Defensive Miscues + Hitter's Adjustments with Otto Lopez

from Blair & Barker · host Sportsnet

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back at the Blue Jays' 8-2 series-opening loss to the Miami Marlins, Yohendrick Piñango's defensive miscues, the Jays' struggles against starting pitching, how the missing personnel due to injuries have hindered the team's offensive production and Trey Yesavage's outing. Then, Dominican-Canadian and Marlins shortstop Otto Lopez joins the guys (22:14) to chat about returning to the Rogers Centre, how different he is as a player on and off the field compared to when he was with the Jays and now with Miami, preparing against starting pitchers with a big arsenal, how he has adjusted to pitcher's adjustment to his hitting, what it was like facing Yesavage's high release point, if the Marlins can go onto play meaningful games late in the year, and working alongside second basemen Xavier Edwards.  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.
