    15/04/2023 Duração: 32min

    Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 6-3 win over the Rays at Rogers Centre! They take your calls and discuss history being denied, as the Rays' 13-0 streak to start the season was snapped by José Berríos and Bo Bichette. Berríos shoved for five innings before leaving with a knee contusion, while Bichette grabbed five hits, including the 500th of his career - does the offence put to rest any concerns with his defence? They also discuss the bullpen usage, including a rusty outing from Yimi Garcia, and get to yet another leadoff dinger from George Springer. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
