Description
As the title of this episode would suggest, Drew, Ol' Reliable and, possibly, someone even more reliable than Ol' Reliable, The Athletic's Blue Jays beat reporter, Kaitlyn McGrath, examine the good, the bad and the, at times, very ugly of the Blue Jays start in Buffalo. But! Before then, the trio wield their words adeptly and fasten details together to create a vivid image of a welcoming Sahlen Park, furnished to properly accommodate the Jays (2:30). From Kaitlyn's perspective, is there a difference covering the games at Sahlen Park from home (8:45)? The flock flies towards Toronto's seemingly good feats as of late, including Jordan Romano and the 'pen (16:00). What positives has Kaitlyn been able to identify (18:45)? Getting into the not so good, re: bad: Nate Pearson, though bright and brimming with potential, has fumbled through his last couple starts (27:15), and Vlad Guerrero Jr. absolutely, unequivocally, needs to begin producing offensively (40:15). As for the ugly, in a normal season, would the Jays consider, if not enact, demoting Guerrero Jr. in order for him to reestablish himself (53:30)? Guess what? It's time for another where-do-we-stand-on-Charlie-Montoyo update (1:00:15)! Plus, is this team fundamentally flawed (1:07:30)?Follow Drew on Twitter: @DrewGROFFollow Stoeten on Twitter: @AndrewStoetenFollow Kaitlyn on Twitter: @kaitlyncmcgrath
