How did the Blue Jays snap their six-game losing streak?
All right, welcome to Blair and Barker for June 30th. So, you probably know by now that the Raptors have apparently made a deal for Kawhi Leonard. And here's what's going to happen. Those of you listening to us on Sportsnet 590, the fan... We'll hear the Raptors show coming up in a few minutes as they break down the trade. And those of you who are watching us on TV, well, you're stuck with us. So, sorry about that. Huh? I look good today. Think for yourself.
What improvements did Trey Yusavage show against the Mets?
I mean, you look like you always look good. I guess. So, yeah. So, the Raptors have acquired... Kawhi Leonard. Now we wait to see how many games he actually plays.
Hey, there it is. Control your excitement, Jeffrey. Jeez, can you just be excited for people? Solid player when he plays.
What changes are being made to the Blue Jays' pitching lineup?
Are they better today than they were three weeks ago?
Yes. Move on. Well, I mean, Kawhi didn't play for them three weeks ago either. I'm asking you.
That's what I meant. They're better today than they were three weeks ago. That's the whole point.
If he played. Anyhow.
How did Bo Bichette feel during his return to Toronto?
That'll be good fun. Hey, I mean, why not try to bring back everything that used to work? I mean, if Kawhi can rejoin the Raptors, you know where I'm going with this. Let's hear it. If Kawhi can rejoin the Raptors.
Shut your mouth.
And certainly Bo Bichette can come back to the Blue Jays.
For a price.
I'm convinced Bo was basically saying yesterday, it was like, get me out of here. I'm convinced that's what he was saying.
What insights did Caleb Joseph share about Kevin Gausman's performance?
Maybe not to come to Toronto. Yeah, he's not coming here.
But I think what he was saying is, get me. And I don't blame him. Because really, that was, I mean, I've seen a lot of bad baseball. You know the teams I've covered? That might be the most dog-ass Mets team I've seen.
They look bad. With all due respect to Bo Bichette, because you know me, I love me some Bo Bichette. He's making 42 large a year.
How is Vladdy Jr. coping with his struggles this season?
Well.
There it is. There it is. It doesn't matter. If you want me to feel sorry for Bo Bichette, you are barking up the wrong tree, big fella. Old former player begrudges current players their money.
Here we go.
I've been here three months. I can't handle it anymore.
We're losing.
What impact does the starting rotation have on the Blue Jays' success?
Yeah, get over it. Old former player begrudges players their money. Brings up the money. It's the same thing.
They stink. Yeah. I mean, they really do. Yeah, you sat there and went blind. I'm listening for it. I'm listening for him to say it so he can get me out of here.
What are the expectations for the upcoming game against the Mets?
Come on, dude. Make it 42 million. Start raking. Maybe you'll be better. Maybe your organization will be better.
They stink. Yeah. I mean, watching them on the field last night. Watching Francisco Lindor, who used to be like the face of baseball and everybody fell in love with him. I mean, that team, you know what they look like? They look like a toxic waste dump.
Yeah, that's the way the Jays would look if they were in the National League in 2026. They'd look exactly like that.
That is true.
Which is not a good thing. Absolutely not. So it's like, you know, you like watching Soto hit. I do. I don't like him playing defense, but I love watching him hit. Bo's a pretty good hitter. I like watching that. Lindor hit a homer on a bad pitch. I like watching that, too, other than all that other stuff. Do you really think the Mets were going to make a run at it? Come on, let's get real.
I mean, I think at the start of the year, a lot of people thought they would be there. I know one person in this room, or I should say two people in this room, did not pick them to finish last.
If you're not first, you're last.
As a matter of fact, I believe one of the people in this room picked him to go to the playoffs. I'm not going to drop the name, but I think one of the people in this room picked him to go to the playoffs. Well, the other one predicted they'd be fourth and took a lot of grief for it. I do believe the other person in the room, the person I'm talking to, had Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Miami ahead of the Mets. You must have went and looked it up. And the other person was chuckling. Miami ahead of the Mets? Are you nuts? What are you smoking? You're smoking that good stuff.
