Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 5-4 win vs. the Phillies to open the series! They take your calls and texts, and discuss the dramatic ending to the game - was Tyler Rogers the right choice late despite rarely throwing in the ninth inning? Did the Jays get lucky with Alejandro Kirk swiping for Trea Turner with his knee on home plate? They get into the debut for José Soriano, get into bullpen appearances for Mason Fluharty, Lázaro Estrada, Brendon Little, and knuckleballer Matt Waldron - did John Schneider push the right buttons? Plus, they discuss a three-for-four night - including a home run - for Josh Smith - what does the rest of 2026 look like for him?
