🎧BJHH: 128 - Slowey Bats

The plague-filled Blue Jays beat the Orioles on Monday, and put together a great comeback on Saturday, but it hasn't been quite enough to improve morale.

Despite some uplifting recent performances, including a surprising one from Alek Manoah, the Blue Jays' bats still feel awfully sluggish—and Statcast's just-released bat speed data concurs. In this episode, Nick and Stoeten will try to make sense of that, while also talking about Manoah's big rebound, Vlad’s BABIP, Springer discourse, Justin Turner’s Matt Chapman impression, and much more!
