Then, Blue Jays manager John Schneider joins the guys (26:10) to chat about the return of Simeon Woods Richardson and how he'll use him out of the pen, if Varland has naturally transitioned into the closer's role, Jeff Hoffman's recent performances, how McAdoo has acclimated himself into the Majors, Nathan Lukes being the jack of all trades as a baseball player, whether he'll consider resting George Springer more, whether he'd consider having three catchers in the lineup, and the effort shown by his players on the baseball diamond.
