Blue Jays Hell Week w/ Ben Nicholson-Smith

from The JD Bunkis Podcast · host Sportsnet

JD reacts to the Blue Jays getting beat down 14-2 by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ben Nicholson-Smith, MLB insider and Sportsnet reporter, gets into the Blue Jays' long list of injuries. JD and Ben discuss Max Scherzer’s forearm tendinitis; when it became a cause for concern and how the Jays might strategize their sudden lack of pitching depth. Later, JD and Ben talk about the weight of expectation and the slow start to the season could spoil the goodwill from the fan base, Brandon Valenzuela’s chances of moving up the catcher depth chart, what the most optimistic signs have been, and how aggressive the Jays could get with roster movement. The hour ends with JD’s thoughts on the state of college basketball.  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.
