Blue Jays Talk

Sho Alli breaks down the Blue Jays' 6-3 loss vs. the Diamondbacks to start the series in Arizona. He takes your texts, and gets right to the Daulton Varsho injury in the third inning - how has the team continued to sustain such a huge amount of injuries this early in the year? Is it time to panic? He also discusses the team's uncharacteristic errors, including a tough one from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the outing from Eric Lauer, the appearances from Spencer Miles and Joe Mantiply, the first home run of the season for Myles Straw, and another hard game for Kazuma Okamoto.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 2-1 loss vs. the Brewers to lose the series, their fifth straight series loss. They take your calls and texts, and get right to the bats staying quiet for a second straight game. Was this Brandon Sproat looking good, or does this fall solely on the Jays offence? Should Vladimir Guerrero Jr. shoulder some more blame for not having as much power as expected so far amidst a variety of injuries? Plus, they get into the outing for Patrick Corbin, chat the bullpen's usage, and debate the brief dustup with Trevor Megill.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 2-1 loss vs. the Brewers in Milwaukee to even this series at one game apiece. They take your calls and texts, and get right to the eighth inning - is that just a tough luck outcome with Tyler Rogers on the mound, or does Brandon Valenzuela wear some of that as well? The offence produced just one run and five hits - what was behind Nathan Lukes batting leadoff and Kazuma Okamoto at DH? Plus, they discuss Dylan Cease allowing no runs over six innings of work - if he manages to be more efficient with his pitch count going forward, could he continue to go deep into games?
