A solid series against Tampa Bay gives way to some grappling with a return on today's episode!
Ryan Andrews begins by looking at the performances of the Blue Jays' rookie starters during the series against the Rays. Andrews notes the struggles Sean Reid-Foley had in maintaining control of his electric stuff in what will likely be his final start of the season. Contrasting that with Thomas Pannone's steady performance and it becomes clear what the 2019 pecking order is. Andrews also notes that while Pannone had a tough situation mentally on the mound in the third inning, coming through that may serve him well moving forward.
The second segment discusses Ryan Borucki's game effort against Blake Snell and details facets where the lefty can improve as he heads into an off-season where he knows he will be an MLB starter. Andrews also shakes their head at Jose Fernandez's series and locks the left in as next year's QEW specialist.
In the final segment, Andrews deals with the return of Roberto Osuna and the emotions that are brought up. The host makes it clear that they want no part of any kind of potential sympathy for the former closer, and discusses their Jays From the Couch article where they recommend a hearty chorus of boos be rained upon the domestic abuser.
