Surprises and Disappointments at the Quarter Mark with Jayson Stark

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker head to the Back Leg Line to hear listeners' thoughts on who has surprised them and has disappointed them the most at the quarter mark of the Blue Jays' 2026 season, Yohendrick Piñango's future on the main roster, Vlad Jr.'s early-season struggles, and more. Then, The Athletic's Jayson Stark joins the guys (28:20) to discuss the Phillies' success with Don Mattingly at the helm, if the Atlanta Braves can maintain their top spot in the NL East, how ABS has affected the game including the increased number of unintentional walks to start the year, changes with the strike zone, and how this could change the way pitchers pitch in the long term.
