Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker begin the show reacting to the news of the Blue Jays calling up left-handed power-hitting prospect Sean Keys to the main roster, if there's a spot on the roster for him to become an everyday player, why it's a different team when George Springer and Vlad Jr. aren't having success at the plate, and the lack of quality starts from the starters, especially from Kevin Gausman. Then, Blue Jays manager John Schneider (28:38) joins the guys to chat about the 23-year old prospect before officially bringing him to the Majors, if there's signs of positive progress in Vlad Jr. finding himself at the plate, how the first baseman has handled himself through the rough stretch this year, concerns with the recent outings from his starters, Gausman's slider usage, Ernie Clement's growth as a player, and how has staff and himself navigated through the rollercoaster season.
