## Resource

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays’ 12-4 loss to the White Sox to open their three-game series at Rogers Centre. They take your calls and texts, and discuss Spencer Miles’ difficult second inning, the Jays continuing to squander important opportunities at the plate, and what direction the front office should take with the trade deadline approaching.
