Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 5-0 shutout loss to the White Sox to even the series at Rogers Centre. They take your calls, and get right to the offence no-showing vs. Garrett Crochet - how many times can you 'tip your cap' to the opposing team? They discuss the bats only mustering two hits against Crochet and the White Sox bullpen, the uneven outing from Yusei Kikuchi, and how the Ross Atkins availability from the weekend has not satisfied fans who want change.

JTP: Batting Order Fun & the State of White Sox

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 9-3 win over the White Sox to kick off the series at Rogers Centre on Victoria Day! They take your calls and texts, and get right to Danny Jansen getting the call to bat second in the lineup - he turned in five RBI, including a two-run bomb. Does the new-look lineup need to stick? They discuss the six innings of three-run ball from José Berríos, Daulton Varsho slamming another home run, and get to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette - with their production trending upwards, does the team still need more power from them both?

JTP: The Atkins Presser & Manoah Shines

Sho Alli breaks down the Blue Jays' 5-2 win over the Rays to salvage the series with a win at the Rogers Centre. He takes your calls and texts, and gets right to Alek Manoah's seven innings of one-hit ball, allowing no runs and issuing just one walk over 103 pitches. How important is it for him to have two back-to-back outings of playing well? He also showed his emotional, fiery side today - is that good or bad? Plus, Daniel Vogelbach went three-for-four including a solo home run - after seeing the first Vogelbomb of the season, how much more secure is his spot on the team?
