Blue Jays Talk

To Bunt, or Not to Bunt, That Is The Question

Episode Description from the Publisher

Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 3-1 loss vs. the Yankees to even this series at one game apiece in Toronto. They take your calls and texts, and get right to the two eighth inning decisions that turned this game: asking Ernie Clement to bunt with runners on first and second base and nobody out, and not pinch-hitting for Charles McAdoo with the bases loaded later in the inning. Should John Schneider take more flak for asking Clement to bunt or not inserting Alejandro Kirk into the game? They debate Schneider's role as manager and what modern managers do in today's game, get into Kazuma Okamoto smashing a solo home run off Cam Schlittler, and discuss Kevin Gausman's seven innings of one-run ball.   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.
