🎧BJHH: 125 - The Var-Show Finally Debuts
A surprising figure is carrying the Blue Jays' offence through their best stretch of the season so far—a crucial fact given the struggles at the top of the lineup and some unease in the bullpen.
The Jays can't seem to score more than five runs in a game or finish off a sweep, but things are going well, and the way has been led lately by Daulton Varsho—last year's much maligned major acquisition. Finally.
That said, not everything is perfect for the club, but that just gives Nick and Stoeten plenty else to talk about in this week's episode, including: a bullpen confidence check, concerns for the top of the lineup, the status of on-fire prospects Orelvis Martinez and Addison Barger, and more!

I can't even wait for the Vlad article I assume you're working on.....he's killing me right now. He's giving me terrible vibes.
Glad to see Var-show raking. As you know, he's my guy on this squad.
The Dutch ads I get when listening to this makes me laugh.
