We've needed a good Jays podcast for too long... Gibby is the perfect person to finally do it and it was well worth the wait!

Alek Manoah is the most relatable and likeable Blue Jay and this interview was awesome!!!

[@Daily_Facts_705]

What a job by Alek. Easily was my favourite Jay. After this interview there is absolutely 0 question. Watching him talk about Kirkie with love and respect brought tears to my eyes. Hell of a player and teammate.

[@terrikinghorn7405]

Love getting to know the players like this. Thanks.

Thanks for doing this type of stuff Gibby, awesome hearing about the intimate parts of baseball that we don't normally get to hear about. Keep it up, this channel will grow just keep going!

Great episode, Big Puma Let's go! I'd love to see you interview Joe Biagini and find out what his feelings were when Arash didn't hug him when Joe asked for a hug during an interview in the dugout!

[@mq830]

Alek is the Present and the Future! Hope he plays his whole career in the 6ix! Get his name up in the Level of Excellence.

[@Th3DarkCanuck]

Love it Gibby!

[@edwardbliss8931]

The way he pitches reminds me of Catfish Hunter

[@DHARMYOGCOM]

i respect gibbons for disagreeing about game 162. lot of these baseball guys just be positive and support anything that comes out the managements mouth. Manoah is the ace and you have to pitch him in the playoffs. its not like there is a rule against not being able to pitch after one game. so its good if they pitch him.

Yes yes yes

[@johnnyeaton]

I've always wanted to catch a ball, and if I did- any ball- I'd keep it until I caught another one

[@johnnyeaton]

"You gotta treat people right." - Alek Manoah, e.g. don't yell "Sit down, b*tch" at opponents? ;P I joke because it really does seem like he learned from that episode and listened to what Schneider said to him afterwards. He's easy to root for when he can grow as a player and a human.
