Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 8-0 loss to the Astros at Minute Maid Park. They take your calls, and get right to the offence, which leaves Houston having scored two runs in three games. Does this go beyond analytics at this point? Is the offence's sample size truly these seven games in 2024 alongside the 162 games in 2023? Should Marcus Stroman practice throwing a changeup ahead of Friday's series opener against the Yankees? Plus, they discuss how to divvy up blame at this stage of the season, whether it's on the players, the front office, or perhaps both.

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?
