Baseball Central @ Noon

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker recap the Blue Jays' 10-9 Opening Day win over the St. Louis Cardinals and share their thoughts on the way John Schneider configured the batting order, Matt Chapman hitting to the opposite field, how the team operated on the base paths, and Bo Bichette’s overall game. Blue Jays radio voice Ben Wagner comments on what a healthy George Springer brings to the lineup, Daulton Varsho batting in the clean-up spot, and Alek Manoah’s use of PitchCom (29:58). MLB insider Jeff Passan discusses Shohei Ohtani’s dominance in the Angels’ latest hard luck loss, the Mariners and Astros in the AL West, Adley Rutschman’s amazing season debut with the Orioles, and MLB and the MLBPA reaching a deal on a CBA for minor league players (49:30).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
