About this episode
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker analyze the Blue Jays' loss to the Rays and discuss key player performances and decisions.
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 4-3 loss vs. the Rays to also lose the series down in Florida. They take your calls and texts, and get right to that fateful eighth inning - should Louis Varland have been deployed against the meat of the Rays order over Rogers? How much blame does Rogers deserve for that inning? Plus, they discuss Brandon Valenzuela's up-and-down game, Yohendrick Piñango continuing to look good, the offensive output for Daulton Varsho, and the outing from Kevin Gausman. 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.
