On this episode of 6ix Inning Stretch with Lindsay Dunn and Whit Merrifield, the duo dives into some of the hottest topics in baseball. They kick things off with a breakdown of the heated Bryce Harper–Rob Manfred confrontation, before getting into the quirks of handling the lights at Rogers Centre and what it takes to deal with the sweltering mid-summer heat. Whit also shares his perspective on the emotional rollercoaster of navigating the trade deadline as a player. Later in the show, they’re joined by Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement for a wide-ranging chat about life on the road, the art of pitching (even if you’re not a pitcher), wanting to get tossed from a game, and plenty more behind-the-scenes stories you won’t want to miss.

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.

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.

In this episode of 6ix Inning Stretch, Lindsay and Whit break down the imminent return of Alejandro Kirk, Max Scherzer, and Dylan Cease to the Toronto lineup, while Whit goes to bat for Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s slow start and makes a fierce case for why Ernie Clement deserves to run away with the AL All-Star voting at second base. Plus, Whit exposes a hilarious group chat text from Romano and Swanson where they roast former teammate Tim Mayza’s love for a stadium hype video, and he gives his brutally honest thoughts on Kevin Gausman’s sub-par beer-shotgunning skills.

The episode also features an exclusive interview with Blue Jays reliever Mason Fluharty, who currently leads the majors in appearances. Fluharty pulls back the curtain on the daily life of a high-leverage bullpen arm, discussing everything from his hot-and-cold tub recovery routines to the danger of trying to wrestle teammate Louis Varland in the clubhouse. He recounts the sheer adrenaline of his rookie postseason run, including striking out Shohei Ohtani for his first career save in Los Angeles, and explains why a spring training hangout with Canadian rock legends Three Days Grace inspired him to adopt a bit of "divorced dad rock" for his new walk-out song this season.
