Chapter 1: What were the key moments in the Blue Jays' loss to the Braves?
All right, Kevin Barker. Well, Patrick Corbin and the Braves. Not necessarily the dream matchup if you are the Toronto Blue Jays. Is that enough? Twelve losses for Patrick Corbin in his career against the Braves. The good news is they get to face Chris Sale tomorrow. He's only the best pitcher Atlanta has right now. Braves have won the first two games of this three-game series.
Game three going tomorrow night. The numbers to call on Blue Jays Talk.
Chapter 2: How did Patrick Corbin perform against the Braves?
416-870-0590. Star 590. 1-888-666-0590. The text line is open. 590. 590. 7-3. The Braves win this one. All seven runs. Kevin Barker coming with two outs.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Blue Jays' recent offensive struggles?
Yeah, I mean, look, I didn't think Patrick Corbin was that bad, other than the two-out walk to the 7-0 here in the second inning to sort of get things started, and then the stolen base. And, you know, it was kind of what the Braves do, right? When you make a mistake, they take advantage. They take the extra base, just trying to keep traffic off the bases. I mean, this is sort of expected, right?
This was more about the Braves lineup than it was Patrick Corbin for me, Jeff. It was... You know, other than the sinker that he gave up the three-run homer on in the third inning, I mean, he was decent. He was decent enough. You know, if you came into this saying that Patrick Corbin through five was going to give up four runs, you would have taken that every day and twice on Sunday.
Chapter 4: What changes are needed for the Blue Jays to improve their performance?
And that's exactly what happened. And then Adam Macko in the seventh inning, that's just a little bit too much heavy lifting in that part of the order with what Olsen's doing. And we talked about Ozzie Albies today, Jeff. Like, you know, run producers spin early in counts to slug to the pull side. What did that little dude do?
You could tell when he was walking to the plate, he's thinking to himself, ain't no way this kid's going to throw me a heater. I'm going to sit, spin a little in, and look up. I'm going to beat him to the spot. I'm going to get to a big finish, and I'm going to end the baseball game. And that's exactly what happened.
Chapter 5: How does the acquisition of Simeon Woods Richardson affect the team?
This is just more for me. The Braves are a better team. Yeah. It doesn't have anything to do with Patrick Corbin or Adam Macko or ā Even the lineup for the Blue Jays right now, the Braves are just a much better team than the Blue Jays are.
Yeah, the Jays did get it going out of the gate. First three men reached, but all they could scratch across was a run on a Jesus Sanchez double play. And Nathan Lucas hit a home run.
Ten-game hitting streak. That's a big deal.
Chapter 6: What impact does Alejandro Kirk's return have on the lineup?
Yeah, it's a big deal. Ten-game hitting streak. And then Brandon Valenzuela homers in the ninth inning. But really. Yeah, not a whole lot going on for the Blue Jays against Grant Holmes.
Jeff, when you're lined up against the Braves, two through four is one for 10, two through five is two for 13. Without an RBI, you're not going to win many games like that. No. You're just not.
No.
Chapter 7: What are the fans saying about John Schneider's management?
They ā They're dead ass right now. They're four games under 500. You heard, if you're listening to the telecast, Caleb Joseph really lit up Vladdy and Bo. Not Bo. I'm sorry, Vladdy. You wish. I wish. Vladdy and Valenzuela. Don't ask me how the hell I got those two mixed up.
Chapter 8: What are the predictions for the Blue Jays' upcoming games?
I long for the days when we could rip Vladdy and Bo together. You know, we can't do that now. But Vladdy and Valenzuela on that pop-up. And, you know, I mean, I guess if you're the same opinion Kevin was about Vladdy's lack of hustle in the eighth inning last night. Or not lack of hustle. Let me rephrase that. Failing to run out that ball. It's just it's... It's a bad look.
They're just not a very good team right now. They're four games under .500, and they look like a team that's four games under .500.
That's really the only way to put it. Absolutely. That's not an easy play. Look, he's a big leaguer. They're both big leaguers right now. You're supposed to make that play all the time. It's the twilight. It's the Valenzuela trying to maneuver around what's laying on the on-deck circle. That should always be Vladdy's ball.
Vladdy should run in there with some aggression, yelling and screaming, I got it, I got it. He usually does. Dude wearing all that gar. You know, he's, again, that's not the easiest place to catch those little pop-ups close to the dugout. Again, I'm not making excuses for him. He should always make that play. It's not the easiest one.
But, Jeff, you know as well as anybody, when your team's looking the way the Blue Jays are looking right now, that's exactly what happened. I mean, this is sort of the way it looks is when balls go up, everybody starts looking at each other. You catch it. I got it. You got it. And then nobody gets it. Didn't hurt them. Just optically, it's just kind of the way the Blue Jays right now are looking.
Yeah, you mentioned that Chris Sale going tomorrow. You better have the clubby handouts, the big boy pants, or you're going home getting swept by the Braves.
Yeah, the Jays did make an in-game move acquiring Simeon Woods Richardson. Stop. Let me finish before you start laughing about the acquisition, okay? Jeez, man. What? Come on. I mean, look, they are at the point right now where they're throwing stuff against the wall and seeing if it sticks. I mean, that is true.
But acquiring Simeon Wood Richardson from the Minnesota Twins for cash considerations. Chad Dallas is on the taxi squad. Why are you laughing? Somebody's got to start the game tomorrow. You know, somebody's got to start the game tomorrow against Chris Sale. But, yeah. I guess the best news tonight, hey, Alejandro Kirk homered in Dunedin. Oh, that's awesome.
There you go, in the rehab game.
