Chapter 1: What were the highlights of the Blue Jays' loss to the Rangers?
All right, Kevin Barker. Well, the comeback was nice. I mean, it'd be better if it wasn't 6-0 at one point. But I guess at this point in time, we look for silver linings in the clouds. Correct?
Absolutely.
416-870-0590, star 590, 1-888-666-0590, 590-590 is the text line. The Blue Jays have lost 6-5 to the Texas Rangers in the first game of this four-game series. They're now 1-3 in this homestand. All right, find me the silver lining.
Chapter 2: How did Kevin Gausman's performance impact the game?
The Vladdy double play was nice, throwing the ball over the runner. That's a big deal. The Davis-Schneider dive, double play, throwing the first. Gosman going six innings, could have very easily went four and a third, blowing up another bullpen. Going into tomorrow, that's a bad thing. They had a big fifth inning where the bottom of the lineup did some things.
Okamoto going deep, Ernie with two hits. You know, Okamoto with the power to center field, that's good stuff, Jeff. Like, that's a bomb. Like, you know, I used to take a lot of batting practice to Rogers Center when I played for the Blue Jays.
Chapter 3: What are the concerns about the Blue Jays' starting pitching?
And when he goes there and it's effortless, man, that's big boy. That's big boy land where he's going. So there were some positives, just ā You know, it's kind of the same old things like Groundhog Day. Two of your better hitters, 0 for 8. You know, Springer, Vladdy kind of looking the same, right, taking the big daddy hacks.
Springer took a bunch of those tonight where he was getting good pitches to hit. It's just ā why the big swing, Jeff? I just don't understand that, right? When he's going well, it's just ā
Chapter 4: What positives can be taken from the Blue Jays' comeback attempt?
Kind of short to it. You kind of rotate. You know, you let the ball jump off of the barrel because you're swinging at the right pitch. In the last couple games, for whatever reason, you know, he's taking them big daddy hacks. He's... Off balance, like that's just for me not going to work here consistently. So them two dudes got to figure it out.
Yeah, Vladdy, another 0 for 4 tonight. A couple of ground balls, a ground ball double play. Called out on strikes in the fourth inning.
Chapter 5: Who are the standout players for the Blue Jays in this game?
He had like a 12 pitch at bat in the ninth inning. He battled. That's the good news. The bad news is three of those pitches should have been deposited into this. I take that back. Two of those pitches should have been put into the seats. But, I mean, it's nice that at least he's hanging in there and extending the pitcher. And as you said, Kaz Okamoto with the home run tonight.
Ernie Clement on base. Two hits for Ernie Clement.
Chapter 6: What does Ernie Clement's All-Star selection mean for the team?
Celebrating the fact that he has got more All-Star votes than anybody in the American League. He's the All-Star second baseman. Kevin, this team, I mean, this team could theoretically have four dudes in the All-Star game starting.
How many? How many?
Maybe four starting, depending. Well, it's a fan vote. I mean, the finalists were announced tonight. Everybody's in it.
Who's the other two?
Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Blue Jays' current standings?
Well, Vladdy's in it. I mean, take a look at the finalists. The final vote hasn't been in yet.
Springer, Vladdy, Okamoto.
I think there's like six J's.
Yeah.
That'll be fun. Absolutely. I mean, just wait.
More the merrier.

Chapter 8: What adjustments do the Blue Jays need to make moving forward?
Yeah, well, I think so, too.
Send their whole team. That's what I say.
Well, I mean, the coaches are going anyhow. So, listen, that'll be interesting on X tomorrow. I'm sure the Jays fans will be getting flamed. So, here are the finalists, by the way, for the American League, just so you believe me. Because Ernie Clement's already been voted in. I said that. Ketcher. Well-deserved. Ketcher, Shea Langeleers, and Alejandro Kirk. First base, Vladdy and Ben Rice.
Third base, Kaz Okamoto and Junior Caminero. Shortstop, Bobby Witt and Andres Jimenez. Outfield, Judge, Trout, Buxton, Bellinger, Varshow, Jesus Sanchez, Kevin. Jesus Sanchez. I mean, what are they going to do? They're going to have a catch-the-fly-ball exhibition, I suppose. And George Springer. George Springer's a designated hitter along with Yordana Alvarez.
So, boy, I'll tell you right now, if you're... National League might win that sucker 16 to nothing if all those Blue Jays are in the game. Don't get nasty. I'm not nasty. Try to talk me out of it. That's nasty. I mean, come on. No, you're on your own. I'm glad, Jay. I mean, you know, the all-star voting is what it is. It's really worth nothing. It's a big deal.
It's a big deal in that it's fun for the fans. You know, there's no autopsy or no foul, no autopsy, that sort of thing. Nobody gets hurt. Nobody gets libeled. It's all good, clean fun. And just keep stuffing the ballot boxes, folks. It's driving folks in New York and Boston nuts, so just keep doing it.
Yeah, until 9Js go. And then you've got to flip that sucker on its end and figure out what you're going to do next year.
Think of all the all-star boys. I wonder, has the team ever, like, I mean, let's just say they're, like, Eight games under five. Has a team eight games under 500 had to pay out like six all-star bonuses before? I don't know.
I don't know either.
