Summary
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 9-2 win vs. the Royals to open the three-game series in Kansas City! They take your calls and texts, and discuss the offence coming through early and often in this game - are they simply more confident right now when it comes to taking swings at the plate? They also get into Jameson Taillon leaving the game after two innings with right forearm discomfort, and also discuss John Schneider pushing all the right bullpen buttons from the third inning onwards. Plus, they get into the job Ross Atkins has done over a long period of time, and look ahead to Max Scherzer's coming start in the next game.
