Varsho Clobbers Two Bombs, Bullpen Blows It Late
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 6-4 loss vs. the Yankees at the Rogers Centre. They take your calls, and get right to the top of the ninth inning - why was Erik Swanson put into a high leverage role late for his first appearance off the IL? Why was Chad Green not available? They debate the bullpen usage, including whether or not Jordan Romano could have pitched a second day in a row. Plus, they get to the offence showing more signs of life, including two home runs from Daulton Varsho, and a rebound outing for Kevin Gausman after a tough few starts to begin the season.

The Hound Dog Bamboozles the Yankees
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 3-1 win over the Yankees to open the series at the Rogers Centre!

How do things shake out when Jordan Romano and Erik Swanson return? Plus, Alejandro Kirk has looked great in the last few games - will it be good for him to get some rest when Danny Jansen is back in the lineup?

Berríos Shoves for Seven Scoreless at the Dome
Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 5-0 win over the Rockies to take the series at Rogers Centre! They take your calls and texts, and discuss another terrific outing from José Berríos, who didn't allow a run over seven scoreless innings. What is the view on Berríos when it comes to the 'ace' conversation? They chat Justin Turner knocking home three runs - is he, without a doubt, the team's best hitter right now? Plus, they chat Nate Pearson's role in the bullpen, who gets sent down when Jordan Romano and Erik Swanson returns, Alejandro Kirk reaching safely four times, the imminent return of Danny Jansen, and the play of Isiah Kiner-Falefa.

Yariel Rodríguez Makes His Major League Debut
Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 5-3 win over the Rockies at the Rogers Centre! They take your calls and texts, and get right to the debut of Yariel Rodríguez, who notched six strikeouts while allowing just one run over 3.2 IP - how impressive was it for a guy who had never set foot on a Major League mound before? They discuss the dominance shown by Yimi Garcia - is there any way he unseats Jordan Romano as the closer of this team, or is it simply a good problem to have? Plus, they discuss the afternoon from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., including his baserunning efforts and offensive performance.

Customer Reviews
Keep Ashbourne
Please keep going with Nick. He’s good on here as well the MLHS podcast.
Show Notes
Please keep the annoying Jeff Blair off this show. He has his own show. Sho Ali and his partners do a great job.
More calls please.
Be kind
Jeff Blair is rude and nasty. His constant snide comments about players, especially Kirk, are unacceptable.
