Blue Jays Happy Hour - Episode 102: Solving Vladdy and the fifth starter's spot

Talking about another frustrating week for the Blue Jays

The glow of four straight series wins has long since dissipated for the Blue Jays, as they struggled this week, dropping two of three in Baltimore after a similarly disappointing weekend series against Minnesota. There have been bright spots, like José Berríos, Nate Pearson, and Trevor Richards, but — as always — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the centre of attention for this team, for good or ill. And right now it’s mostly been for ill.

A vibe check, Vladdy’s weird numbers, the search for a fifth starter, making your own luck, and a little love for Orelvis Martinez were just some of the topics we discussed this week. Have a listen!
