Monday musings!? Spin Rate side sessions? We're still workshopping names for the first of our now twice-weekly podcasts. (Maybe drop us a line on what you think these episodes should be named.) Regardless, Drew and Kaitlyn recap Toronto's Opening Day as well as their first season series win! What observations did the pair make? How about Julian Merryweather flashing brilliance (4:00), and did Kaitlyn predict Merryweather would be the Jays' closer last year?! The duo serve up their thoughts on the bullpen as a whole after three games (13:30). Slim Vlad flaunted his offensive firepower to the Yankees (22:30), but did his bat make up for some infield defensive mistakes (30:30)? What else stuck out to both Drew and Kaitlyn in the Blue Jays' first series of the year?
