Pitching Questions with Dan Shulman and Ricky Romero

Jeff Blair is solo on the second hour, and he kicks it off with Sportsnet's voice of the Blue Jays, Dan Shulman (1:10). They discuss Trey Yesavage's rookie-season grind, Shane Bieber's shaky season debut, and whether the bullpen solution can be found internally. Then, Jeff listens in on John Schneider's pre-game availability ahead of the Jays' second game against the Astros. Later, former Blue Jays pitcher Ricky Romero (29:40) joins the show to chat about Yesavage ahead of his start against Houston, what he has to learn in his first full season, the importance of a starter's relationship with his catcher, and what went wrong for Bieber in his return.
