Episode Notes
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker recap the Blue Jays' weekend series against the Chicago Cubs, Jays acquiring infielder Luis Urías from the Arizona Diamondbacks for cash considerations and sending outfielder Yohendrick Piñango down to Triple-A Buffalo, Kevin Gausman getting torched against the Cubs, if there's signs for a turnaround this season for the Blue Jays or Houston Astros, Kazuma Okamoto's stability at the plate, Daulton Varsho's at-bats since returning from his injury, and Louis Varland's six-out save. Then, Astros TV analyst Geoff Blum (30:20) stops by to chat about why Yordan Álvarez is the purist hitter in baseball, how he has influenced his teammate Christian Walker, Hunter Brown's growth into becoming the Astros' ace, Jose Altuve's regression, and how aggressive the club will be at the trade deadline.
