Blue Jays Talk

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 3-1 loss vs. the Yankees to open the three-game series in New York. They take your calls and texts, and discuss the lack of offence against Cam Schlittler despite forcing six hits and three walks over six innings - what led to their lack of offensive production? They get into Jesús Sánchez still being rolled out there against right-handed pitchers, the imminent return of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (we think), and discuss the somewhat-questionable home run call in favour of the Yankees early on.
