Description
Jeff and Kevin open up the phone lines on the Blue Jays’ off-day as listeners weigh-in with their confidence level in the team after a pair of losses to Baltimore. The guys take calls on a variety of Blue Jays topics including: the competition in the American League for wild card spots, Alejandro Kirk, and if Yusei Kikuchi should be a mainstay in the bullpen (04:59). Later on, MLB on TBS analyst Jeff Francoeur discusses the Red Sox' problems with their pitching staff, if the Braves have a legitimate shot to repeat as champions, how the Mets continue to impress, and Austin Riley and Dansby Swanson taking over as leaders from the Freddie Freeman era in Atlanta (30:08). In “Barker’s Back Leg Bits”, Jeff and Kevin solicit questions and determine which game José Berríos should start in a potential wild card series (42:32).
