Summary
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker recap the Blue Jays' 7-2 win over the Atlanta Braves in their series finale, Toronto having success against Chris Sale, how Trey Yesavage can bounce back against the same team in Baltimore, the expected bullpen usage between Louis Varland, Braydon Fisher and Jeff Hoffman in the late innings, and early impressions of Charles McAdoo. Then, Blue Jays manager John Schneider joins the guys (26:10) to chat about the return of Simeon Woods Richardson and how he'll use him out of the pen, if Varland has naturally transitioned into the closer's role, Jeff Hoffman's recent performances, how McAdoo has acclimated himself into the Majors, Nathan Lukes being the jack of all trades as a baseball player, whether he'll consider resting George Springer more, whether he'd consider having three catchers in the lineup, and the effort shown by his players on the baseball diamond.
