7/3/202649 min

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker begin their Friday edition discussing the Blue Jays' upcoming road series against the Seattle Mariners, game plans for Dylan Cease and attacking Luis Castillo, George Springer's playing time vs. Sean Keys, and the need for a successful outing from Shane Bieber. Then, Blue Jays manager John Schneider stops by (27:00) to share some updates on Anthony Santander and Max Scherzer, whether Nathan Lukes has a case to remain on the top of the order when Springer returns, Vlad Jr.'s double during Canada Day, how Cease can go deeper into games starting against the Mariners, Bieber controlling his walks, and why Keys' swing has been working at the Major League level.
