Sho Alli and Julia Kreuz break down the Blue Jays' 9-2 win over the Rays to grab a series split at Tropicana Field! They take your calls and texts, and get right to the outing from Justin Turner, which saw him knock home four runs, including a solo shot. How important is it to have his bat in the middle of the Blue Jays order? They chat about Kevin Gausman's start, which saw him notch six strikeouts over 4.1 IP - how encouraging was it to see the fastball and splitter both working in tandem? Plus, they get to Ernie Clement's play at shortstop in Bo Bichette's absence, Davis Schneider smashing his first home run of 2024, and how you split time between the glut of talented infielders on the team.

Sho Alli breaks down the Blue Jays' 4-3 loss to the Rays to kick off the series at the Rogers Centre. He takes your calls and texts, and gets right to the offence underperforming once again - what's behind this continued slide? With the news that Ross Atkins is going to speak for the first time this season in the morning, the question remains: what does he need to do or say to turn things around for fans? Sho also takes a look at the past, present and future of the team with the callers, as they ask where things took a potential wrong turn, and whether or not the team can still turn things around.
