Glowering Lauer

The Blue Jays finally won a series this week, and with Nathan Lukes finally getting over a case of vertigo he somewhat selfishly played through, their offence has started to look downright functional at times. And yet the biggest story around the Jays—outside of the ongoing Jeff Hoffman saga, which I assure you we do touch on in this episode—is the making of one man: Eric Lauer.The team's long man, turned starter, turned reliever, turned arbitration case loser, turned long man, turned starter, turned opener-hater, turned tape-wearer, turned malcontent has once again been making himself the centre of attention, weirdly choosing to fight a war of words with his manager through the media while continuing to not pitch especially well. What's up with that?We talk all about it in this one, plus injury updates, EloyWatch, Yesavage expectations, and more! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
