## Resource

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 7-1 loss vs. the Rays to open the four-game series in Toronto. They take your calls and texts, and discuss the continuing struggles for the offence - are there any signs of things turning around? How much blame does Vladimir Guerrero Jr. deserve to shoulder, and can anyone else step up in the meantime? They also get into the start from Dylan Cease, and chat about the rest of the division putting together long streaks - has the time to sell already come? 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.
