Sho Alli breaks down the Blue Jays' 1-0 walk-off loss to the Reds in Cincinnati. He takes your calls and texts, and gets to the bats getting frozen out once again - why does this keep happening? Is there a singular explanation? Who should take responsibility, the manager, the hitting coaches, bench coach, is there one person to point at? He also gets to the start from José Berríos, who didn't allow a single run over 5.2 IP - he has been consistent all year long, though perhaps deserved a better fate. Plus, with Bo Bichette returning on Saturday, who gets sent down first, Davis Schneider or Santiago Espinal?
