Chapter 1: What were the key moments in the Blue Jays' 8-2 loss to the Marlins?
phones then, you know. That's why no one wears them. No one in days, my friend. Yeah, it is. It's one of those days. Yeah.
How you doing, buddy?
I'm doing well.
Everything's good?
Hay fever. Like, the last couple of days, man, they opened the roof last night, right, at the Jays game. Oh, yeah. And... All you could hear was, you know, like everybody, because there was so much dust and pollen. It was brutal.

Chapter 2: How have injuries impacted the Blue Jays' offensive performance?
Anyhow. Yeah. I mean, you know, May, late May, the stuff's blooming. Really?
Yeah.
It's bad. Oh.
Chapter 3: What insights does Otto Lopez share about returning to Rogers Centre?
Speaking of bad, Jays lost 8-2 to the Miami Marlins last night. Perfect timing. We've got Mark Budzinski, the outfield coach and first base coach on. Yeah. After watching Johan Rick Pignango.
Wow. You're going to be that hard on him, huh? On who?
Chapter 4: What defensive miscues did Yohendrick Piñango make during the game?
On Pena. Yeah, he's catch the ball. Oh, yeah. You don't think that was – Well, I think the line drive right at him, I think that's a tough one. I think he did everything right but catch it. That's not an easy play for a guy that's not a very good defender.
The other one, I've been there before where I'm not making excuses for him and I'm not saying the ball shouldn't have been caught and I'm not saying he's one of the reasons why they lost.
Chapter 5: How has Otto Lopez evolved as a player since his time with the Blue Jays?
I'm not saying any of that.
He is one of the reasons they lost.
That's what I said. I'm not saying he ain't one of the reasons why.
He might be the biggest reason they lost.
Well, I mean, the walks didn't help either.
No. And one for nine with runners in scoring position.
So there was a lot of blame and a lot of finger pointing. And the other one, when he's running in, that's not an easy play either. For a young kid to sort of be trying to communicate with a veteran infielder is not the easiest thing to do. Again, I'm not making excuses for him, and I'm not saying the ball should not always be caught. Not saying that.

Chapter 6: What strategies does Otto Lopez use to prepare against pitchers with diverse arsenals?
But I'm saying, right, it's the – when you're a younger guy trying to make his way, trying not to be seen in the outfield when you're not a very good defender – You know, these are not the easiest things and not the easiest plays to make. Again, I'm not saying, again, that these plays shouldn't be made, but I'm saying the line drive's not an easy play.
I'm just giving you examples of situations that I was a part of when I was an infielder trying to go back on an outfielder and... It's just there's some communication factors there that, again, when you're a young guy, you don't want to be seen. You want to let the veteran guy make the play all the time, and you're just trying to basically stay out of it. Again, I'm not making excuses for you.
Yeah, you are.
No, I'm not. I'm going to sound like you. It's not his first game in the left field. I'm going to sound like you.
My roof's – Out of the roof now. The line drive, that had nothing to do with it. Maybe the little lazy pop-up behind Andre.

Chapter 7: What challenges do hitters face when adjusting to pitchers' strategies?
Maybe that had a little something to do with it. Again, that communication where I'm playing, where I start, who I'm looking at to catch the baseball, who's a very good defender, who's not a very good defender. I'm just telling you what's going on in the head of a defender. That's all I'm telling you. I'm not making excuses for him.
Anyhow, it cost the Jays three runs.
Well, the walks didn't help either.
The walks didn't help either. But if he catches the ball, that first ball, that inning's over.
That's fair. If you don't walk a guy, you probably don't get to that play. You can roll your eyes at me all you want.
Because walks are going to happen.
For pitch walks?
Walks sometimes happen.

Chapter 8: How does Otto Lopez view the potential of the Marlins for the remainder of the season?
I'm saying, again, you know, you're – Should we start over? Not really, because, again, I'm not making excuses for the kid. The kid should always be catching balls he should be catching. I'm just telling you that it's not as easy as throwing your hands in the air going, you know, line drives right at you is not easy in the big leagues. Just not.
And, again, is he a great defender or a good defender? Probably below average. There it is. He's here because he can hit, not because he can catch a ball in left field.
Which explains the right fielder, too. It's a reality.
Yeah.
That's neither one of those guys' fault. Okay?
Well, no. They're playing because the preferred options aren't here or hurt. There it is. Anyhow, we are going to talk to Mark Budzinski. Bob Nightingale is going to join us.
Yeah.
And Otto Lopez. Former Blue Jay. That's awesome. With the Marlins will be along. He got a good swing. I like Ottawa. I do, too. I mean, you know, I don't want to go into it. It happens. Listen, every major league team has got guys they've had to DFA because of roster crunches. I mean, the Jays, Jason Adam, Brian Baker. There are a ton of guys you can go through. Jason Adam, I already said.
Brian Baker, you can go through. It happens. Yep.
