## Resource

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 3-2 win vs. the Nationals to open the series in Washington! They take your calls and texts, and discuss the return of Max Scherzer against his former team (on his birthday no less) - did they see enough from Mad Max to roll him out against the Cardinals on the weekend? They get into the bullpen going Rogers-Hoffman-Varland - is this how it was always supposed to look, and can it stay this way moving forward? Plus, they continue the trade deadline discussions with less than a week to go. 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.
