Is Vladdy One Swing Away? + Ernie Clement's Patience

Blake Murphy and Kevin Barker are joined by Blue Jays TV analyst Caleb Joseph (4:38) to chat about a catcher's job with their pitcher dealing with the heat before and during a game, if Vladdy Jr. is 'one swing away' from returning to hitting form, Bo Bichette's ability to create opportunities, Alejandro Kirk taking ownership behind the plate and for the team's infield defence, and the importance of getting a start before an All-Star break. Then, Jays' infielder Ernie Clement joins the guys (26:52) to discuss his transition and balance from being aggressive to patience with his at-bats, playing multiple positions in the infield, Davis Schneider finding his way back onto the team, George Springer's veteran experience, and how the clubhouse is handling the recent stretch of success sitting atop of the AL East.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.
