Sho Alli and Jesse Rubinoff break down the Blue Jays' 2-1 loss vs. the Royals to lose the series in Kansas City. They take your calls and texts, and get right to another game where the bats were completely shut down - what gives? Is more needed from not just Vladimir Guerrero Jr., but George Springer, Alejandro Kirk, and the rest of the order? They get to a few positives as well, including Daulton Varsho smashing his 19th home run of the year and Shane Bieber nabbing a quality start despite the loss, and discuss the roster moves that sent Chris Bassitt to the IL, Mason Fluharty back to the active roster, and José Berríos to the bullpen.

Jeff Blair breaks down the Blue Jays' 20-1 loss vs. the Royals in Kansas City to open the final road series of the regular season. He takes your calls and texts, and discusses the tough start from Max Scherzer - should he no longer be considered for a playoff rotation, or should he get a few more shots? He gets into the lack of offence - outside of a Springer Dinger on his 36th birthday - in not just this game, but over the last three games...can they turn it around? Plus, José Berríos was seen in the bullpen - what does that mean for Berríos moving forward over the next eight games?
