Turns out it's not just Jays' play-by-play broadcaster Ben Wagner being forced to call away games from a monitor. Both Joe Bowen and Jim Ralph are stuck in a studio whenever the Leafs are on the road - and that won't change, even in the playoffs.
Imagine if this is finally the year the Leafs win the Cup on the road and the two men responsible for bringing it to you aren't there to share in it. What a disservice to listeners.

Considering all of the Leafs social media posts use Joe for the audio... you would think they could find the budget to send them on the road?
He's a key asset to the fabric of the team.

grrrr .. wish I could actually watch the actual Leafs game with Joe doing the play-by-play. i've never had consistent success trying to sync a radio feed with a TV broadcast.
