BJN Radio – Ep. 211: Lineup changes, bullpen woes, Alek Manoah’s return, and more

That’s four series losses in a row for the Toronto Blue Jays, who dropped two of three games in a sloppy series against the Washington Nationals.
We talked about how the bats came through with more offence than usual but the team’s bullpen faltered in both of their losses. We also talked about Alek Manoah making his first start with the Blue Jays since last August and what’s next for the former ace.
After that, we looked at the three new arms the Blue Jays have added to Triple-A Buffalo, including the return of Aaron Sanchez. Finally, we looked ahead to this week’s two-game set against the Philadelphia Phillies, the hottest team in baseball.
