Four Jays to play All-Star Game; first-half team grades & Drew gives credit to the Rays?!

Spin Rate: A show about the Toronto Blue Jays

*In Steve Harwell singing voice* "Hey now, Jays got four All-Stars, get on the field now, and go play". Toronto smashed all other American League teams in All-Star participants with four honorees, including three starters, the most of any team regardless of conference. Drew and Kaitlyn discern whether if all that glitters is gold with Toronto's ASG members. Was it madness, enlightenment, a revelation(?) that caused Drew to compliment the Rays? The first-ever instance on Spin Rate where Drew praised Tampa Bay is followed by him and Kaitlyn breaking down the Jays' series win versus the aforementioned Florida club. The duo dish out team grades at the season's midway point, and discuss Robbie Ray's surprisingly good performance this year. Plus, will the Jays be back in Toronto before the end of the season?
