Summary
Sportsnet's Blue Jays TV analyst Joe Siddall (0:51) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to break down how Vlad Jr. could work his way out of his hitting slump, where Daulton Varsho's game is at both on the offensive and defensive side this season, Dylan Cease's pitching arsenal, how John Schneider will juggle around the lineup when Addison Barger and Nathan Lukes return, if Yohendrick Piñango is the odd man out, and what has gone wrong for George Springer in his at-bats. Then, former MLB pitcher and MLB Network Analyst Dan Plesac stops by (26:52) to share his experience with role changes out of the bullpen, why he has two New York Yankees starters at the top of his pitching rankings, why WBC could be a strong indication of players' slow starts, if the New York Mets can fix their season, and which players have caught his eye across the league.
