About this episode
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker discuss the Blue Jays' chance to sweep the Angels and interview pitcher Dylan Cease about his experiences and pitching strategies.
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker kick off today's pregame edition of Blair and Barker with a chance for the Blue Jays to sweep away the Angels! They dive into last night's 4-2 victory and break down how the team survived another shaky outing from Jeff Hoffman, before sharing the lineups for today's matinee. Toronto Blue Jays starter Dylan Cease (05:12) chats about his experience with the Jays' coaching staff, balancing strikeouts with soft contact, his process on the mound, the variety of pitches in his arsenal, his view on the ABS system, and more! After the break (29:15), the guys touch on Trey Yesavage's subpar outing with Triple-A Buffalo, listen back to John Schneider's comments about the ninth inning, and project who will close games moving forward.
