Blue Jay Bats Silenced in Sweep + Jon Morosi
5/7/202650 min
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 3-0 loss Wednesday afternoon in Tampa Bay, completing a three-game sweep. They take a closer look at Toronto's sputtering offence and discuss what needs to change to get it back on track. With Addison Barger nearing a return, the boys also chat about the jolt he can bring to the lineup and who will be the odd man out once he's activated, along with thoughts on Patrick Corbin's form at the back of the rotation. Jon Morosi (27:48), MLB Network analyst, weighs in on the teams going through early season struggles around the league, Framber Valdez' eight-game suspension, and Tarik Skubal's outlook as he recovers from surgery.
