Flight Deck
Blue Jays split with O's, All-Star talk, Luis Robert Jr. available, and more!
Ep. 220
•
After getting hammered in the first two games of this week's four-game set with the high-flying Baltimore Orioles, the Blue Jays battled back with a pair of victories to earn a split with their AL East rivals.
We talked about the good and bad from the series with Baltimore, including Isiah Kiner-Falefa's walk-off single, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s continued success at the plate, and the rough bullpen day outing the Blue Jays had in place of the injured Alek Manoah.
After that, we looked at which Blue Jays have the best cases to be voted into this summer's All-Star Game and also at the rumour that Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox is available. Finally, we took a look ahead to this weekend's series in Oakland with the A's.
