Description
Blue Jays Manager John Schneider (6:23) discusses the importance of the Blue Jays upcoming series, sorting out the starting rotation with Hyun Jin Ryu close to a return, and George Springer’s recent slump at the plate. Following Schneider, Jeff and Kevin discuss Miles Mikolas being thrown out of Thursday’s game against the Cubs and how the situation was handled by the umpiring crew. To end off the week, the guys go to the ‘Back Leg Line’ (25:18) to answer questions on the batting order, Ryu’s impending return, and if we could see a current Jays starter moved to the pen later in the year or the postseason.
