Are the Jays Back or Is It Just Coors Field?

from The FAN Morning Show · host Sportsnet

Ben and Brent kick things off with thoughts on the red-hot Toronto Blue Jays! They dive into last night's blowout win over the Rockies, this time powered by five home runs to bring the Jays' total runs in this series up to 25. The hosts discuss if Toronto has again found their offensive mojo, or if it is just the Coors Field effect. The duo focus in on Daulton Varsho, who hit a pair of home runs along with a two-run double, and discuss how he has re-inserted himself as a major component in the lineup. B&B also touch on Joey Loperfido, who had to leave the game after getting drilled in the knee by a fastball, to chat about his importance to this team now. Finally, they talk about last night's starter, José Berríos, and where he falls in the rotation's "trust chart". To close the hour, the a.m. boys get into Chris Boucher’s Raptors legacy, Shedeur Sanders’ preseason opportunity in Cleveland, and what the most optimistic outlook is for the LIV tour.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.
