Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker share their takeaways from the Blue Jays' series split against the Rays; notably clean-up hitter Justin Turner’s big game and why having him swinging free-and-easy in that spot makes it easier on every other hitter in the lineup. Buck Martinez joins the guys with further thoughts on Turner, Kevin Gausman’s 2024 debut, and the amount of stolen base attempts across MLB in the early-going (24:00). Next hour, Blair and Barker look ahead to Toronto’s series against the Astros and ask Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi about how to deploy the bullpen against Houston, before getting into Vladimir Guerrero’s game plan at the plate in the opening series (49:45). Later, World Series champion and Astros TV analyst Geoff Blum shares his scouting report on Houston and discusses the team’s 0-4 start after being swept by the Yankees (01:17:55).
