Description
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker start with the Blue Jays dropping the first game of the series against the Yankees last night, Aaron Judge peeking at the dugout, what he could have possibly been looking at and whether it was cheating or just good old-fashioned baseball gamesmanship. Then, Alek Manoah's struggles; is it a simple fix or a longer-term problem? Sportsnet colour commentator Buck Martinez joins the show (29:31) to talk about Judge-Gate, what he makes of Manoah’s struggles and how he would address them. MLB.com Yankees reporter and author of 62: Aaron Judge, the New York Yankees, and the Pursuit of Greatness, Bryan Hoch joins the guys to go over the Aaron Judge situation and whether or not he thinks he was cheating (52:55). Bryan also goes over how the new contract and being captain of the Yankee’s has affected him. The guys close out the day with the ‘Back Leg' line!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.
