Base Running 101 + Cristopher Sánchez Scouting Report
About this episode
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker discuss the Blue Jays' recent games and feature insights from former MLB umpire Dale Scott and Phillies analyst Ben Davis.
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker recap the Blue Jays' weekend series against the Baltimore Orioles, including their 6-4 win, the comeback in the 6th inning, Jeff Hoffman's blown save in their second game, Ernie Clement dodging Gunnar Henderson's tag, Kevin Gausman's outing against his former team and his slider usage. Then, former MLB umpire and crew chief Dale Scott (16:04) takes a deeper dive on the base-running and infield defensive plays between Toronto and O's, and the leash he would have for managers. Later, Phillies TV analyst Ben Davis joins the guys (28:14) to chat about the managerial change with Don Mattingly, if they can sustain their success through the post-season, Cristopher Sánchez's success with his changeup, how he can continue dominating the mound, how the team and Orion Kerkering overcame their devastating loss in the playoffs, Brandon Marsh marking his all-star campaign, and Bryce Harper not losing his step.
