Former MLB outfielder and current NBC analyst Dexter Fowler (3:01) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker following the Blue Jays' series against the Orioles in Baltimore. They discuss Jesús Sánchez's odd injury, the Jays' tough injury luck, the American League landscape, why it's so hard to hit in today's MLB, and how Pete Crow-Armstrong can break out of his defensive slump in the outfield. Later, Ben Nicholson-Smith (29:00) stops by ahead of the Blue Jays' series against the Atlanta Braves, and he discusses Jeff Hoffman's role moving forward, Spencer Miles' outing against the Orioles, Ernie Clement's adjustment to being an everyday second baseman, and what the Jays have in Charles McAdoo. Finally, Jeff and Kevin grade John Schneider's 2026 campaign so far.
