Blue Jays Central analyst and former MLB outfielder Kevin Pillar (1:15) joins Jeff and Kevin to weigh in on the 'fourth out' rule, how Dylan Cease's delivery adds to his success, post-trade deadline relief in the clubhouse, his playing time with former L.A. Angels teammate José Soriano, why Nathan Lukes is a great defender in the outfield, and what would be his advice to Vlad Jr. to work on in the offseason. Then, Jeff and Kevin continue their conversation surrounding the controversial fourth out with New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone's reaction to the play before bringing on former MLB player and manager Bobby Valentine (27:02) to get his thoughts on the ruling, how he used to his advantage while managing in Japan, how the Angels used former starter Soriano and what he can contribute to the Jays' staff, and why some pitchers are getting away with not standing on the rubber.
