Summary
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 6-1 loss vs. the Guardians to open the series in Cleveland. They take your calls and texts - was this a scheduled loss with the pitching matchup they had? How did Gavin Williams strike out 13 Blue Jays batters over seven innings of work - was he just hot, or is this a larger issue given the entire season? Plus, they debate the usage of Joe Mantiply over a rested bullpen, chat about Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s offence once again, and lookahead to Dylan Cease hitting the mound tomorrow.
