Jeff and Kevin share their thoughts on the inconsistent strike zone during Monday night’s Blue Jays-Rays game, Nate Pearson potentially tipping his pitches, and the team’s current bullpen hierarchy. Orestes Destrade, former MLB first baseman and current Rays analyst, weighs in on Shane Baz’s impressive MLB debut on Monday and how this year’s Rays team compares to the group that made the World Series in 2020 (23:43). Will Middlebrooks, former MLB third baseman, current CBS analyst, and co-host of the Wake and Rake podcast, joins the show to chat about the Red Sox rebounding from their COVID-19 outbreak, Kyle Schwarber’s impact on Boston’s lineup, and his pick for AL MVP (46:15). Ben Wagner stops by to discuss Kevin Kiermaier picking up a scouting card that fell from Alejandro Kirk’s wristband during Monday’s game and whether the Blue Jays should take retributive action with Alek Manoah on the hill on Tuesday night (1:05:06).
