How did the rainout affect the Blue Jays' series opener and what were the key takeaways?

Jeff Blair 0:13
Oh right. Well There's still life in the twenty twenty six. Season's still, just hang on. Yeah, I can hear it. It's barely breathing. Barely moving. Might need to do some C PR on it, but uh I mean the Jays will not be eliminated tonight. Because their game against the Orioles has been rained out, it'll be made up as part of a double header tomorrow, so Oh. Mathematically at least. They're still hanging in there. Yeah.
Kevin Barker 0:48
Well you gotta give him credit, Jeff. I mean, you know, it's Oh, here we go. Ah, you know. It's like uh I'm in I'm in a good mood. You know, look at the camera. Camera went all on me. It didn't it you know, it's not a split camera. There's you know, we we gotta we gotta believe, Jeff. No, we can't we do it. We gotta No we don't. Yeah, we gotta No. We gotta try. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I mean why not? Yeah, I suppose. Why not? Sure, why not?
Jeff Blair 1:15
It's not gonna change anything one way or another.
Kevin Barker 1:17
Yeah, why not? I mean it's Miracles have happened before, right?
Jeff Blair 1:20
No.
Kevin Barker 1:21
No, not with the Blue Jays?
Jeff Blair 1:22
No. I I've not seen
Kevin Barker 1:24
You've never seen it?
Jeff Blair 1:25
I've not seen
Kevin Barker 1:25
a miracle. Getting to game seven with a miracle. If mirac
Jeff Blair 1:29
if miracles really did happen to the Blue Jays, IKF would have taken a three inch lead off their bananas. The uh Jays losing four three to the Baltimore Oriolest night. Um, Tyler Rogers coming in and giving up his second home run of the year. To Pete Alonso. uh in the eighth inning on a night when Louis Varland wasn't available and is you know, predictably I think our our our friends on uh It was either during it was either during Blue Jay Central or during the telecast last night. I apologize, but they put a graphic up on the board. Showing that John Schneider has made more pitching changes. by a mile. than any other manager in baseball, which we know is because his starting rotation hasn't been very good.
Jeff Blair 2:20
And at the start of the year there was a little bit of cutting cutting and pasting going on with the bullpen. So Um you know what happens the more moves you make. with your relievers, the greater the chance of it not working out. Last night, uh Didn't work out for John Schneider. Played it the way he's supposed to play it, with no Louis Varl and Got a guy in who does not give up home runs. I mean the one thing you know about Tyler Rogers is the ball is gonna be in play but generally It's not gonna leave the yard. And a dude with uh well now forty home runs took him yard last night. And uh as a result the Jays ended up losing that game. Uh you know. Probably the the major talking point out of that game because the season is effectively over was the injury to uh Brett Bateman.
Jeff Blair 3:06
uh who was taken out of the game. Вithри, а і возрайд про фракче. Hearing that scared just hearing that scared the hell out of me. But uh the X rays were negative. I would be surprised if we'll see Brett Bateman again the rest of the year.
Kevin Barker 3:25
Yeah, I'm not sure. Now now Louis was available in the ninth inning, just not for four outs. No,
Jeff Blair 3:31
I I think John said he was not available.
Kevin Barker 3:33
Oh the way I understood it that he was available not for four outs. He was available in the ninth inning. So he wasn't he wasn't gonna
Jeff Blair 3:39
but he wasn't gonna use him in the eight. Since
Kevin Barker 3:41
everybody were throwing their hands in the air, why didn't you bring him in with two outside? He wasn't gonna use him
Jeff Blair 3:44
in the eighth inning. I mean bottom line. I mean bottom line is.
Kevin Barker 3:47
Yeah, yeah. You know, it was the couple of weeks ago, you know, w when he used his pen the way he used it and why aren't you using guys three days in a row and You know, just I you know uh I think we can put that to rest a little. Like it's you know, th it's just very hard, right? It's location, it's it's just it's very it's very tough to to do that consistently. And you know, when a guy gets paid to do one thing and that is that. If you're watching that on T V, you miss an inch. When you throw ninety two, ninety three, you don't get it back to a guy that Gets paid to do a bunch of that, and he's done a bunch of it this year. So Yeah, I mean it's it's it's a it's a valent try. Y you know, they had it set up for the r with the right guy.
