Description
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look ahead to this weekend’s series against the Seattle Mariners where Teoscar Hernandez will make his return to Rogers Centre. Hall of Famer and hitting consultant Chipper Jones joins the show to discuss what he did to break out of hitting slumps and how it relates to the current Blue Jays (10:30). Former Mariners All-Star and podcast host Bret Boone talks about how Hernandez has fit in with Seattle, losing Erik Swanson to Toronto, and his experiences as a hitter (11AM). Blue Jays Manager John Schneider re-visits his decision-making in last season’s postseason loss to Seattle and talks about the recent success of Jose Berrios and Yusei Kikuchi in the rotation (11:30). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Joe Siddall joins the show with the latest from Florida, what Jays pitchers and catchers thought of the new-pitch technology, what the team still needs to add, and why he wouldn’t carry three catchers on the roster (31:50).
