About this episode
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker share their weekend takeaways after the Blue Jays took two of three against the Colorado Rockies. The guys break down José Berríos’ outstanding start, Yariel Rodriguez’s MLB debut, Alek Manaoh’s performance with the AAA Buffalo Bisons, and Daulton Varsho sitting on Sunday after hitting a grand slam in Saturday’s win. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com and MLB Network shares the latest from New York ahead of the Jays-Yankees series: notably how they have mitigated the loss of ace Gerrit Cole in the early-going (29:42). Sportsnet’s Buck Martinez discusses Danny Jansen being reinstated from the IL, what he’s seen from Nate Pearson out of the bullpen, and why he sees Berríos being in the American League Cy Young running in 2024 (49:41). To end the show, Jeff and Kevin examine the Blue Jays lineup for game one against the Yankees and give some love to Isiah Kiner-Falefa for his recent play (01:18:53).
