## Resource

Sho Alli and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 13-2 blowout defeat vs. the Royals to lose the series in Toronto. They take your calls and texts, and discuss the team getting booed after things got uncompetitive - how much of this falls on the shoulders of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and how much of it falls on the rest of the team? Does the team still have a chance at the playoffs despite the series loss? Plus, they discuss the issues with the middle of the order, get into Spencer Arrighetti's first start as a Jay, and chat about what lies ahead with the coming schedule. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
