About this episode
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker open today's show rehashing their debate about Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s lack of home run power early on this season. After agreeing to disagree, the guys move on to discuss the Blue Jays' 7-0 shutout loss at the hands of the Houston Astros. They chat about what they saw from Kevin Gausman on the mound Monday night, how to fix Toronto's sputtering offence, and what to make of limited production from the top of the batting order. Ryan Dempster (29:06), World Series champion and co-host of Intentional Talk on MLB Network, shares what it's like pitching for a team without an offensive punch. Ryan weighs in on Anthony Santander's slow start and the challenges that come with pitching in different ballparks, before taking a look around league to discuss the crowded N.L. West and the state of the Cubs.
