Guest: Blue Jays Associate Manager DeMarlo Hale
The Blue Jays are going into the season's final weekend having clinched a playoff spot but not knowing whether they'll be the first, second or fourth seed in the American League. The only thing that's assured is that they will open the playoffs at home, whether that's in the wild card round or with a first-round bye.
We talk to Jays' associate manager DeMarlo Hale about a wild week in which the Jays won just twice in eight tries and were almost swept by both Kansas City and Boston. Hale, who was John Gibbons' bench coach with the Jays in their 2015 and '16 playoff runs, and also coached in post-seasons under Terry Francona and Buck Showalter, weighs in on the playoffs to come, on the Jays sputtering to the finish line and on all the recent controversies with umpires and replay reviews.
Also, we open the mailbag and take about a dozen of your questions, most of which have to do with the playoff roster and starting rotation. And thoughts on DFAing Alek Manoah.
