Episode Notes

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back at the Blue Jays splitting their series against the Yankees in New York, the pitching performances from the opener Braydon Fisher, followed by Adam Macko and Spencer Miles, Jays' success against Aaron Judge, if Miles is ready to get stretched out, Vlad Jr.'s stint hitting second in the order, and what they should expect from Kevin Gausman against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The guys look at Daulton Varsho's performance through May before bringing on Pittsburgh Pirates analyst and former MLB pitcher Matt Capps (34:44) to chat about what Toronto fans should expect to see from Paul Skenes, the team's identity, Bubba Chandler adjusting to a starting role, and if the Pirates' bullpen is strong enough.
