rise above.

What an interesting concept.

I think it's great for the Habs.

And they didn't let I talked about that hit on Slavkovsky and the hit last year Tom Wilson.

They just said, you know what, we're moving on here and we're going to play and we're going

to respond.

I think Tampa tied it up and right after Kirby Doc scored that goal, like that's a

ballsy response.

Okay.

And it just seemed like that's, that's what you talk about, like scar tissue and learning

lessons.

How a team like that just says, you know what, we're going to go into Tampa and we're going

to get this one and we're going to bring this home.

And if you want to talk about a game, I would love to be at Friday night in Montreal with

a chance to close out the Tampa Bay Lightning.

What a vibe that would be.

They better understand that Tampa's not going to go down without a fight.

They're going to have to play their asses off to beat them.

And I wouldn't be shocked if that goal tenors out of this world because there's been some

weird ones going on.

That was a bad goal.

That third goal on Vasilevsky.

That never goes to terrible goal.

No, and it's a bad goal and the difference was we talked about it like yesterday.

Dolby's played well.

Dolby said 40 shots.

Look, it's not like Tampa just folded the, like Dolby's played very, very well.

Now a lot of it was, I would say perimeter shots because if you look at the chances,

they were a lot closer than just the shots on goal.

I believe it's like 16, 14.

But man, oh man, like this Dolby hasn't folded and Vasilevsky, you need to make that

safe.

That's a bad goal there.

That cost.

That's a game win and goal right there.

Yeah, it's done.

But you're right.

Montreal on Friday night.

That would be some less trick.

The bell center will be electric.

We got a couple of games tonight in Vegas and double over time last night.

I got a short hand and brought out again, but Utah had a lead late in game four and five.

They could have won that series in five and they just couldn't close.

I know.

Crazy.

How close they were?

Yeah.

Down there.

Vegas is going to win.

Vegas is going to win that series.

Feels that way.

Yeah.

I guys close out.

I did.

How about your boy, Cam York, Tom O'Hock chucking his stick into the stomach.

I loved it.

Obviously, I hope nobody got hurt, but that's just.

That's a.

I did that once.

I only I got like first star in Toronto and I just tossed my whole stick up.

Somebody was like, Oh, you can't do that.

Someone and I was like, OK, that's a talk to.

I would never seen it.

Oh, God.

Jack Hughes did it in regular season.

This guy, like he literally wired it in there, like somebody would have their arms in the

air and would have taken that hard because he wired that thing had whip on it and you're

right.

He's a hangman's fan in that part of the stands.

He sure is up in the neck brace today.

Absolutely.

100% neck brace in a wheel chair and the lawsuit is on its way to Cam York because the

league will find him.

I would think at a minimum.

They will clip him because you can't you can't have guys throwing sticks in the stands.

I think it's an incredibly authentic celebration.

Yeah.

The guy never scores.

Like ever and it snuck in and it clenches the series.

It was an incredible selling, but you kind of can't allow that to.

It didn't.

Didn't Daniel Alpherson do that?

Yes.

Well.

Sunday.

Sunday.

That's Alpherson.

Kind of both fun at mock.

Okay.

I knew one of them.

It wasn't that series or whatever.

I knew one of them did.

I couldn't remember what.

Yeah.

Matt's did it and you got two games.

I think because he did it out of frustration.

I think he's stick broke and he rifled the broken piece into the stands and he got I believe

a two game suspension and then Alpherson mocked them later by staking fake didn't chuck

it on the guy.

And that didn't go over so well at Scotiabank Arena.

Hey, is one more team we got to give credit to.

My dad's always been a big fan of junior C hockey loves it.

The Tavastock Braves they're heading to the Schmaltz Cup captain Mark Deon.

They beat the Lakeshore Canadians and they're heading to the Schmaltz Cup.

I love it.

Mark Deon.

Good luck to the boys.

The Tavastock Braves.

Go get him at Schmaltz Cup.

Go get him.

I love it.

That's great.

Little shout out.

Coming up the Jays one another series yesterday.

They've got Minnesota tonight.

We'll catch up with Keegan.

We got Brian Winhorse and an hour.

The rafts they had that game last night.

And they just they they went ice cool in the fourth and Ingram was heard while Ingram.

I don't even know what to make of him.

And Scoti was hurt.

He he was not himself in the second half.

But we'll see if the Raptors can stave off elimination tomorrow night.

So we got Brian Winhorse and about an hour.

Awesome.

Cadre coming up.

Overdrive continues.

Kevin Gosman on the mound.

Jays have now won three straight series.

Couple games under 500.

They have been great on the road this year.

But bats are starting to come alive.

Springers back and healthy.

Bloody is leading the league and like hits and batting average and Ernie Clement got

himself a home run yesterday and everything started to turn here.

It's amazing how because of last season, you can spend 14 and 16, okay, right?

Because they won last year and they played so well.

You look at 14 and 16 and you think I can handle that because of the injuries.

It's early.

Yeah.

The Yankees have been good.

But no one else in the division.

They're still right there for the wild card.

It'll be fine where if they were 14 and 16 last year was like this team stinks.

I got no chance.

Yeah.

Continuation of the year before where they won 74 games and they've earned that.

They've earned the optimism even though they're still under 500.

I think that record with the injuries that they've had Brian is respectable to be honest

with you.

Yeah, especially to like we're talking massive names.

Springers and barger and Kirk and your savage and ponds and exactly burials and beaver.

These are massive pieces of the puzzle here who have been out in a bunch of them again

have now returned.

You savage and springer in particular.

Let's head to many now again, Jay's twins tonight.

Here's a Keegan Mathison from MLB.com.

How you doing, Keegan?

Doing well, fellas.

I got a couple tweets saying I should come on here with the snickers in my hand already.

I don't even know what's going on here.

But I tried to play into it blindly.

Fellas, I actually checked the back of the press boss.

There were none of any little just yet.

I'm going to go.

Okay.

Well, we're starting to lose you there a little bit.

Let's see if we can straighten out.

Now we'll get you back on there.

Maybe a snicker thief in the background heard that.

Wow.

Those status internet.

Wow.

That little snack pack was for my wife after dinner.

I know.

She just sometimes randomly wants a week.

She enjoys a little treat.

It's tough to play.

So that's why I'm not playing it on.

You literally on this show has said that you went to the, what is it?

The barn yarn or whatever and would have 23 sour keys.

I don't think that that was, there was some, a little bit of thought process.

Like I'm going to gorge some of that stuff.

I hope not.

I hope not.

You guys have seen me in studio a couple of times.

There's no more on behavior like there's no, you look great.

Yeah, those days are, that was for my wife.

I did that for love.

I did it for love.

Okay.

Chivalry is not dead is what you said.

Exactly.

So that's what you say in the back of the cop car when he's like, hey, why did you

steal all that?

It wasn't candy away from the golf course.

Exactly.

And now it's out and the thing is we got to walk back into that building in about a week.

And they know it.

I guarantee you what they're going to do is have 400 Snickers bar sitting there.

That would be great.

That's exactly what should happen.

Snickers table of Snickers just scattered throughout the property.

We know what we got to do.

We got to text Barry to see if he can get the security video of me doing that.

Check it.

Your shoulder.

I'd actually like to see it live.

So it is.

If you're listening, if you can get up that security footage of me absolutely dominating

that little snack tray, please text it to me.

I'd be a big fan of that.

Let me just quickly ask though, did you just grab it by hand and throw it in the bag

or did you just take the whole tray and dump it into?

I was going to do the whole tray into the bag thing, but I thought that was ignorant.

I left a bit of every variety of all of what there was a snicker.

Yeah.

There was a snickers.

No, you took every single one of those.

That's that's a lot.

There was a lot.

I take that person.

There were more.

That is a lie, Hayes, because I left.

I made sure to leave one of every variety.

Well, then someone else's not in there because I can't tell you how again, it's such a ridiculous

thing to say.

Like it was you wanted to stick it stuff, but I exactly.

I started my day looking at that saying, that's mine, and there's a lot of them here.

So clearly there's going to be ample opportunity and you had it, you had it in your mind.

On my way out of this place, I got a drive, and I'm having a snickers.

Precisely.

Yeah.

And it was robbed from me.

It was stolen from me.

All right.

So Jay's twins tonight.

Vladie Hittin, 358, a little bit premature to start talking about batting titles and

different awards.

It is still April, but the power is not there, but the hits are certainly there.

It gets on base at time.

We're going to bring Keegan back in, there he is, Keegan Matheson.

You didn't go and search for a snickers or something, is that why you cut yourself off,

Keegan or what?

No, fellas.

I just had to jiggle the dial up here, you know, because I liked hearing an ODog with

one on the road.

I'm picturing you just told him the snickers between your fingers like a dart out the window

of the sprays.

He just ashes the wrapper instead of ashes, it's just like some caramel out, you know.

Why not?

I like that.

All right.

So Vladie, chasing down a batting title, are we willing to dive into that conversation on

April 30th?

Where do you stand on Vladie and his production?

Absolutely, man.

I think we've established that Vladie is not going to be the 48-homer guy again.

And that's okay.

Maybe it happens once or twice down the road eventually when you have that much power

at Cannes, but even when Vladie was coming up as a prospect, what people would tell

you over and over is that he's more of a hitter than a power guy.

And even back then, when Vladie was 18 or 19, I'd say, ah, come on, just shut up, powers

way more fun to talk about.

Let's focus on power.

But Vladie, hitting like he is right now, is a damn valuable baseball player.

And it's not showing up with big, loud moments.

It's not showing up with big, home runs.

And as long as you're hitting 300 plus, that's okay.

If you're a singles guy who is hitting 270, I'm not interested.

But doing what he's doing right now is spectacular.

He can be a batting title guy.

I think very easily.

He can be someone who leaves the league and on base percentage as well.

It's just not what you picture when you look at big Vladie.

It's a guy who's built for power who you expect to hit the ball 500 feet.

It's just a little different.

So Keegan, we were talking about before you came on how 14 and 16 for a record is quite

respectable, given the injuries and all of that stuff that they've gone through the

adversity early on in the season.

Did you concur with that sentiment?

I would, noodles.

If you'd told me, and I hate to revise history too much, but if you had told me at the start

of the month, this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy would all be on the IL, and this

would be the record at the end, you'd probably take it.

You're not winning.

It's not great, but it's okay.

They survived, cash out, start over again, okay?

And with the names they have coming back, when you have Addison Barger coming back, you're

going to have Jose Barrios, which will stabilize this rotation a little bit.

It's getting better, and it doesn't feel as terrible as it did a week ago, two weeks

ago.

It felt real bad, guys.

And I think the context of Major League Baseball helps right now.

I don't know who's won the Yamens in the league this year.

Like really, I don't know where the wins are because it feels like so many of the big

teams, including a couple in the AL East, one who just fired their manager in the staff

in Boston, have not had good starts to this season.

It's a weird, very messy April so far that I think the Jays will benefit from.

And I do think that this is a month we're going to look back on as like, hey, remember

when stuff was that bad because it feels a lot different just the last few days.

Keegan, how do you think Trey is avid, just going to respond to the grind of a real season?

It seemed like last year he was living out a movie, like a sports movie where this guy

played in all levels, ended up in the big leagues, was the stud of the staff, and

just had an incredible run.

How do you think he's going to adjust to like the grind where it's just real life stuff?

It's every five days and you've got to go out there and get it done.

That's the important part now, O'Dog, like that's the difference between being really

cool for a year or sticking around in the big leagues for 12 years.

And the fun part about sticking around is that you get the big contract, okay?

That's a good motivator.

So for Trey now, like we hear the word routines a lot.

That's a boring word.

Very sexy.

It doesn't excite anyone, but that's what's important right now.

That is what allows someone like Kevin Gossman to still be in the league and still be making

big money at 35, okay?

And that's a great motivator again.

So for Trey, one benefit, guys, is that he's going to have the same address this year.

I mean, last year he was living in four or five, six different places, but he's going

to get used to these routines.

And that means the two, three, four days in between your starts, what are you doing?

How are you taking care of yourself?

Do you know when to pull back a little bit?

It means dealing with media constantly because everyone wants to talk to the wonder kid,

the Treyis average.

There are good and bad ways to go about that.

I think he's doing a good job of it, but he's in the right place with the right people,

I think.

But this is the part that doesn't get talked about enough, okay?

We've seen a lot in the city when Alex Manoa came up.

We saw it with Ricky Romero, who rented injuries.

You see it around the league all the time, guys.

Everyone throws a hundred and can strike people out.

That really doesn't excite me all that much anymore.

When someone can do it the second or third year in a row, then I start to get excited because

you see they're adjusting and they're living the life, which not a lot of these guys can

actually do.

With Keegan Matheson, MLB.com, Jay's twins, him and his soda tonight, beginning of a

four game series, Goswin on the Mount for the Jays, and George Springer returns to the

starting line.

I became in as a pinch hitter yesterday, got himself a hit, got himself an RBI, but he's

back, D.H. Inc. tonight.

Where do you think Stan would George in terms of the barometer being as close to 100% as

possible?

Where do you think that lands with him in terms of how he feels and what kind of impact

do you think he can have?

It's not 100%.

I don't think, fellas.

Haven't seen the toe, no real interest in seeing the toe, so I can't provide much of

a visual stouting report, but I don't think he is close to 100% right now.

I'm sure it's still pretty bruised up and something he's dealing with.

You don't fully heal a broken toe this quickly.

The big test, guys, will be, if he hits a double tonight, I want people to watch when

he's going around first base at full speed because your left foot is that inside foot

that you're really putting a lot of weight and pressure on.

Let's see if he rounds the base at full speed.

That's going to be the real test here.

But even if he doesn't, guys, I don't care if he's walking out there, he's an upgrade.

Just to have George Springer at number one, then you can play around with two and with

four, but you have George at one, Vlad, you three.

You finally have something to tie yourself to, which the Blue Jays haven't had in forever.

We've seen Miles Stra, David Schneider, Nathan Lucas, Ernie Clement, batting lead off.

It's not supposed to work like that for this team.

With George back, it just makes more sense, and I would take 70% of George Springer over

no George Springer at all.

Well, we'll see how it plays out tonight and throughout the weekend, Keegan, always great

catching up with your buddy.

We'll do it again soon.

Thank you for this.

You got to follow, stick here.

There he is, Keegan Mappison, MLB.com live from Minnesota, Jays Twins tonight.

Are they going to play some AL East teams any time only play Boston?

Yeah, they're going to play the song and then they're right back out to mini.

Like I want to I want to Boston at home and then right back in the Baltimore and then

the Yankees stadium for a four pack and then down to Tampa.

I know it's coming.

That's coming.

It's going to be an early enough.

That's all you're right.

They're at Tampa after this.

They get to raise a couple of times in the next couple of weeks at the Yankees in May.

They're at the thing is the Yankees are in town on the opening of the World Cup here.

Like Canada is playing Bosnia at 3 p.m. at Bimo and at 7 p.m.

First pitch, Jays Yankees at the Ryder Center.

You know crazy.

It's going to be.

Oh, it's going to be absurd.

I think it's a 737 start, which is smart, push that back a little bit, but man, it is going

to be crazy down there like that crazy down there.

Canada World Cup on Canadian soil match one and then Jays Yankees right down the street.

And after that series, the Jays go to the Red Sox.

So middle of June, it really gets cooking.

Anyway.

Good stuff.

You're doing that.

We've got not some cadre coming up the Thursday.

So I've got an updated bar play list down the couple else, a little updated list for you

guys.

Lot of change.

I think it's a complete turnover here.

I'll be honest.

It's going to be on.

It's interesting.

It's interesting.

You say that because it's not he's not and he's ignorant, Jamie, and he never wants

to.

All right.

You guys.

No, no, no.

We are going to come up and maybe we'll make a hybrid list.

I was thinking about putting she loves in there.

I was thinking about it, but I can't because she loves her.

They both are great.

I've let are.

We've got a 40 save shout out.

I know.

But I said it yesterday.

I said it yesterday.

I said it yesterday.

I said it yesterday.

If Kyle's mandate and he did a brilliant job, if he had two mandates at once, what was

try to get younger and also make the playoffs at the same time, I get it, man.

That's great work for somebody to pull off those two things simultaneously.

But what was the like, did you really think they'd get in like Sid was going to go

on a magic run with that group of guys and like steal one more cup?

That was in 2016 and 17 that they got their last like, like, that was your way out.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

They haven't won a playoff round.

That was 10 years ago.

They don't want to play off round in eight years.

That's right.

Eight years.

That's just not being realistic and it might be ownership.

It might be someone else, but it's just it's not being realistic.

And I get it sometimes your your hands are tied and you got, you know, direction from

up above, which is a scary thing.

But it's like, you got in and you just got pumped by Philly, a younger team.

It's just, I don't know.

It's crazy stuff.

Yeah.

I'd be interesting to see what what they take of this and how they parlay it in the next

season with with Malcolm, with LeTang, what they do with Carlson and, you know, there

to be some guys at age out there, but you know, you know, you've been saying that about

different teams for three years and nobody ever changes.

They just stay there.

They're there.

Well, but I they did try young players there this year at Pittsburgh's future looks pretty

bright, considering, you know, this is a team that is aging out, you know, their core.

But it's, it's, it's, if Sydney Crosby at some point gets to play the Jamie Ben slash

Tyler Sagan role and you've got Kindle that pushes up and other players that are young,

then you're on to something.

That's the Jim Nill, you know, Mantra there in Dallas, like I just don't know who it is

other than Kindle.

Well, they had other young players there now I'm drawing a blank on it, so I should be

more educated.

Well, they had a lot of, they had the Chinnacop kid, they just acquired a great, that was

a great trade.

They're great trade.

They might have found their goal tender and she lost the trade for him for a second

rounder, like they've got some players kind of, you're going, ah, you know, don't mind.

But yes, to your point, oh, they've got LeTang, Carlson, Malcolm, whose deal I believe

is up.

Yeah.

I know.

I agree.

I'm just saying, he's an older guy that's still playing there.

Anyway, we'll see.

We'll see what they end up doing.

It is going to be a very interesting offseason in Pitt, Nazum Kadry in 20 minutes, Brian

Winhorse on the Rappers losing last night, the Lakers lost two, they were up three nothing

in their series.

Now it's three two.

So more on that with Wendy coming up in about 45 minutes overdrive continues, TSN 10

50 and up on YouTube live.

All right, Nazum Kadry coming up, Brian Winhorse as well, the NBA playoffs continuing.

Be cool to be a Minnesota tonight, Jays Twins in the wild have a chance to knock out the

stars at home tonight.

Crazy, that's a little, now you can't do both, right, we could play it at the same time,

technically.

Yeah, you're picking the hockey game if you get a choice clearly, but.

Everybody sent me a text we like to do the odd wage on playoff series, he's like, you

like Minnesota for a hunt or a Dallas tonight for a hunch and I said, I don't know how much

I like that.

I said, do you like that?

Let me ask you and he's like, I ain't doing that.

I'm like, well, why'd you ask me?

He tried to get me to sniff on taking Dallas tonight.

I kind of like many at home, man.

You don't?

You know what?

I've been wrong on everything.

So I feel like the minute I say, well, I think it's going to be a seven game series,

many wraps it up tonight.

So I don't know, I can't get a feel, I've always felt that that series was going to go

the distance.

They're too good at teams.

Yeah, I think Dallas, I think they certainly put up a fight tonight, but many, many, here's

I think the better question.

If you're Colorado, who do you want to see win the series?

Dallas.

You want to see Dallas over many?

I don't think if you asked, like a candid question to the Colorado avalanche player, I would

say of those two teams, they don't want anything to do with Minnesota wild.

There's just something about that mini team, man.

They just, when Hughes gets there, they got balls, they got mojo.

I don't know if I want to deal with them, yeah, and that's after Dallas is the ones

that beat them out last year, that's how crazy this comment is.

I just think many, I don't know, if they do get through tonight or at all, I think they're

going to, they're going to cause a problem for Colorado.

I don't think, I think it's going to be difficult to beat Colorado four times.

That's how I always view the series.

It's like, you got to beat those guys four times.

That's going to be tough for any team that's left in the NHL, any team, but the Minnesota

wild, they're going to cause them some type of problem.

I can assure you that if they get there.

That's for me, that's a game you circle and go that, because those are two teams, those

are two cup contending teams that, because of the standings, because of how the format

is for the playoffs, that could have been a cup final in past years, and one of them's

going home in either tonight or on Saturday, which, well, on top of that, I would argue

and I would think Fandall in the books would agree with this, whoever wins the next round,

Colorado versus Minnesota or versus Dallas, whoever wins that is the cup favorite.

Yeah, clear cut, cup favorite.

By the way, the GM of the Minnesota wild, like we always talk about the resources of

the Toronto Maple Leafs where it's like, you could go out and pay anybody or try to

pluck anybody.

I don't know, but the GM of the Minnesota wild is one guy that I would do that to if I

had the ability.

Bill Graham.

I think Bill Garren is one of the top executive people in the league.

Well, and he's got stones, man.

Sure does.

Go get Quinn Hughes, you know, Parise, you're out of here and remember a couple years ago.

It was three or four years ago.

I don't know when it was, but Matt Boldy was a young kid.

As soon as the season was over, Billy Garren pulled him aside and said, what you're doing

out there is not good enough and it better, it better get better.

Yeah, it has.

And look at that guy now.

He's a stud.

He didn't let him slip through the cracks and become a flake out there.

That guy plays for keeps every night and he's an unbelievable talent.

Yeah.

All right.

Nazum Cadrie, the bar play list continues an updated version.

I'm looking at Darf Laddara.

I got to find space for him.

We want your space.

You got your list and we're going to counter some kind of version of ours.
