What was the opening recap of the Blue Jays’ 5‑2 win and sweep of the Cardinals?
All right, I knew I left my... I thought I left my broom around here someplace. Campbell's got it in the next room. Oh, that's right. Yeah, he borrowed it. So, Kevin Barker, with today's 5-2 win for the Blue Jays over the St. Louis Cardinals, let me ask you, who's got the third-best record in the American League right now?
Well, I looked it up right before you asked me that question. I do think, Jeff... It's your Blue Jays. That's your Blue Jays. Well, I'll take them. If you'll give them to me, I'll take them. I want them bad. They're doing so well. Supporting cast, sack bunts, sack flies, power out of the pen.
Small
ball, big balls. They got
balls coming out all over the place. Balls
everywhere. Boy, it's a lot of fun when they're winning, isn't it? Yeah,
absolutely. It
just makes us happy.
I mean, it's kind of scary. It is. It's kind of scary because you, you know, you've got a whole lot of. You still don't know. There's a whole lot of. You're hoping. There's a whole lot of Miles Straughn stuff going on. Well, that's fine.
Don't be saying that. No, it's
true. They
paid Miles Straughn a lot
of money.
Actually,
they did. I mean, trick
somebody.
Yeah. He's been doing well. It is Blue Jays talk with Blair and Barker. We're on Sportsnet 590. The fan will, we're soon to join our friends on the TV side on Sportsnet. The number to call in 416-413-3959. It's the back leg line. You'll hear Barker's voice. Leave a question or comment on today's game for us. If you don't feel like doing that, you can text us. Yeah. 590-590, name and location, si vous plaît. Like that? Dropped a little Francais there. Man of the people. You're for everybody. Indeed the man of the people. Not much doubt about that. So, boy, I mean, a sweep of the Cardinals, as we all predicted. An off day. I don't think we're shocked. Tomorrow. I don't think
we're shocked they swept the Cardinals. I don't think that.
Well, considering the fact the Cardinals just finished beating – I'm surprised. The Cardinals just finished beating the Dodgers. I thought the Cardinals series would – I thought this game would be tough. You know, the Eric Lauer game, the bullpen game. I mean, I just – you know – And it's hard to
sweep a good team on the
road. Bad on me, but I thought that this was the game where, and I should know by now that, I mean, these so-called bullpen games that the Jays are involved in, you know, John Schneider and Pete Walker seem to spin all the right, pull all the right levers in these games. I should have known. I should have known it. But, man, I mean, remember how we used to laugh and chuckle about you could take 10 teams in the National League and they'd be better than the best team in the American League? Don't look now, but the Jays have as many wins as the Phillies, I believe. Boy, they're tied. They're tied, yeah. The same amount of wins. The same amount of wins as the Phillies. Well, I remember about
three weeks ago, the Jays were like the 10th best team in the American League, which wasn't saying much. No. And now, all of a sudden, look at them.
Yeah. Yeah. Let's start with the pitching. I mean, obviously, Ernie Clement had a terrific game. But
my
goodness, Eric Lauer, four in the third inning. Braden Fisher. Spencer Turnbull gets the win. Shout out to Brendan Little. 31 pitches today after 24 pitches a couple of days ago. The Jays without Jeff Hoffman. today as a result of his workload. I mean, workload is something we talked to Pete Walker the other day. Workload is something that's really on their mind
when it comes
to these relievers. Brendan Little gutted it out. And then Yariel Rodriguez, his first Blue Jays save. And actually, according to Ben Shulman, his first save since 2021 in Cuba. He was a reliever in the Japanese Professional League, but apparently he wasn't a closer. He's a setup guy. So there you go. And by the way, he hit 99 miles an hour in getting that save.
Yeah, I think it's competitive. You know, I think the non-competitive Yario Rodriguez is a thing of the past. You know, you got the split finger at 91. You got the slider that has the late break to it.
