They discuss Chad Dallas' job in relief, and once again chat about the offence scuffling - if Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is going to continue to struggle, could it benefit him to sit down the stretch?

Sho Alli and Kaitlyn McGrath break down the Blue Jays' 5-1 loss vs. the Cardinals to wrap up the series in Toronto. They take your calls and texts, and discuss the in-game storylines, including Max Scherzer notching a quality start at the Dome, while Louis Varland looked uncharacteristically shaky in a tough ninth inning.
