Bullpen Hit Late, Jays Drop Series Finale vs. Angels

About this episode

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker analyze the Blue Jays' loss to the Angels and discuss player performances and future implications.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 7-3 loss vs. the Angels to wrap up the road trip in California. They take your calls and texts, and get into the outing from Eric Lauer - was there anything to the tape that was on his neck amidst a low-velo start? What does the future look like for Lauer with reinforcements on their way for both the rotation and bullpen? They also discuss the offence, as Nathan Lukes and Ernie Clement both played starring roles in the seventh inning - can they keep this up? Plus, they discuss Braydon Fisher's late meltdown, the roles of both Louis Varland and Jeff Hoffman, and the ongoing development of Kazuma Okamoto.
