The Catcher Hour with Erik Kratz and Caleb Joseph

Erik Kratz, former MLB catcher and host of Foul Territory, joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker ahead of the Blue Jays' second game against the Red Sox (3:21). They discuss Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s slump, Max Scherzer being moved to the IL, the state of the American League, the Red Sox's struggles at home, how the Phillies turned it around under Don Mattingly, and why the Brewers should swing big at the trade deadline. Later, Blue Jays Central's Caleb Joseph (29:19) weighs in on Scherzer's MLB future, how Trey Yesavage can work his starts deeper into games, Dylan Cease's fastball usage, and signs that George Springer is heating up.
