We’re shaking up Section 138 with a BRAND NEW LOGO for the first time in podcast history.

Oof. The Toronto Blue Jays lose their second consecutive series, dropping three of four to the Cleveland Guardians despite the much-anticipated return of Teoscar Hernández. Now, the lack of offence is starting to cost the Blue Jays games. When, if ever, will things turn around? Will it happen this week against the New York Yankees, or will it take longer against the Tampa Bay Rays, Seattle Mariners or even the Cincinnati Reds? Mark and Bryson also discuss sloppy play on…

Mark, Bryson and Jacob discuss the Blue Jays’ offensive struggles and what will get it going. Is Teoscar Hernández the solution? What about re-hiring Dante Bichette?
