Podcast: Blue Jays Talk
Published On: Wed Aug 20 2025
Description: Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 2-1 loss vs. the Pirates, as they drop two of three in Pittsburgh. They take your calls and texts, and they get right to Chris Bassitt striking out ten Pirates over 5.2 IP - despite the loss, did the good start on the road inspire any more confidence in Bassitt on the road? They also get into John Schneider's pre-game comments on Eric Lauer being sent to the bullpen, what Lauer's role will be going forward, and react live to Braydon Fisher being optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
