John Gibbons joins the show for a conversation packed with baseball stories, laughs, and classic Gibby wisdom. The former Blue Jays manager reflects on his lone MLB home run, his famous ejections, the evolution of coaching in today's game, and why he believes the best managers know when to step aside and let great players do what they do best.

Gibby also opens up about his memories of Hall of Famer Roy Halladay, tells an incredible story involving Ted Lilly and a mound visit gone wrong, and explains why players like Whit Merrifield are so valuable to winning teams. To wrap things up, Lindsay and Whit debut a new segment featuring eye black, sunglasses at night, and some strong opinions on baseball fashion.

The Blue Jays injury bug keeps getting worse... On this episode of 6ix Inning Stretch, Whit and Lindsay break down Davis Schneider being sent down to AAA, Nathan Lukes returning to the lineup, and whether “King Louis” could actually enter the Cy Young conversation. They also dive into Toronto’s growing list of pitching injuries, why depth matters so much during a long MLB season, and the incredible story of Adam Macko making history in the majors.

Plus, Whit delivers an all-time rant about modern MLB managerial decisions after the Royals’ brutal loss to the Yankees, shares stories from golfing with NBA legend Ray Allen, and somehow ends up debating the Rolling Stones, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Matthews Band, and Savage Garden. Between rookie debut memories, hilarious clubhouse stories, and baseball analysis you won’t hear anywhere else, this episode has a little bit of everything.
