Jeff Blair 0:04
Alright, well sometime around I wanna say seven o'clock before this game started. uh scoreboard, center field scoreboard here at the Roger Center, panning the crowd. Showed a picture of this a couple of young kids, this beautiful handmade sign. New season. New story. With all due respect, yes it is a new season, but Kevin, this seems like the same old story for the Blue Jays. A 14-2 loss to the LA Dodgers. Not much going on offensively. Heck, nothing going on offensively. And another, well, we don't know if it's an injury, but Mac Scherzer leaving after two innings. Uh I mean there's any way you can go here, Kevin. Uh I mean Tyler He you know, Tyler Heineman making a second pitching appearance of the year in the first ten games.
Jeff Blair 1:01
I don't know what's worse, that or the fact that the Dodgers Up fourteen one can send a position player out to pitch with a lead like that. I mean, if I'm sitting in the Blue Jays dugout, I'm Yeah, I it's not a very good feeling right now.
Kevin Barker 1:20
Yeah, I don't think so. I mean, y you know, you got a bunch of guys in your lineup who are going through it. You know, mentally, physically, trying to figure out game plans. You can tell a bunch of dudes are in between. Like they're taking pitches they should be hammering, they're swinging at stuff that they should never be swinging at. And, you know, even when they do get their A swing off, it just looks slow through the zone. Like, you know there's just no snap and and no authority getting to the big finish that we've seen a bunch of those guys get into. You know, I don't want to say it's early anymore. They don't look early, Jeff to me. They they look like a team they look like a team that's grinding through it.
Kevin Barker 1:51
There were things. And you know, when you face teams, I said this today, you know, the the net today it was the next six out of the nine you're facing the Dodgers and the Brewers, who are really good teams, who you're gonna come have to come out and do things to beat them. And if you don't, they're gonna take you behind the woodshed and You know, this is sorta something you I don't think this early in the year you can throw that you can wad this up and throw it in the garbage. I think this is one of those where you gotta go home, look at yourself in the mirror and figure out what you're doing wrong. Come back tomorrow and figure it out. But I I would assume tomorrow with Gosman on the mound, they'll feel a little bit better.
Kevin Barker 2:29
They'll at least feel like they got an opportunity going forward, deeper into the game. thinking that Gosman will give him a chance.
Jeff Blair 2:37

Um Don't know what to make of it other than that. I uh you know, again, the Jays have lost five in a row.
Jeff Blair 3:38
That matches their longest losing streak of last year. Uh they had one of the easiest schedules to start the season. You can't sugarcoat it. You got Oakland at home, Colorado at home, Chicago on the road. And you're uh you come home, you lose the Dodgers, you're four and six. Could be worse, I guess, could be the Red Sox. But that's uh that's kind of.
Kevin Barker 4:05
I mean that neither of them not really gonna not
Jeff Blair 4:06
really gonna put any not gonna cover up anybody's wounds, I don't think.
Kevin Barker 4:11
Yeah, neither one of them teams are playing well. I mean I I think you sometimes too gotta tip your hat to the other team. I mean you look at that lineup, Utani, Tucker, Freeman, Hernandez, Muncie. I mean that's throwing some major stuff at you. And then that rushing kid that they can throw out there to back up catch who's hitting balls to the moon.
