April 5: Julian Merryweather and Pete Walker Join The Show

Toronto Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker on the staff’s performance in their opening series against the Yankees –  including some outstanding work from Julian Merryweather closing out the team’s two wins – and what to expect from Steven Matz’s Blue Jays debut. Texas Rangers TV analyst David Murphy on what to expect at a full capacity sold-out Globe Life Field for the team’s home opener, and the early strong performances by Nate Lowe, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Joey Gallo. Blue Jays RP Julian Merryweather discusses his strong performance to start the season, his adjustment to pitching out of the bullpen, facing Giancarlo Stanton (who he’d had a previous meeting with), and the intensity of his bullpen running mate Jordan Romano. We conclude by delving into Shohei Ohtani’s historic two-way performance in Sunday night’s Angels-White Sox game.
