Blue Jays Happy Hour - Ep. 32: Where the rubber meets the road
Just a quick one to give you the details about Tuesday's podcast, where you can listen if you missed it live, and when you'll be able to hear us next!
It’s time for the Blue Jays to get serious about the state of their season, and that needs to start with removing Yusei Kikuchi from the rotation. A lottery ticket like Ken Giles could maybe help. So could returns from Julian Merryweather and Nate Pearson. How about a projection-busting sprint to the finish from somebody — anybody? Second base no longer being a black hole? The club’s other starters getting back on track? George Springer looking like he’s not in agony?
There’s a lot going on with the club, none of it particularly good at the moment. For the first time you can genuinely and fairly wonder about Ross Atkins’ job security. And yet they still hold a playoff spot, they still have an outstanding lineup, they are better than they’ve looked. They’re in an incredibly solid spot.
They just have to start playing like it.
On Tuesday’s episode of Blue Jays Happy Hour we talked about all this, plus Yoshi Tsutsugo, Yosver Zulueta, John Schneider, and more. Have a listen!
